No Leave, No Life is an Australian lifestyle television series, hosted by Ernie Dingo in season 1, James Tobin in season 2 and Tim Ross in its third season. The program features a celebrity guest presenter each week surprising ordinary Australians with a holiday, and the destination is then profiled. Another celebrity, often a comedian, then fills in for them at their work while they are away.[1] The title of the show, "no leave, no life" was an Australian tourism campaign slogan.
The program premiered during the summer non-ratings period on Saturday 5 December 2009 at 6:30pm. The program returned for a second season on 4 December 2010 with James Tobin as the new host.[2] In June 2011, Seven were casting for seven people to feature in a third season of the program. It was also announced Tim Ross would become the new host for the seven-episode run, which began on 3 December 2011 in its traditional Saturday 6:30pm timeslot.
