John Safran vs God SBS TV Mondays 8.30pm

The pre-publicity suggests regular fans will not be disappointed with John Safran's latest project. An exploration for God through various traditional and not so traditional paths!! In the first episode John attempts to get a fatwa against Rove McManus [OZ TV Chat Show Host who steals all his lame ideas from 'Hey Hey Its Saturday' or David Lettermans 'Late Show' dragging Peter Heliar and Corinne Grant down with him]...

Safran is irreverent and rude at his best so if you are easily offended or don't think satire and ridicule are valid forms of exploration or take yourself and God way too seriously then this program is not for you!!

My favourite Safran moments from the past include: the stoush with "A Current Affair" host Ray Martin while rifling through his rubbish bin; his Disney expose AND streak through an Isreali city/playing kick to kick between Israel and Palestine... both for 'Race Around the World'
