History

The Paul Henry Show

The Paul Henry Show premiered on 27 January 2014 from 10:35 p.m. to 11:15 p.m. with Paul Henry as the show's host, and Janika ter Ellen as the news anchor, with Fiona McMillan as the show's executive producer. Labour Party leader David Cunliffe and Prime Minister John Key were both interviewed on the episode.

Henry kicked off the interview with Cunliffe by stating "I'd never vote for you", and teased Cunliffe on his misspelling of Lorde on Twitter, as Cunliffe spelt it as "Lord" when he tweeted congratulating her on her Grammy Awards. [3] Key only managed to name three native New Zealand birds in the '9 in 10' challenge, where participants have to answer a question with 9 answers in 10 seconds. Henry asked Key to name native New Zealand birds, with Key naming tūī, kiwi, kākāpō, and "some kind of pigeon". [4]

At the end of 2014 an announcement was made that Paul Henry will move to presenting a morning news show and as a result this marked the end for The Paul Henry Show. The final show aired on 19 December 2014. The replacement evening show called Newsworthy replaced the late night show. [5]
