Noughties Improv favourite Thank God You’re Here has returned to screens after a 16 year hiatus and it’s been welcomed back with open arms.
The show launched on Network 10 yesterday to 684,000 metro viewers. This was markedly above the next most-watched show in entertainment which was Seven’s The Chase with 539,000 metro viewers.
Thank God You’re Here is hinged on a particular improv game where comedian guests are asked to walk through a big blue door and hold their own in whatever random scene they have walked into.
The show helped 10 win all demos across the metro area.
Meanwhile, advertising favourite Gruen also hopped into the top 10 with 480,000 people watching the popular advertising show.
Overall, Seven won the night with 27.4 per cent of views, followed by Nine with 26.7 per cent, Network 10 with 20.0 per cent, the ABC with 18.8 per cent and SBS with 7.2 per cent.
