Unfunny Australian "comedian" to host upcoming US TV special

ROVE McManus has taken a huge leap towards US stardom, having been picked to host a major entertainment special for the powerful ABC network.

McManus will host ABC’s The List, a one-hour program that promises to be a funny, informative and provocative countdown through everything that’s happening in the world of entertainment and pop culture.

The show will screen in the US next Wednesday.

McManus was in New York yesterday rehearsing for the show that will be filmed in Times Square.

It will be done in the same studio as he filmed his Rove TV show from last July.

"He has been going backwards and forwards from the US for a while,” McManus’s publicist, Maria Farmer, said.

"He has met the right people and he was invited to host a show for ABC America.

"He is rehearsing, looking out at the snow falling in Times Square.”

The hosting opportunity is a huge coup for McManus and is a major step towards him breaking into the lucrative US TV market.

He has already appeared three times on Jay Leno’s top-rating tonight show and developed extensive TV contacts in America since that first appearance in May last year.

McManus’s production company, Roving Enterprises, produces Rove, Before the Game and Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader for Channel 10.
