Show Notes
INTERVIEW: Guy Montgomery is an absolute legend. He’s one of the funniest, most genuine and effortlessly entertaining people you’ll ever meet — and judging by the stories about the awards he used to give himself as a kid, he’s always been that way.
In this interview, I catch up with Guy to talk about his brilliant show, Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont-Spelling Bee, now a hit in New Zealand, Australia and the UK. We chat about how a silly lockdown game with his mates turned into an award-winning TV phenomenon that earned him a Silver Logie.
But that’s just the beginning. We also talk about becoming a dad, parenting, mortality, and relive the gloriously cringe reality show we made together 15 years ago. Plus, we get nostalgic about the incredibly talented group of comedian friends he came up with through the same improv scene — many of whom have gone on to become comedy superstars in their own right.
