ha ha, no way... i got those Late Show DVDs and I NEVER spotted him on it! Oh well, I'm going to go through them and check. D-Gen's Late Show was one of the best Aussie comedy shows of that era... it kept my 15 year old self at home on Sat.nights.

The clip with Donnie can be seen on the "Late Show" DVD's that were released a few years ago - along with lots of other "accidental" mistaken guests - such as Dr Harry Cooper instead of Alice Cooper, Rex Hunt instead of T. Rex, Ron Barassi instead of Shirley Bassey etc etc

I used to watch The Late Show every weekend and I can't recall Donnie being on the show. I'll ask him about it next time we cross paths... it would be a great piece to put on my Donnie channel.

Got a great laugh when Donnie Sutherland appeared on the early 1990's ABC series "The Late Show" as the closing guest singer - was meant to be Dame Joan Sutherland, but Mick Molloy invited in the wrong person, as he did every week - and Donnie sang "March of the Toreadors" - GOLD !
