NEW FARCES

NEW FACES
Nine Network 1963-1985, Network Ten 1992-1993

NEW FARCES
Australian MAD #289, August 1989
w & a: Warren Brown

This parody was done in between the old and later incarnations of the show, presumably figuring who the hosts would be if there was a new version. This is hosted by Daryl Somers of Hey Hey It's Saturday (which had an ostrich pupppet as his co-star) with judges Wilbur Wilde and Victoria Nicolls. If you haven't figured it out from the context, New Faces was a talent show.
Tony Barber was an Australian game show host. Jeff Fenech was a boxer. Bert Newton was the original host.

  1. It looks like the show had been revived by Nine at the time, with Somers as host:
