You're either with us or against us!
The story of how The Chaser team all met is already the stuff of television legend. (If you don’t know the legend, go to Google and type “chaser” “team” and “underground toilet” into the search box.)

In 1987, an ABC comedy producer attended a university revue and was impressed by what he saw. He nurtured the young writer/performers and soon offered them their very own comedy series on the national broadcaster. That series became the D Generation, which proved to bevery influential on The Chaser team who came along years later.

Unlike the D-Gen, the members of The Chaser primarily cut their teeth in print media. Their first venture together was the online web magazine Stoop. Founded in 1989, the website folded after just two weeks since the internet hadn’t yet been invented. They next launched their infamous men’s magazine HGQ, which later turned into FHGQM, which then became a series of letters so unreadable that newsagents refused to stock it.

The team’s breakthrough came in 1998 with the publication of Quarterly Bacon Busters Essay, a monthly periodical which came out weekly in which an pre-eminent Australian intellectual would discuss his love of shooting pigs.

Then came the phone call that would change their lives forever. “Good evening,” the voice on the other end of the line said. “I wonder if you can spare a few minutes to participate in a survey.” Six years on, and that phone call is still going. But somehow between survey questions The Chaser team has managed to produce a string of hit television shows, including the popular children’s quiz show Australia’s Brainiest Non-Asian Kid and the classic North Korean comedy Kath and Kim Jong-Il.

The team has won numerous AFI and Logie Awards, but then so has Shane Bourne, so it’s not really anything to brag about.
