Glenn's two most recent characters are his most popular to date: Russell Coight in All Aussie Adventures (2001-) and Kel Knight in the smash hit Kath and Kim (2002-).
Glenn, by his own admission, was too busy to supervise and too nice to discipline and the situation escalated.
Glenn agrees, "I try to make it so that everyone is having a good time." He pauses, "Or at least so that I am." Most importantly, Glenn is thankful that the transfer to future growth will be with a management team that views growth as opportunity and not as a burden.

Kath (Turner) is a forty-something single lady, who is proud of her home, her figure and her spoilt twenty-something daughter Kim (Riley) who has recently left her husband.
Kel (Robbins) is Kath's new love interest, Sharon (Szubanski), the always injured, sports mad second best friend of Kim, and of course, Brett (Rowsthorn), Kim's sometimes ex-husband.
Jane Turner and Gina Riley are just the best in the title roles and the supporting cast of Robbins (hilarious as a connoisseur of meats always trying to create a new sausage), Szubanski and Rowsthorn bounce extremely well off each other and make the series seem more real than created.
