Cast
The Late Show has its roots in the 1980s comedy group, The D-Generation. Consisting mostly of Melbourne University students, The D-Generation managed to gain a cult following with their radio and TV appearances.
After the breakup of the original The D-Generation, some of the members went on to perform on the commercial TV programme Fast Forward. The remaining members filmed several pilots for what was to be called The Late Late Show at Channel Nine. These were rejected, and so the group accepted the ABC's offer of a one-hour timeslot on Saturday night. The cast members were:
- Santo Cilauro
- Tom Gleisner
- Jane Kennedy
- Judith Lucy (second season only)
- Tony Martin
- Mick Molloy
- Rob Sitch
- Jason Stephens

Famous quotes containing the word cast:
“But first Elpenor came, our friend Elpenor,
Unburied, cast on the wide earth,
Limbs that we left in the house of Circe,
Unwept, unwrapped in sepulchre, since toils urged other.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
“Next, when I cast mine eyes and see
That brave vibration each way free,
O how that glittering taketh me!”
—Robert Herrick (1591–1674)
“I would rather not see such winds subside, which carry your slow ship away, although they leave me, cast down, on an empty shore, often, with clenched hand, calling you cruel.”
—Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)
