After 33 years, Phillip Adams hosts Late Night Live on Radio National for one final time tonight.
Phillip was farewelled at special event at ABC Ultimo yesterday where Managing Director David Anderson and many of his current and former colleagues fondly recounted stories from his remarkable career and paid their respects.
Phillip first hosted Late Night Live in 1991 and his contribution ever since has been nothing short of extraordinary. His trademark wit and incisive commentary has established Late Night Live as the benchmark for sharp analysis of current events and the hottest debates in politics, science, philosophy, and the arts. In over three decades, he has interviewed thousands of guests including Mikhail Gorbachev, Henry Kissinger, and Noam Chomsky to name just a few informing, entertaining, and amusing his dedicated listeners – his’ Gladdies and Poddies’ along the way.
Last Sunday, regular LNL guest Laura Tingle interviewed Phillip about his 33 years on Radio National in studio 22 in front of a live audience and that conversation will be aired tonight as a special final program.
David Marr has been announced as the new Late Night Live host and he commences on Monday July 15.
