==Cast members== The roles of other members of the Chaser team included: * [[Charles Firth (comedian)|Charles Firth]]: played a hard-hitting reporter with highly-controversial opinions presented in segments called ''The Firth Factor'', ''The Firth Report'' and ''Firth and Friends'' in which he abuses his guests, doing such things as gagging them and yelling in their face. The character could be interpreted as a parody of [[Bill O'Reilly (commentator)|Bill O'Reilly]], who hosts a program on [[Fox News Channel]] called the [[O'Reilly Factor]], as well as [[Fox and Friends]]. An example of his hard hitting style, "100% of kids who smoke and have their brain removed, end up DEAD!" * [[Andrew Hansen]]: the leader of the ''CNNNN'' "newsband", which would play musical commentary for some stories, and occasionally lyrically interact with the other members of the cast as if actually talking to them. He was also Rudi J Blass, the director of Newstainment, who would create game shows and entertainment pieces based around big news stories: "They say comedy equals tragedy plus time, well I say game show equals tragedy plus now'." Rudi J Blass often appeared in a studio very similar to that of Larry King Live and would commentate on news stories. Hansen was also Simon Target, a reporter with a thick English accent. In season one, the show started at the end of one of Simon Target's reports. * [[Julian Morrow]]: ''CNNNN'''s US correspondent. Morrow would appear on a television as if he were overseas, although he did actually conduct a number of [[vox pop]]s in the US to highlight American ignorance of Australia, other countries and international affairs in general. He would, amusingly, still speak about stories with no relevance to the US and sit as if he were actually on the [[news desk]], and when the anchors would look at the screen on the other side of the room at other out-of-studio guests, Julian Morrow would do the same. In one episode he actually comes out of the television into the studio after Chris Taylor turns the screen he appears on off. * [[Chas Licciardello]]: hosted ''Lameass'', a parody of MTV's ''[[Jackass (TV series)|Jackass]]'', with intentionally bad stunts. He also appeared as "Mongoose" in the Sky Chaser 8 news helicopter, as the producer of a new game show (allegedly meant to be "[[The Block (Australian TV series)|The Block]]" as a musical) and as a reporter of his own name, occasionally. In the first season, he was CNNNN's [[Brussels]] correspondent and whenever the anchors would cross to Brussels, a "technical problem", like Chas having a python wrapped around him or his severed head on the desk in front of him, would cut Chas off before he could even say anything, leading Reucassel to say, "Sorry, we seem to have a technical problem there in Brussels." * [[Dominic Knight]]: former weatherman, now a reporter. * [[Anna Skellern]]: correspondent.
