McDermott closed the show by predicting the major events of the week ahead in a format similar to his closing monologue on "Good News Week". The show always concluded with a musical performance. Most weeks McDermott sang, sometimes backed by Tripod. Other performers included Tim Minchin, Eddie Perfect, The Kransky Sisters and Colin Hay. When the song ended McDermott, Tripod and the house band lead an "all-in" rendition of the show's theme song to accompany the closing credits, while the show's regulars and guests emerged on the balcony to sing and dance along.
