Weekdays 3pm-4pm |
| Concept |
It was basically a talk show with celebrities that would start with a discussion round, including all guests of the show and a current topic. It would include interviews with the celebrities, a cooking spot, an interview with a non celebrity, who has an interesting story to tell and for some time there was a fun challenge between two Michael fans. This was dropped in the second half of the run. The following years there was talk about a possible second season. Unfortunately that never materialised and our guess is that Michael's pretty crammed schedule was to blame. Michael was a hit with the audiences and had very impressive viewing figures. |
