Channel Ten has cancelled a popular television show this year, confirming it will not air in 2025.

Improvised comedy program Thank God You’re Here, hosted by Celia Pacquola, won’t grace television screens any time soon.

Despite conflicting reports, the network has confirmed that the much-loved series will not be part of their 2025 lineup.

However, there are hopes Australia’s favourite comedians will return to the program in 2026 and other comedic programs will be airing this year.

‘Our friends at Working Dog [productions] are expert jugglers, but there are only so many hours in a day!’ a Channel Ten spokesperson told TV Blackbox.

‘In addition to producing two of our favourite comedy shows, Have You Been Paying Attention? and The Cheap Seats, Working Dog are also busy with some narrative comedy projects in 2025.

‘The hilarious and much loved series, Thank God You’re Here, won’t air this year, but we hope to welcome back the beloved blue door in 2026’.

Thank God You’re Here debuted back in 2006 and was originally hosted by Shane Bourne and judged by Tom Gleisner.

After a 14-year hiatus, it was revived by Pacquola as host and featured a guest judge each episode.

It comes amid a massive shakeup at the network, including major changes to their news panel show The Project.

Earlier this month, Ten confirmed a beloved member of The Project panel will not be returning to the program in 2025.

Comedian Michael Hing, 39, would no longer be part of the show this year, after he joined the series in 2023 as a co-panellist.

‘For the last two years, we have loved Michael Hing’s quick wit and hosting hijinks as a regular on The Project,’ the network said in a statement.

‘We wish Michael every success for his nationwide stand-up tour and look forward to welcoming him back to the desk between gigs in 2025.’

Hing also confirmed the news on social media, revealing he was now focused on preparing for his upcoming stand-up comedy tour of Australia, which runs from February to July.

His most recent appearance on the long-running series was in mid-November.

The network also revealed that The Project panel would be reduced to three co-panelists on Fridays, commencing from next month.

‘In 2025, The Project is doing Fridays differently! From late February, join Rove McManus, Georgie Tunny and Susie Youssef at The Project desk every Friday night, as the working week wraps up and the weekend fun begins.

‘Expect the same dose of wit, charm and newsy goodness, but with a little more space for those unexpected, spontaneous moments that only a Friday night can bring. It’s the perfect end to the week.’

The network did not reveal the reasons behind why it was reducing its panel, but it may be a cost-cutting measure that coincides with Rove McManus’ pledge to make the Friday episodes less news-focused.

McManus has been involved with The Project since it began in 2009, as he helped create the series through his production company Roving Enterprises, which continues to develop it.

The panel show has also undergone an audience decline ever since changing up its format.

The ratings woes coincide with growing criticism of The Project’s left-wing bias and departures of several high-profile hosts, including Carrie Bickmore, Peter Helliar and Lisa Wilkinson.

The show relaunched in 2023 with a new panel comprising Sarah Harris, Sam Taunton, Michael Hing and long-serving anchor Waleed Aly.
