A mortified Chrissie Swan confessed that it was too late to cancel her appearance on The Project, so she had to deal with a very obvious problem.
Chrissie Swan found herself in the worst nightmare of all TV presenters on Monday night as she faced off to present an hour of live TV on The Project: she had completely lost her voice after partying at the Logie Awards.
“How was your night, Chrissie? How were you?” Project asked co-presenter Waleed Aly at the top of the episode as the panel compared Logies’ stories.
“Look, full revelation …” Swan squeaked, while the rest of the panel burst out laughing.
“Whenever I have fun, I usually lose my voice. I thought I’d come out with his – I did the radio show for breakfast this morning – and then it stopped working. “
Aly explained that it was quite late in the day, so the show couldn’t find a replacement for Swan.
“I called on the god of The project around 2 p.m., and he said, “We’ll probably have a problem here,” Swan said. “But we’ll make it.”
For Swan, there was not much else to do for the rest of the hour, but to smile and nod as his three colleagues discussed the news of the day.
And they could not withstand a few blatant excavations at their expense. After a pack of Logies highlights was aired, Waleed Aly asked her co-presenter, “Anything to add, Chrissie? No? Well, it’s a shame.”
A frustrated-looking swan buried his head in his hands.
Swan, who stopped drinking last year during his well-documented health kick, also wanted to make it clear that his condition was not due to too many drinks, but too much “shouting and laughing” at the event.
Swan was undoubtedly a highlight of the Sunday Night Lodges with a full unfilled appearance presenting an award alongside today’s host Karl Stefanovic.
Like the cast of At Home And Far he stayed on stage after accepting the last prize, shouting in his direction, “Irene … go back to the cafeteria.”
I had a joke for all the nominees in the most popular lifestyle program category: Lifeguards Bondi rescue made her want to “unlearn to swim,” while wishing the host of Love it or list it “Come to my house and tell me how disgusting and unlivable it is.
But he kept his best burn for his co-presenter.
“jo he came to the rehearsal, then jo do the honors, “he said bluntly when it was time to open the envelope and announce the winner: a blow that provoked the crowd’s tantrums and a timid explanation from Stefanovic.
It was a great Logies night The project team, with the program winning the Most Popular News Program and Lisa Wilkinson accepting the award for Most Outstanding News Coverage or Public Affairs Report for her interview with Brittany Higgins.
