Not satisfied with winning the 2021 AACTA Award for Best Comedy Entertainment Program, Tom Gleeson has combed the nation to find a new bunch of self-nominated experts willing to undergo the HARDEST test there is.
In each episode, four everyday Aussies will pit themselves not just against each other, but against Australian’s grumpiest quiz show host. Only one can hold aloft the coveted Big Brass Mug!
The contestants’ passions are wilder than ever, from headline news and pop culture classics, through to obscure corners of science, technology, history, politics and the arts. Gold Logie winner Tom Gleeson knows just how to bring the fun to any topic, and you can bet he’ll throw a curve-ball in each week with a specialist topic of his own.
This season includes three ‘Duds’ specials, in which fan favourites who disappeared through the big steel doors will be welcomed back to try their luck again. Which Duds will make the most of their second chance at glory?
Buzzers ready, Australia: it’s time to play, HARD!
On tonight’s episode, Tom dangles his Big Brass Mug in front of typeface fan Rachel, Tasmanian devil lover Fiona, James – who knows a little too much about war criminal Breaker Morant – and Glen, who is so obsessed with Aussie songbird Tina Arena that he followed her to France!
