Tomorrow Tonight is an Australian comedy panel discussion television show hosted by Annabel Crabb, Charlie Pickering and Adam Liaw. The show features a panel of experts and comedians who discuss a hypothetical news story from tomorrow's headlines. Together they try to solve the world's problems before they even happen.[1] [2]
The show premiered on ABC in October 2018, with Crabb and Pickering as co-hosts. After a 3 year absence it was scheduled to return in 2022 but disruptions caused by ongoing COVID-19 restrictions delayed its return to the following year.[3] [4] [5] [6] Adam Liaw joined the cast in 2022.[7]
The show airs several segments throughout the episode to create a hypothetical or fake news story, and in the process raises moral dilemmas that are fictional yet convincing.[8] The hypothetical news story is shown to three guest panellists and permanent panellist Annabel Crabb. The host (Charlie Pickering) holds a neutral position and questions each panellist as to how they will approach the issues raised. The news story gradually unfolds in various segments during the episode and culminates in a humorous potential aftermath featuring one of the guest panellists.[9]
