As ‘Eddie Everywhere McGuire’ heads into forced hibernation for the first half of 2008, his namesake, Ed Kavalee has just landed a new full time gig as co-host of the NOVA network’s drive show, The Wrong Way Home.
Kavalee joins Akmal Saleh and Cal Wilson after successfully filling in for Wilson in January whilst she was married. Kavalee’s profile has quickly risen following his co-hosting role on Get This with Tony Martin following its controversial axing in 2007.
An actor by trade, Kavelee first made his presence felt on Australian television sets as an actor on Thank God You’re Here. This has been followed by stints on Shaun Micaleff’s Newstopia which debuted at the end of 2007 and continued on this year joining the panel of Glenn Robbins’ Out of the Question which debuted last Thursday on Channel Seven.
Kavelee is becoming a very likeable personality after a good grounding with Tony Martin and Triple M, he is deservedly rising. I am not privy to knowing Kavalee but his humor is clever, witty and entertaining perhaps because of Martin’s influence.
The dynamic of the troubled NOVA drive show will now change and assist Akmal’s comedy with another person to bounce his jokes off. Problems maybe created however with now three presenters and an anchor, Jarrod Walsh all trying to get a word in.
Walsh’s job was somewhat done by Kavalee on Get This, with Richard Marsland on the buttons. Unfortunately Walsh could find his position non existent as the show evolves, at least NOVA now appear to have finalise their drive team and they can attempt to develop a rapport with their listeners having struggled to have a consistent team with a revolving door of members since the shows inception in 2007 of Matt Newton, Kate Ritchie, Matt Besley and Christy Warner.
Whilst it is good to have Kavalee back on air it is still disappointing that we do not hear Tony Martin’s voice across any network with Triple M also today changing tactics launching the Peter Berner Experiment for one hour at 3PM leading into the poorly rating Wil & Lehmo drive show.
I listened to Berner today having previously worked on The Cage and hosting breakfast with Mikey Robins and Amand Kellhar on Triple M. It will take sometime for Berner to develop his own conventional style and he sounded expectably nervous.
It’s a brave move by Triple M who last year axed Get This to re-focus on music across the middle of the day. The network doesn’t seem to know what they want.
Another about turn by Triple M management compliments the breakfast show with The Shebang going from three to four members after adding Paul Murray in 2008. Like The Wrong Way Home there are now four voices competiting which is surprising after Triple M cancelled The Cage because they said there were to many voices on the show and listeners felt that they didn’t know their hosts… de ja vu?
