Claudia Karvan

But also it opens up the people that you deal with at airports, and you don't really, apart from exchanging a smile, think, "Well, what, I wonder what happens in the rest of your day." So you see the baggage handlers, you see the, um, the, the people who are switching the flights around, you see the hosties, and you see this range of situations that they all deal with, not just the chaplain.

And Claudia Karvan is the person who's at the gate checking people in, and she's kind of a senior hostie, and she is brilliant as well.

You, you get to see all of the emotional judgments that are made by a person in that sort of job, dealing with frustrated, stressed, tired, sweaty people, and it's, it's gorgeous for that reason, and also for Hugo Weaving.

It's, um, it's bizarre because I'm re- I'm actually watching double Hugo Weaving at the moment.

Mm

... because I did just go to the Logies and, um, was nominated but lost to the incredible Claudia Karvan, who you've had.

Good person to lose to.

Yeah.

Love that.

Some famous ones like Claudia Karvan, Tim Minchin, Michael Klim, and then others that our audiences really love too, and not famous, like there's a farming couple from Queensland, Gail and Mac Shan.

Gail lost use of both arms in a horrible farming accident many years ago, and we've had them four times on the show over the past couple of decades.

Wow.

And I really love those as well.

I do enjoy the celebrity ones, 'cause you're often seeing a side of the person that you've never seen before.

Like, we had a big reaction when we did Claudia Karvan, 'cause she talked about her brother who's got schizophrenia.

Yeah.
