The Assembly on ABC and ABC iview S1E2 – The Assembly follows Autistic journalism students as they are mentored by one of Australia’s most renowned journalist and interviewer, Leigh Sales, culminating in a fresh and engaging interview with comedic presenter, Hamish Blake.
When Leigh reveals their next celebrity guest is comedian Hamish Blake, a double Gold Logie winner and host of Lego Masters, there is much excitement amongst the students. Dylan shares that he is a huge Lego person and fellow classmate Angus is a big fan of Hamish. Meanwhile, Chau is concerned that he can’t connect with Hamish because he doesn’t understand his humour.
The students’ interview with Hamish is filled with laughter and heart. Savannah steals the show by asking what Hamish thinks of Leigh Sales, while Chau’s question about happiness and comedy elicits a deep and insightful answer from Hamish.
Mitch shares his troubled past and is rewarded by Hamish opening up about his own teenage years. Evie struggles to get their question out, but the heart-felt answer they receive makes it all worthwhile.
