Stan Zemanek fights with and throws book at Jan Murray on "Beauty and the Beast" (2001)

I just had to upload this. Does anyone remember this show? "Beast" Stan Zemanek is offended and goes at it with Jan Murray over country issues. Features the infamous "book-throwing" incident and classic quotes from both. From 2001.

I clearly remember thie episode!!! Stan and Jan were like "water and oil" & "cats and dogs"!!! Having said that, I liked both Stan & Jan. I really miss this show!!! Some say it was time killing daytime show, but it was absoulutely funny!!!

@christiangoin2temple Great comment, I agree! I really liked them both as well.

The guy was an absolute arrogant c*** of a man, who believed he was better than everyone else. He forgot all about respecting his fellow human beings simply because he became somewhat famous and wealthy. He seemed to forget that one small twist of fate and his entire arrogant existence came tumbling down. Arrogance and thinking you're above others is such a disgusting quality in a mortal. DEATH is waiting!

@stardust260872 Does anyone know anything anymore?! He acted this way for the RATINGS. The producers demanded it and the public THRIVED on it. Despite many people not liking him because of his "public persona", his popularity and fans were far, far greater in numbers.

This show was ahead of its time! The yanks stole Stan Zemaneks schtick and created Bill o Reilly

@frostytheaussie as I said, would love to hear his views on this new brand of socialism we are calling the carbon tax :) let me guess you are one of the few people that think putting taxes on something that people are already required to have LBL's on is going to save the world?

[frostytheaussie]

@Veksta why? there's enough ignorant, rude, right-wing opinionists out there in the mediascape already? why not just watch price or bolt or macsween?

[frostytheaussie]

let the woman talk! who does he think, bill o'reilly?

This guy was such a wanker....glad he's off the landscape...but then we have Carl now....he was a nicer version of Carl...

[Veksta]

@DonaldTaft Seriosuly why can't we have good Australian shows on TV lke this today, all you get now are those stupid american biitches that talk shit about stuff we can't relate to here

@wintercherry100 Incorrect. He was a Bill O'Reilly character. Australia is a richer nation through his death

Zemanik was a scumbag and so was that racist pygmy Howard

Whoever is saying it was a 'time killing' show needs to get their facts right. From what I remember the show was produced by Foxtel and therefore kinda cheap for one of the Free to Air Networks like TEN to purchase. Either way this show helped TEN constantly win daytime ratings..
