The series was rebooted by the Nine Network, which returned with its eleventh season on 31 May 2016 with new hosts, Australian radio hosts Fitzy & Wippa.[1][2][3] From 2017, the show was hosted by Erin Molan and Dave Thornton.[4][5]

Format

Each episode counts down the "top twenty" events following a particular theme, from position 20 down to number 1. Media clips depicting the event are played as the host provides background information of the entry. This is followed by clips of celebrities providing judgment on the clip or event.

Controversy

During the segment aired on 19 June 2019, co-hosts Erin Molan and Nick Cody stated that the South Korean boy band BTS was "so popular it could heal the rift between North and South Korea."[6] She also mentioned the band's success in the United States, even though "only one band member actually speaks English." among other comments.[6] Many other celebrities made similar comments during the segment. Most notably was comedian Jimmy Carr, who jokingly compared the band's international success to the explosion of a nuclear bomb in North Korea, saying: "When I first heard something Korean had exploded in America, I got worried. So I guess, it could've been worse – but not much worse."[7] Subsequently, the hashtags #channel9apologize and #channel9racist started trending as fans of the band demanded an apology from Channel 9.[8] The BTS Australia Twitter fan account wrote: "This is unfair and presenting inaccurate information. You disregarded their achievements, and instead let your xenophobic, racist mindsets be biased instead. We want an apology."[8] On 20 June 2019, Channel 9 issued an apology, writing: "We apologize to any who may have been offended by last night's episode."[9]
