HE'S played Australia's favourite doddery uncle, a
dangerously inept Dundee-style outback adventurer and
a purveyor of fine sausages on top-rating Kath and
Kim.

Now, for his latest challenge, comic Glenn Robbins is
having a crack at hosting his own quiz show.

Robbins has left Channel Ten for the Seven Network to
make a new, irreverent - and possibly irrelevant -
quiz/chat show, called Out of the Question.

The talented comedian will be joined by three
celebrity guests each week to explore world events -
and whatever else comes up - from a unique
perspective.

"I've worked on so many shows with my mates, I thought
it was about time I threw down my own picnic rug for
them to come and play on," said Robbins, a foundation
member of Ten's The Panel.

Robbins, a much-loved mirth-maker whose pedigree
stretches back to The Comedy Company - the home of his
Uncle Arthur - describes Out of the Question as a quiz
show that's "a little loose around the edges".

Developed and co-produced by Robbins and Jigsaw
Entertainment, the show involves him taking his guests
down a line of topical questions that will be
"revealing, humorous and informative".

"Hopefully, I'll get more than just the answers out of
them," he said.

Robbins revealed that, sadly, Seven had rejected his
offer of using Uncle Arthur in the new line-up. Nor
should you expect to see Russell Coight, of All Aussie
Adventures fame.
