After the second and last season of "The Late Show", Cilauro starred as Stix in the 1994 ABC cop show satire "Funky Squad", which he also co-created and served as one of the writer/producer/directors. He went on to help set up the Working Dog production company and was one of the writer/producer/directors of "Frontline" (1994–97), in which he also had a recurring onscreen role as weatherman Geoffrey Salter. Since then, Cilauro co-wrote Working Dog's popular films "The Castle" (1997) and "The Dish" (2000) and appeared as a regular member (and occasional host) of the 1998–2003 Network Ten programme "The Panel".
