The New Zealand animated television series bro'Town frequently features special guests - notable celebrities from politics, art, culture, music, the media, business and sport. For the most part, these cameos depict the celebrities as themselves, often saying a catchphrase for which they are notable.
The most regular cameos are John Campbell and Carol Hirschfeld, former newsreaders on TV3 (the same network that bro'Town is screened on). John and Carol are usually depicted as television news anchor and television reporter respectively. Former All Black and Manu Samoa player Michael Jones is the only special guest who could be considered a member of the core cast, as he is the P.E. teacher at St Sylvester's. Former New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark and Hip hop rapper Scribe have also been guests on all five seasons of bro'Town to date.
Most special guests have been New Zealanders, however some notable overseas guests have featured such as Rove McManus and Charles, Prince of Wales.
A complete list of special guests follows.
Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, special and/or guests:
“The advice of their elders to young men is very apt to be as unreal as a list of the hundred best books.”
—Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. (1841–1935)
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“We agree fully that the mother and unborn child demand special consideration. But so does the soldier and the man maimed in industry. Industrial conditions that are suitable for a stalwart, young, unmarried woman are certainly not equally suitable to the pregnant woman or the mother of young children. Yet “welfare” laws apply to all women alike. Such blanket legislation is as absurd as fixing industrial conditions for men on a basis of their all being wounded soldiers would be.”
—National Woman’s Party, quoted in Everyone Was Brave. As, ch. 8, by William L. O’Neill (1969)
“When the guests have left, the host is at peace.”
—Chinese proverb.
