Ray Martin is way cool
The greatest comedy show on Australian television, ‘A Current Affair’, is brought to us five nights a week by the eternally cool Ray Martin and his amazing coiffure.
Ray has brought sunshine and light into our lives for over 30 years through the guises of serious television journalism and variety television. He has been the worthy winner of five gold logies, does great work with charities and is good mates with celebrities all over the world. Importantly, he never forgets the importance of being able to relate to us regular Aussies.
Channel 9’s flagship comedy, ‘A Current Affair’, is the most innovative and daring of the news-comedy shows. Just when we think they can go no lower, stories are dredged from the depths of the journalistic gutter. Where else but ‘A Current Affair’ could our prime time television feature gems such as: little Aussie battlers, big bad corporations, shonky builders, evil real estate agents, local government incompetence, fat people trying to lose weight, anorexics trying to put on weight, shopping bargains, plastic surgery disasters and our perennial favourite, Schapelle Corby.
The script writers on ‘A Current Affair’ are comedic geniuses whose work Ray presents mostly with a straight face and occasionally with the wry smile we love so much. Clearly, Ray deserves to be winning more gold logies (if only Rove would crawl into a hole and disappear).
Ray and ‘A Current Affair’ are the way of the future. Ignore the non-believers like Media Watch who don’t have a sense of humour. Dismiss the challenge for news-comedy supremacy from Naomi Robson, the trash talking hussy on the other channel. Ignore the antics of the seriously disturbed John Safran. Stay true to the one and only.
