Splendid. A prank that was funny without hurting anyone. Why can’t more be like that? Well done to Jimmy too, for entering into the spirit.
Yeah Jimmy handled that very well. Kudos to him.
Surprised no one cut him off, fun stuff!
Cut him off? Why would anyone do that? Its a harmless prank. If the expectaion in the states is that anyone stepping outside the boundries should be shut down then thats pretty fkd up.
Jimmy Wales took it really well!
Legend!
Sweeeet comeback
Yeah that’s the problem on state side… they don’t want you to step out of boundaries, as it kinda upsets the apple cart of their speaker(s) /event. There is no room for fun ..its only after /before the event is fun …
That’s some gentle comedy.
The “Chaser” boys get away with an awful lot here in AU - this is some of their lighter work! Incidently, Anthony LaPaglia (Without A Trace) is apparently the only person to answer all 10 questions.
That was great. Jimmy reacted well too.
I was able to meet up with Jimmy Wales while he was on his Australian tour, I was also able to speak to him for and ask him a few questions!

I was at this seminar and heard that Jimmy was pre-warned one of the Chaser guys was in the audience. He’s a professional guy and it didn’t seem to put him off at all.
The chasers are brilliant. You can find more of them here:
