We had a show in the nineties called A Current Affair, so did they, tabloid journalism that evolved into shows like Inside Edition and FOX News. Theirs still exists and has its own web page.

They've had a series of revolving hosts over time. The one they had then was Jana Wendt. Mike Willesee was the original.

Meanwhile. We had ours over here with Maury Povich, who later went on to do a daytime talk show dedicated to giving paternity tests. Rob Lowe was involved in a sex scandal with underaged girls and Donald Trump was a New York millionaire caught cheating on his wife with a woman who would become his second wife. I'm not sure what became of him.

  1. The guy at the end of the Australian Mad parody is Derryn Hinch, another TV news host who had himself been subject of a Mad parody a few issues prior.
