ABC ME launches daily COVID-response show for school-aged kids
ME@Home features an iso gameshow, celebrity guests
and boredom busters from young people across the country
ME@HOME is a 10-minute daily show at 3pm every afternoon on ABC ME, YouTube, iView and the ABC ME app. The viral whip-around features school-aged kids and some fav celebs across the country showing us how they're surviving and thriving in iso (isolation).
Isolation may separate us, but we're all in this together.
Fan favourite Grace Koh hosts the daily whip around the country from her house in isolation. She'll check in with different 'Housemates' reporting from their state/town/loungeroom with hilarious, entertaining segments on how to bust iso-boredom. Think recipes from the back of the pantry, Tik Tok dance lessons, trick shots, and DIY fancy dress from stuff lying around in the garage.
On top of the amazing young people contributing, there are special guest 'Housemates' in the form of well-known superstars. Rove McManus is bringing viewers crazy cartoon ideas to life, Samantha Jade has a boredom buster, GFlip and Tones and I check in, and Julia Zemiro has fast-paced French lessons!
PLUS every Friday, Grace is going to be hosting the brand new iso game show Quiz Mates! ABC ME viewers will dial in to play against their best friends, all from their own loungerooms! The audience can play along at home as contestants compete in a range of ridiculous categories, for the Quarantine Cup.
From the producers:
What is happening in the world is completely unprecedented for us all, especially tweens and teenagers. Commercial channels and social media feeds are completely clogged with news updates – which all in all can be totally overwhelming. We're starting to see a lot of young people take on the anxiety of their families, communities, and government. ME@HOME will be a place for our audience to come together and have a well-earned laugh at some serious silliness.
ME@HOME premieres Monday 20th April at 3pm on ABC ME.
Quiz Mates will air every Friday from 17th April at 3pm on ABC ME.
