He playeda naughty crab in the movie. It is the biggest movie in America. He is with us tonight. TONIGHT ` CREATING A LASTING LEGACY. RIGHT, I'M GONNA GET CRACKING ON THE THINGS IN LIFE THAT ARE IMPORTANT. MEET THE MUSICIAN THAT WILL GET YOU THINKING ABOUT HOW YOU'RE REMEMBERED. ALSO ` IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL, AND SO TOUCHING. A SPECIAL GIFT THAT'S MORE THAN MADE THESE KIDS' CHRISTMAS. AND ADELE WANTS TO GIVE YOU THE VIP TREATMENT WHEN SHE LANDS IN NZ. THIS ISN'T A PISS-TAKE? NO! PLUS, WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE. E have created a stir with the announcement. People have texted me all day. I am bring it to you suggest that is good news. BEFORE WE GET UNDERWAY TONIGHT, WE'VE GOT A VERY SPECIAL GUEST JOINING US IN STUDIO. JEMAINE CLEMENT'S JUST ARRIVED IN THE BUILDING, AND HE'S IN A LITTLE LATER TO TALK ABOUT THE DISNEY FILM, 'MOANA', He has practised His walk. He doesn't stop at the vending machine. SO, FIRST DAYS CAN BE DAUNTING, CAN'T THEY? BUT TODAY OUR NEW PRIME MINISTER, BILL ENGLISH, SEEMS TO HAVE KEPT HIS NERVES IN CHECK. CAN I SAY HOW EXCITED I AM TO BE LEADING A STRONG TEAM OF MP'S FULL OF IDEAS ABOUT HOW WE CAN MAKE NZ AN EVEN BETTER PLACE TO LIVE, TO WORK AND TO RAISE A FAMILY. NOW, SOME ARE WORRIED BILL DOESN'T HAVE A PULSE, THAT HE MIGHT LACK A BIT OF CHARISMA. BUT WE THINK WE'VE UNCOVERED A HINT OF PERSONALITY THROUGH, OF ALL THINGS, A CALENDAR. HERE'S CAROLYN ROBINSON. DO YOU KNOW WHO THIS PERSON IS? BILL ENGLISH. AND WHAT'S HIS JOB? WELL, HE'S THE NEW PRIME MINISTER OF NZ. HE'S CURRENTLY THE PRIME MINISTER. IT'S, UM, WHATSHISNAME. SOMEONE ENGLISH. IS THIS JOHN KEY? ANDREW LITTLE. IT'S UNFORTUNATELY THE NEW PRIME MINISTER. YES, HE HAS THE TOP JOB NOW, BUT BACK IN 2002, HE WAS A CALENDAR BOY. ENGLISH WAS 40 THEN. THE NATIONAL PARTY SAID THE CALENDAR SHOWED OFF HIS SEX APPEAL. HOW WOULD THE PEOPLE DESCRIBE HIM NOW? # I'M BRINGING SEXY BACK. # UM... OFFICIAL? I DUNNO, A BIT OF A DAD. CONSERVATIVE. INTELLIGENT. SO, 14 YEARS LATER, CAN BILL BRING THE SEXY BACK, AND SHOULD HE? I PAUSED WHEN I SAW DIVING BILL. I PAUSED WHEN I SAW BOXING BILL. AND I THOUGHT, 'AHA, HE BREAKS A SWEAT.' BRAND STRATEGIST JILL BRINSDON SAYS THE NEW PM HAS SOME WORK TO DO. IF A MARKET PLACE ALREADY KNOWS THE BRAND, WHICH THEY DO. IF A MARKETPLACE HAS MADE UP ITS MIND ABOUT THE BRAND, WHICH THEY HAVE, THE ONLY WAY HE'S GONNA GET PEOPLE TO RECONSIDER HIM, IS ACTUALLY TO PLAY A BIT OF A DISRUPTION CAMPAIGN. HE'S GOT TO MAKE US GO, 'I'M RETHINKING BILL ENGLISH.' ENGLISH HAD A DRY RUN IN THE TOP JOB JUST LAST MONTH, INCLUDING PM MEDIA APPEARANCES. ACTING PRIME MINISTER, ONE WOULD SAY, WHILE THE PRIME MINISTER'S OUT OF TOWN. