In the next segment, McDermott introduced the special guest of the week. Occasionally, these were musical guests, such as an interview with Colin Hay from Australian band Men at Work, or a performance from Dein Perry and the Tap Dogs. Mostly, however, they were performers from the circus, burlesque, magician or cabaret industries. Featured guests included Mr. Fish, Shep Huntly, Imogen Kelly, Matt Hollywood, Space Cowboy, Bobbi, Azaria Universe, Legs on the Wall, Paul Capsis and The Wau Wau Sisters. McDermott was often involved in their skits, playing the role of the 'guinea pig'.
