Who would have thought Aussies could sell anything to the world's most advanced television economy ? Well while Little Lohan is entering rehab; Keith urban gets out; Kate turns 33... Americans are getting "Thank God You're Here" TV show developed by the Melbourneite Working Dog crew, who look like they may get royalty retirement here, assuming the Mike Moore DVD series hasn't aleady put them on a Portsea Clifftop.

TVGasm : "Celebrity contestants get a costume and a prop and enter an improv scene that's already in progress. The celeb is greeted with the words "Thank God you're here," and the hilarity of improv ensues. David Alan Grier from In Living Color hosts the new version. One time comedy king contender and poker show host Dave Foley judges the performers. The pilot featured Christopher Guest movie vet Jennifer Coolidge, Bryan Cranston from Malcolm in the Middle, Wayne Knight from Seinfeld and Joel McHale from The Soup (Joel McHale from The Soup?).. Question: Will TV stations in the Southern United States air a comedy show with the word "God" in the title? Seriously."

Wonderland Rehab Centre : "Nice to meet you Lindsay, Thank God You're Here.."
