CELEBRITY MASTERMIND
7.30PM, SATURDAY, SBS
THE return of this classic quiz show hasn’t exactly brained ‘em in the ratings, but this celebrity special should draw a more deserving audience. Host Jennifer Byrne will test the bizarre specialty subjects of the celebrity contestants, which include Jessica Rowe (on cats), Courtney Act (pictured, on the notoriously nasally
Fran Drescher) and Adam Liaw (on Asian cuisine). Act says her intense interest in all things The Nanny began as a childhood crush back in the ’90s. “I’m still not sure if I wanted her, or wanted to be her ... or maybe it was both,” the former Dancing
With the Stars runner-up says. “She was this fish out of water and I thought she was the epitome of glamour and I loved how she didn’t try and assimilate but rather leaned into her difference and made it a strength. It’s that quintessential ’90’s sitcom that keeps you laughing and smiling and feels like an old friend.”
