Im from Australia and i was wondering if you have thank god your here, our version or you own.
When i say our version i mean the one with Shane Bourne as host and Tom Gleisner as judge.

We don't have the Australian version of "Thank God You're Here", at least not to my knowledge. However, I have been seeing commercials lately for an American version of "Thank God You're Here".

The show is really funny in my opinion, hope you like your version of it.

I read somewhere that the rights to do their own version of the show have been sold to either the US or Canada, and also to a small European country. I can't remember exactly which one it is but Sweden and/or Norway come to mind. So yeah, TGYH will likely be shown in the States, but likely not the Shane Bourne / Tom Gleisner version.

Yeah, we have it here in Sweden.

It's incredibly entertaining! :D
Best show in ages...

From what I hear, the good folks in the US of A love it!! Isn't it gem of a show. We love it down here. Refreshing change from the reality/eviction shows.

And the creators are well known in Oz, plus all the guests. The good thing is that they can't just throw anyone on the show. The pick the guests extremely well!!

The american version was cancelled after 6 episodes. It ran from April->May 2007 on NBC. The chief problem was they decided to put on mostly actors rather than comedians. Actors in general aren't funny. So Tom Green destroyed a set (yawn) jason alexander did his Seinfeld George, and it died unfortunately.