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME THIS MORNING. THANK YOU. IF WE LOOK AT JUSTIN TRUDEAU IN CANADA, HE'S PROB GOT A MORTGAGE ON THE SEXY BRAND, SO MAYBE HE COULD POP UP TO CANADA AND DO A LITTLE BIT OF YOGA WITH JUSTIN AND INSTAGRAM THE BEJESUS OUT OF IT. HE'S THE MAN OF SPREADSHEET, AND WE NEED TO TURN HIM INTO A MAN OF THE PEOPLE. He is slightly disorganised. On Saturday night he was here for the boxing. He needed a nice suit. But he forgot his shoes. But he goes to the warehouse. That might work for him. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT HOW YOU'D LIKE TO BE REMEMBERED? I'M NOT SURE IT'S SOMETHING MOST OF US WOULD GIVE A LOT OF THOUGHT TO, BUT FOR MUSICIAN JONATHAN DENSEM, THE ISSUE IS QUITE PRESSING. YOU SEE, NEARLY A YEAR AGO, HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN CANCER. WITH THE AVERAGE SURVIVAL ABOUT 12 MONTHS, IT COULD HAVE KNOCKED HIM BACK. INSTEAD, IT GAVE HIM RENEWED ENERGY TO LEAVE A MUSICAL LEGACY. HERE'S GILL HIGGINS. (PLAYS SOLEMN TUNE) # YOU'RE EVERYWHERE...# WHEN TIMES ARE HARD, THERE'S NOTHING LIKE MUSIC TO BRING JONATHAN SOME PEACE. OH YES, MY LITTLE DEN OF SPECIAL-DOM. JUST A STEINWAY AND A MICROPHONE. IT'S JUST GORGEOUS. MUSIC ALSO BROUGHT HIM HIS WIFE. IT DID. IT DID. YES, I WAS PLAYING IN THE CHRISTCHURCH SYMPHONY. WE MET AT FIRST REHEARSAL AND MARRIED FIVE MONTHS LATER. # THE LOVE LIVES ON. # READY? TWO, BIG FINISH, GO! (PLAYS FILL, HITS CRASH SYMBOL) AND IT'S A GIFT HE SHARES WITH HIS KIDS. # PSYCHIC SPIES FROM CHINA TRY TO STEAL YOUR MIND'S ELATION. # SO IT'S MUSIC, SPECIFICALLY AN ALBUM, THAT JONNY WANTS TO LEAVE AS THE LEGACY OF HIS LIFE. # SOMEBODY'S DARLING LIES HERE. # IT'S ABOUT A LIFE'S DREAM, REALLY. I'VE BEEN WRITING SONGS FOR 20-SOMETHING YEARS, AND THEN LIFE GETS IN THE WAY. YOU KNOW, KIDS, YOU'VE GOTTA EARN MONEY, TEACHING AND WORKING, AND SUDDENLY YOU GO, 'OH, I'M PUSHING 50 AND I HAVEN'T RECORDED MY MUSIC.' A ONCE FUZZY GOAL BROUGHT SHARPLY INTO FOCUS ON HEARING HE HAD A BRAIN TUMOUR. WELL, I CALL IT THE BIG KAHUNA, BECAUSE BRAIN CANCER IS THE NUMBER ONE KILLER OF PEOPLE UNDER 40 IN NZ. SO WHAT WILL IT MEAN FOR YOU AND THE KIDS TO HAVE THE ALBUM MADE? I THINK IT'S ENORMOUS. I IT'S KNOW SLIGHTLY AWKWARD SITTING NEXT TO HIM, BUT WHAT DOES JONATHAN MEAN TO YOU? SHAKILY: UM, (SIGHS) HE'S EVERYTHING TO ME. HE'S MY, UM, BEST FRIEND AND HE'S MY LOVER AND MY SOUL MATE. THEY'VE CERTAINLY BEEN THROUGH A LOT ` THE BLACK SATURDAY BUSH FIRES IN MELBOURNE. EMMA WAS NINE MONTHS' PREGNANT AT THE TIME AND WENT INTO LABOUR. THEN TO AVOID MORE NATURAL DISASTERS, GUESS WHAT THEY THOUGHT? 'LET'S MOVE TO CANTERBURY IN 2010, 'BECAUSE THAT'LL BE A GOOD IDEA.' (CHUCKLES) JUST IN TIME FOR THE EARTHQUAKES. I HAD A TEACHING STUDIO IN THE ARTS CENTRE IN CHRISTCHURCH WHICH WAS BADLY DAMAGED. YOU JUST LIFTED YOUR CHIN AGAIN. WE'LL MAKE A SINGING TEACHER OF YOU YET. NOW DESPITE A NEW TEACHING STUDIO AND A NEW HOME, THEIR LIVES HAVE AGAIN BEEN SHAKEN TO THE CORE. BUT AS ALWAYS, THIS CLOSE-KNIT FAMILY HAVE HOPE. WELL, THE DOCTOR'S SAYING THE AVERAGE IN MY CASE IS A YEAR. BUT EVEN MY DOCTOR SAID I'M NOT AVERAGE. HOW THINK THE ALBUM'S ACTUALLY HELPING YOU? EVERYTHING I'VE READ ABOUT LONG-TERM SURVIVAL TALKS ABOUT HAVING SOMETHING NOT JUST TO LIVE FOR, BUT TO STRIVE FOR, TO CREATE THAT IS REALLY CLOSE TO YOUR HEART AND CLOSE TO THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT YOU'VE GOT, AND FOR ME, THAT'S FAMILY AND MUSIC. THERE WAS A SLIGHT PROBLEM ` ALBUMS ARE SO EXPENSIVE. BUT THERE WAS ALSO A SOLUTION ` PEOPLE'S INCREDIBLE KINDNESS; AMONG THEM, THE TEAM AT ROUNDHEAD STUDIOS. I'M JUST AMAZED HE'S NOT RECORDED BEFORE. I WANTED TO MAKE A RECORD THAT WAS LIKE I'D APPROACH ANY OTHER RECORD, YOU KNOW? BUT OCCASIONALLY, YOU REALISE, SORT OF, WHAT A LEGACY IT IS FOR HIM. PEOPLE HAVE JUST REACHED INTO EITHER THEIR POCKET OR THEIR TIME BOOK OR THEIR SPACE. IT'S JUST BEEN ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL. I'M READY. (PLAYS REFLECTIVE INTRO) AND WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE WHEN YOU'VE ACTUALLY GOT THAT CD, OR WHATEVER THEY HAVE NOW, IN YOUR HANDS? IT'LL JUST FEEL LIKE 17 CHRISTMASES AT ONCE. # THE LOVE LIVES ON. # Brilliant. Fter that is all sorted he will write a musical. Ne day they'll be able to measure what aspiration does or healing. It's that positive attitude. They have a give a little page. LAST MONTH WE INTRODUCED YOU TO THE KIDS AT VISCOUNT SCHOOL, WHO WERE ALL MAD ABOUT THE VIOLIN. WELL, TONIGHT THEY GET A VERY SPECIAL DELIVERY. OH, THEY'LL BE CHUFFED. PLUS JEMAINE CLEMENT JOIN US IN STUDIO TO TALK ABOUT HIS LATEST PROJECT, 'MOANA'. AND, OH, HOW THE MIGHTY HAVE FALLEN. THERE WERE SACRED ROCKS, AND YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SIT ON THEM. MORE ON JENNIFER LAWRENCE'S OUTRAGEOUS COMMENTS SHORTLY. ALSO TO SOMETHING THAT'S OUTRAGED MANY, INCLUDING ME, TODAY. CAN YOU SPOT WHAT'S WRONG WITH THIS HEADLINE? AND IF YOU MISSED OUT ON ADELE TICKETS, WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YOU NEXT.

All proceeds go to St John to help buy a real ambulance. ADELE'S 'WHEN WE WERE YOUNG' # YOU LOOK LIKE A MOVIE. # YOU SOUND LIKE A SONG. # MY GOD, THIS REMINDS ME # OF WHEN WE WERE YOUNG. We have been hyping this up. Ou have. You went on social media. And with the nation into a frenzy. IF YOU'RE ONE OF THE MANY KIWIS WHO MISSED OUT ON ADELE TICKETS, WE HAVE AN EXCLUSIVE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR YOU. GIVEN THE MASSIVE RESPONSE TO HER THREE NZ SHOWS, ADELE WANTS MORE OF YOU TO ENJOY THEM. SO MT SMART STADIUM IS ADDING A TEMPORARY GRANDSTAND ON THE NORTH BANK WHICH WILL ADD ABOUT 5000 ADDITIONAL TICKETS PER SHOW. THOSE TICKETS ARE ON SALE AT 9AM TOMORROW. Cue hysteria eople won't want to miss out. NOW, IF THAT HASN'T TIPPED YOU OVER THE EDGE WITH EXCITEMENT, THIS CERTAINLY WILL ` TONIGHT WE HAVE A BIG GIVEAWAY.

