The panel will discuss the news, views along with a blues according to the commercial which not only features Jessia Rowe's laugh but also rotating fourth panelist, former Big Brother contestant Zach Douglas and new Seven weather-turned-wonder girl Monique Wright.
It's a good gamble for Seven's Superman Adam Boland who is the brain child of the show and judging by his previous success with Sunrise and The Morning Show his stamp of approval is a major plus for the series.
As I stated in an earlier post about the summer merry-go-round when presenters fill in for regular hosts, something usually comes good of it and new talent emerges. For Matthew White he has been typecast as the sports anchor for Seven as he moves after a successful stint filling in for David Koch on Sunrise and Chris Bath on Sydney's Weekend News over Summer into the hosting chair of The NightCap, diversifying his talents and broadening his portfolio.
From early mornings to late nights and 'bonings' Jessica Rowe provides experience for the show while Paul Murray has held his own on Triple M and previously NOVA FM before joining The Shebang breakfast show in Syndey on Triple M.
The NightCap is live and another attempt at our own late-night chat show that reviews the news, in the same mould of The Late Show and The Tonight Show. The only dissapointment is the show is on 7HD which may restrict potential audiences and the network is not prepared to gamble with the show on the main channel.
Nevertheless, HD may prove to be a good practice run or launching pad for a host of new Australian series that may otherwise not get picked up and if they work, they may be moved to the main channel. Andrew O'Keefe can be thankful for that after pitching his own night show to executives, the plan was shelved but with a new HD Channel, Channel Seven will gamble with his attempt in 2008.
Check out The NightCap tonight from 10:30PM on 7HD.
