Australian comedy royalty joins TV Central for a candid, funny and surprisingly revealing conversation.

This week on the TV Central: One on One podcast, Aaron Ryan sits down with one of the most influential figures in Australian television history — Tom Gleisner.

From creating comedy classics like Frontline, The Late Show and The Castle to steering modern favourites like Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Cheap Seats,

Tom reflects on a remarkable career that has shaped generations of Australian comedy.

In a wide-ranging interview filled with laughs, behind-the-scenes stories and classic Working Dog humour, Tom talks about the evolution of Australian television, why HYBPA still works after all these years, and whether Australians will ever discover the truth behind the show’s suspiciously perfect “60-second clock”.

• Why Have You Been Paying Attention? continues to dominate Australian television
• The secret chemistry behind the HYBPA cast chaos
• Tom responds to the “fake 60-second clock” conspiracy
• How The Cheap Seats became one of Australia’s most-loved comedy panel shows
• The enduring culture and success of Working Dog Productions
• Whether we could see more Thank God You're Here
• Looking back at the legacy of Frontline and why it still feels relevant today
• Stories from the glory days of The Late Show
• Why Russell Coight became an Australian comedy icon
• Tom’s thoughts on influencing a new generation of Australian comedians
• Whether there’s any chance of a The Panel revival
• And why Working Dog’s style of comedy has endured for decades

It’s a warm, funny and nostalgic conversation with one of Australia’s greatest comedy minds — and a must-listen for anyone who grew up quoting Working Dog productions.