WRITE THAT DOWN AND THEN WAIT TO COLLECT THE NEXT THREE CLUES. WE'LL GIVE YOU INSTRUCTIONS ON THURSDAY NIGHT ABOUT HOW TO ENTER. ADELE MIGHT BE ON FIRE RIGHT NOW, BUT JENNIFER LAWRENCE NOT SO MUCH. THESE COMMENTS ON THE GRAHAM NORTON SHOW HAVE GOT HER INTO HOT WATER. THERE WERE SACRED ROCKS, AND YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SIT ON THEM BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO EXPOSE YOUR GENITALIA TO THEM. OH MY GOD, THEY WERE SO GOOD FOR BUTT ITCHIN'. LAUGHTER I'D JUST BE LIKE, 'OOOHHH!' LAUGHTER OUTRAGE ENSUED, FORCING JEN TO PUBLICALLY APOLOGISE. SHE POSTED THIS MESSAGE ON HER FACEBOOK PAGE, SAYING SHE MEANT NO DISRESPECT. SHE WAS TRYING TO BE SELF DEPRECATING, BUT SHE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT WASN'T FUNNY. There was something to do with a curse nd you are not meant to touch the rock, and she said that she was the curse. Eople love her of her honesty, but she went too far. Nothing an apology can't fix. So we can say anything? As long as is genuine. Did she do it on social media? Hat else would she do? TO SOMETHING THAT REALLY GOT MY BLOOD BOILING TODAY ` LOOK AT THIS HEADLINE ON THE DAILY MAIL ABOUT AUSTRALIAN TV PRESENTER SAM ARMYTAGE. SHE HOSTS 'SUNRISE' OVER THERE. THEY'VE MADE A STORY OUT OF HER UNDERWEAR, OR AS THEY PUT IT, 'GIANT GRANNY PANTIES', THAT SHE'S WEARING TO THE SUPERMARKET. YOU'VE GOTTA FEEL FOR HER. SHE REGULARLY COPS IT, AND THIS TIME THEY'VE STALKED HER OUT GROCERY SHOPPING, THEN MADE FUN OF HER, IN A VERY PUBLIC AND MEAN-SPIRITED WAY. SAM HASN'T COMMENTED ON THE ARTICLE, BUT HEAPS OF HER FANS HAVE SLAMMED THE WEBSITE. What do you make of it? I don't get worked up for that. It is click bait. And we might have walked into what they want. Yes you want people to talk about it. Wwhat else are you supposed to wear to the supermarket? I feel sorry for her. They regularly insult her ffor not having a partner. SO FROM CULTURAL INSENSITIVITY AND CLICK BAIT TO SOMETHING MORE REFRESHING AND UPLIFTING. YOU'LL REMEMBER THE MAD KEEN VIOLINISTS OF VISCOUNT SCHOOL IN MANGERE AND THE FACT THAT THE CLASSIC INSTRUMENT'S POPULARITY WAS OUTSTRETCHING THE SCHOOLS STOCKS. MICHAEL HOLLAND HAS A SPECIAL UPDATE. THE BOXES HAVE BEEN GATHERING IN A BACKROOM, WAITING FOR CHRISTMAS TO GET A LITTLE CLOSER. IT'S LIKE 100% COOL. I'M SPEECHLESS. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND SO TOUCHING. THE ULTIMATE GIFT AS THE GOBSMACKED FACES HERE AT VISCOUNT SCHOOL SHOW. IT'S LIKE PRETTY, BEAUTIFUL AND SPECTACULAR. IT'S VERY PRECIOUS, AND IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE. THESE VIOLIN VIRTUOSOS-IN-THE-MAKING ` A WHOOPING 82 OF THEM ` NO LONGER HAVING TO SHARE INSTRUMENTS, ONE BETWEEN THREE AFTER YOU, OUR SEVEN SHARP VIEWERS, CLEARLY BOUGHT INTO THEIR MUSICAL ENTHUSIASM. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THE VIOLIN TO MY EARS IT LIKE SAID, 'COME AND PLAY ME.' THAT SENTIMENT SWEET AND TUNEFUL TO PEOPLE LIKE MURRAY LENNOX, HAPPILY PARTING WITH 20 VIOLINS AFTER A CAREER SPENT IN MUSIC EDUCATION. FOR A SCHOOL TO HAVE KIDS LINING UP TO LEARN THE VIOLIN IS ABSOLUTELY MIND-BLOWING. SO WHAT SIZE IS THAT? A QUARTER. A WEENIE ONE? YES. WHICH IS KINDA APPROPRIATE BECAUSE YOUR NAME IS? WEENIE. I GOT A CELLO, AND I THINK IT'S PHENOMENAL. I WANT TO SHOW ALL THE WORLD THAT WE KNOW HOW TO PLAY ALL THE VIOLINS. WHEN THEY ARE CONCENTRATING ON THE VIOLIN AND THEY ARE PLAYING THEIR PIECE, THEY LOOK QUITE SERIOUS, BUT WHEN THEY HAVE FINISHED THEIR PIECE, THEY ARE LIKE, 'OH YEAH, THAT'S IT. I DID IT!' ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT TO CHANGE THAT FOR A BIGGER ONE? NO. NO. ALL: THANK YOU, NZ! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE HAPPY VISCOUNT VIOLINISTS. YAY! Fantastic. Hey need over 100. Member of my family is learning. And it is a skill just to hold it. Do you just pick one up now and again? I should send you out to the school.

