tickets available here<\/a>.<\/p>\nNikki, your character Bushie has no filter and makes outrageous comments to the celebrity guests. Have any stars been annoyed or offended by something Bushie has said?<\/p>\n
Yes. There was one time a particular guest, who I won\u2019t name, got up and walked out after the first joke. <\/p>\n
We did coax him back in, and he said, \u201cyou can\u2019t say that!\u201d I said, \u201cOK, that\u2019s fair, we\u2019ll take that out,\u201d and then he decided to stay and have a bit of a play.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s weird is I landed so many more harsher jokes on him after that and they didn\u2019t seem to bother him.<\/p>\n
Can you give me a clue as to who that was?<\/p>\n
Someone who has been in TV for a very long time, that\u2019s all I can say.<\/p>\n
I assume you\u2019re pretty hands on with the edit of each episode. Do you ever watch the footage back and think, \u201cwow, I can\u2019t believe I actually said that!\u201d<\/p>\n
Definitely. There\u2019s a lot of butt-clenching moments when going through the edits, and I often think, \u201ccan we even put this out to the public?\u201d<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got an Annie Knight (OnlyFans creator) episode coming out next week and I\u2019m editing it at the moment, and I\u2019m like, \u201cwhere is the line?\u201d <\/p>\n
It\u2019s all funny, but the content we\u2019re covering is so outrageous.<\/p>\n
Do you feel like you can get away with more because you\u2019re playing a character?<\/p>\n
Oh yes. I\u2019ve got to be really careful when I\u2019m Nikki Osborne, but Bush Barbie (the character\u2019s nickname) can get away with anything.<\/p>\n
I mean who is going to take Bush Barbie to court, aside from Mattel?<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve met so many celebs through Bush Deep and your TV and radio career. Who has been your favourite?<\/p>\n
My favourite person is Larry Emdur. The whole episode I did with him I was trying to find a chink in his armour, but he\u2019s just genuinely nice. <\/p>\n
He\u2019s become a great friend and now regularly calls to check up on me and will send me a bottle of his Ben Buckler whisky if he can see I\u2019ve had a bad week.<\/p>\n
On the flip side, has there been a celebrity you didn\u2019t enjoy meeting?<\/p>\n
I haven\u2019t had anyone be a total arse. I have had people in bad moods though.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve got a good episode with Colin Fassnidge coming out.<\/p>\n
He came in and he was tired and over it, and then we got on the sauce and just ended up ribbing each other.<\/p>\n
There were moments where I was like, \u201care we fighting?\u201d He\u2019s Irish, so it\u2019s kind of hard to tell.<\/p>\n
Who is on your interview wish list?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m definitely chasing a Hemsworth. <\/p>\n
Any of the three Hemsworths?<\/p>\n
Well, we all know there\u2019s a ranking order, and I\u2019m not going to say it.<\/p>\n
We\u2019re also starting to reach out to people overseas like Will Ferrell and Theo Von.<\/p>\n
What can you tell me about this EveryPlate Dinner Roast comedy event at Sydney\u2019s Potts Point Hotel on June 18?<\/p>\n
There\u2019s going to be a very good line-up of comedians and we\u2019re going to rip the piss out of over-the-top foodie culture, like \u2018wienermaxxing\u2019.<\/p>\n
Excuse me?<\/p>\n
It sounds like a Viagra product, doesn\u2019t it? But no, it\u2019s a dish that you put in your mouth, but you have to spend hours cooking it. It\u2019s like a really bad dagwood dog.<\/p>\n
Anyone can buy tickets to this event, right?<\/p>\n
Yep, anyone can book a spot<\/a>, and honestly, it\u2019s priced way too cheaply. I think it\u2019s $22.50 and that includes a three-course meal.<\/p>\nI\u2019ve told EveryPlate, \u201cwhy are you doing this? You should be charging $100!\u201d They\u2019re crazy.<\/p>\n
You\u2019ve convinced me. I\u2019ll be there. Thanks Nikki!<\/p>\n
Thank you.<\/p>\n
