    When it all comes full circle with Ivan Aristeguieta and Rove McManus

    These days, Ivan Aristeguieta is a beloved award-winning comedian, but 20 years ago, he was just a budding Venezuelan comedian who became obsessed with watching clips from Rove Live, hosted by Rove McManus. Years later, Ivan found himself on a reboot on Rove's show, and they're here today to tell the tale. In this episode, the pair discuss the trials and tribulations of live TV gigs, how to maintain community over competition, and why Australian comedians are so nice.