REMEMBER, IF YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO COULD BENEFIT FROM AN ASB GOOD AS GOLD CHRISTMAS SURPRISE, GO TO OUR FACEBOOK PAGE. WE'RE GIVING AWAY SOMETHING EVERY NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS! IF YOU'VE GOT KIDS, YOU'LL HAVE WATCHED THE MOVIE 'FROZEN'. BUT A NEW FILM'S BEING TIPPED TO EXCEED FROZEN'S SUCCESS. COMING UP ` I KNOW. NOT EVERY DAY DO YOU GET A CHANCE TO MEET YOUR HERO. YOU ARE NOT MY HERO! ONE OF THE FILM'S STARS, JEMAINE CLEMENT, IS LIVE IN STUDIO NEXT. He is really lucky because he gets our first Christmas video. Doesn't it feel like Christmas? It does. WHO DOESN'T LOVE A DISNEY MOVIE? ANIMATION HAS NEVER BEEN HOTTER. THE FRIENDSHIPS THAT GO TO INFINITY AND BEYOND, OR A SIMPLE MESSAGE OF PERSERVERENCE, JUST KEEP SWIMMING. THESE ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN JUST MOVIES. IN MY HOUSE, IT'S THE SISTERLY LOVE OF ANNA AND ELSA, OR NEMO AND DORY. BUT COME BOXING DAY, THERE'LL BE A NEW DISNEY OBSESSION, AND IT'S ONE WITH A DISTINCTLY KIWI FLAVOUR. IT'S MAUI TIME! YOU ARE THE FUTURE OF OUR PEOPLE, MOANA. IT'S REALLY AMAZING HOW DEEPLY MOANA IS ROOTED IN POLYNESIAN CULTURE. WE'RE SHOWCASING THE PACIFIC ISLANDS ON SCREEN IN A REALLY FANTASTIC WAY. CHAHOO! I AM STILL FALLING! THE TEAM HAVE DONE SUCH A TERRIFIC JOB COLLABORATING WITH PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE PACIFIC. IT'S REALLY EXCITING TO BE IN A POLYNESIAN FILM. I'M MAORI MYSELF. THERE'S NOT BEEN A THING LIKE THIS BEFORE. UPBEAT POLYNESIAN TUNE IT'S SPECTACULAR. ONE OF THE KIWI STARS OF MOANA, JEMAINE CLEMENT, IS WITH US NOW. Star is a big word. Among a galaxy. My character wasn't even in that video. It's quality not quantity. So you are a crab? Are very large one. And singing? COrrect. Did singing freak you out? I am used to it, but the music was roper a Broadway music. Did you have special training? That would have been a good idea. He said ake it your own. You are little room aand they are telling you what to do and you have to bring it to life. They go to a lot of effort nd put up pictures of your character they show little videos of concepts that they have. You don't act with the other cast, which is weird at first. I think it is hard to organise. And you do so many versions over many different takes n alternate lines. I you allowed to bring it to life? And bring your own to let? Es, but they don't have to use it. And I will see it for the first time when I see the movie. Number one for three weeks in America. I feel fine about it. It is safe. It doesn't need me to help it. You channel David Bowie with this? The writer of the song suggested that. There was no Ouija board to channel Him. T was just a rough impersonation. Ood luck with it tomorrow. So the stars don't actually watch the movie? Ometimes they don't. But I will watch this one. Merry Christmas. I look forward to watching this with my children. 6PM CAPTIONS BY JUNE YEOW AND JEAN TENG. CAPTIONS BY ANTONY VLUG AND JAKE EBDALE. CAPTIONS WERE MADE POSSIBLE WITH FUNDING FROM NZ ON AIR.
