Season 3

Loyiso Gola, the anchor of Late Nite News, and his team of comedians return for a brand-spanking new season.

Season 3 plans on leaving viewers in stitches by exposing the usual embarrassing moments in South African politics and "taking the mickey" out of local and international current affairs by putting their own comedic spin on newsworthy stories.

The new season promises viewers a high dose of comedic entertainment as the usual characters return and a few new ones are introduced.

The show picks up where it left off, scrutinising the news and exposing any holes in a current affairs story. Viewers can expect to see the same mix of rib-tickling and subversive sketch, improvised, interactive and pre-packaged comedy.

The regular cast of Loyiso Gola, David Kibuuka and Riaad Moosa, with the recent inclusion of the character Chester, combine to form a comedic recipe that promises laughter and tears.

The international news report is done by David Kibuuka - who travels extensively on the show, yet has found himself in very few places that are not "shit" - the considered second opinion of the resident Doctor Moosa and the cantankerous political analyses and insults of Chester Missing bring a new bag of tricks to the fore.

The new season will feature guest stars in the form of some of the country's most accomplished comedians and also introduce some of the up and coming talent to television.

Viewers can look forward to Loyiso Gola conducting guest interview segments in each show with guest comedians live in studio.

South Africa's outspoken, unadulterated, unapologetic comedic commentary news show is back with a bang.

About the Show

True journalism relies on facts and verified information. Late Nite News (LNN) relies purely on speculation and, most times, absurd hearsay.

Late Nite News has a formal look about it and features comedians as "Field Reporters", including Riaad Moosa, David Kibuuka, Chester Missing and Jason Cope.

The show follows a professional structure and is set in a formal news studio, but the latest news is interspersed with non-stop tongue-in-cheek one-liners offering viewers a comedic take on current political and international stories.

Late Nite News anchor Loyiso Gola is known for his no-holds-barred comedy and throws into the Late Nite News mix political and social interviews with various guests.

Loyiso's approach is towards guests is confrontational and aggressive. He blows stories completely out of proportion and creates a comedy vibe.

Each episode is concluded with a "Morale Index", narrated by Loyiso. Using an animated graphic interface, this segment measures the country's milestones and failures in the week using a graph diagram.
