Twenty Team Members Announced For Andrew Denton’s Randling

Word based Andrew Denton game show Randling has just named the twenty celebrity contestants who will “slug it out on the greatest battleground of all: words,”. Chosen for their “competitiveness, their looks, and their ability to “talk good”” contestants range from TV regulars like Kitchen Cabinet host Annabel Crabb, The Chaser’s Chris Taylor, First Tuesday Book Club host Jennifer Byrne and Rockwiz host Julia Zemiro, comedians Dave O’Neil, Merrick Watts and Felicity Ward and televisual newcomers like Brisbane scribe Benjamin Law and Director of The Wheeler Centre, Michael Williams. Not sure how twenty intelligent/opinionated Aussies will co-exist on the same set but if you’d like to find out you can still apply to be part of the studio audience. Check out the full list below…
