Thank God You’re Here: Ed Kavalee reveals most difficult celebrity guest

Radio host Ed Kavalee has worked alongside a slew of hilarious actors and comedians on Thank God You’re Here.

And on Friday, the 40-year-old funnyman revealed who the most difficult star to work with on the improvisational comedy show.

Ed, who was part of the ensemble cast during the show’s four seasons on Channel 10, told News.com.au that it was Shaun Micallef because he would go out of his way to cause chaos on set.

‘He would pick up things, he would flip pieces of the set and he would try and open doors on the set that weren’t meant to open,’ he said. 

The format of the show involved the host, Shane Bourne, inviting a guest comedian to walk through a door and onto a set with an ensemble cast and props.

Upon entering the scene, the guest would be told ‘thank god you’re here’ by one of the ensemble actors, and from there they would have to improvise the scene in character for up to five minutes.  

Ed explained that he and the cast would position themselves to make sure Shaun would not try to escape the scene, ask the audience questions or try to cause anarchy.

He also recalled a time during one of Shaun’s scenes where he tried to drag the host Shane onto the scene.  

‘We were all looking at each other going, “Right, if he pulls Shane in, we’re just going to have to say, thank god you’re here, but excuse me, you’re not required,”‘ he said.

Ed also gave a special mention to comedian Frank Woodley, who he said would try to kiss him during a scene. 

‘I ended up knowing that was probably going to take place so I always had a few things in my head of how I was going to left or right him,’ he said.

Since starring on Thank God You’re Here, he has gone on to become co-host of the Hughesy and Ed show with Dave Hughes, as well as regular panellist on Have You Been Paying Attention.

Ed is also married to former Biggest Loser trainer Tiffiny Hall, and together share two-year-old son Arnold.
