Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 18 Oct, 01:32 · Archive
The Snooze Slumber Party, a five-year fixture of Telethon's overnight programming, has concluded with celebrations in bed at RAC Arena.
The Snooze Slumber Party for Telethon has wrapped up with celebratory cake and a giant cheque presentation. Broadcast favourites Famous Sharron and Ben O'Shea each brought out cakes to mark five years of the skit-filled slumber party, which has become a staple of Telethon's overnight programming on Channel 7.
The five-hour event takes place from a bed set inside RAC Arena and is led by O'Shea, who hosts the Perth news podcast Newsworthy during the day, alongside well-known local comedian Famous Sharron. Highlights included a lip sync of KPop Demon Hunters song 'Golden' and the emergence of Flat Tinney, a life-sized cardboard cutout replacement for Matt Tinney, the Channel 7 Sunrise Perth presenter who usually takes part in the slumber party.
O'Shea performed magic tricks during the broadcast, making a cupcake disappear into his magician's hat only for Famous Sharron to snatch it and consume it. The real Tinney made an appearance later in the show as part of another trick.
