For the second season of "Saturday Morning Live" in 1989 the producers decided to expand on the comedy aspect and introduced a cast of comedic performers to work alongside Coleman and Rogerson. The new format was not successful and in mid-1989 the comedy component was dropped and the emphasis on music (in particular live performances) was re-established. To appeal to a younger demographic two young actors from the Seven Network teen drama "Home and Away" were recruited onto the show. Emily Symons and Mat Stevenson co-hosted the new "Saturday Morning Live" as well as presenting occasional location reports.
