| | Graham Kennedy - The Memorable TV Hall of Fame |
 | | He was the king of comedy, the recognised successor to Australia's previous comic king and lord of misrule, Roy Rene (Mo), whose stage had been vaudeville and radio from the 1920s to the late 1940s. |
 | | With In Melbourne Tonight Kennedy brought to and adapted for television Australia's rich history of very risqué music hall, vaudeville, and variety. |
 | | In Melbourne Tonight included musical acts, game segments, burlesques of ads, and sketches, including "The Wilsons." In this segment, perhaps reminiscent of The Honeymooners skit on early 1950s American television, Graham played a dirty old man, married to his Joyce, carnivalising marriage as comic disaster. |
