''Jono and Ben'', previously titled ''Jono and Ben at Ten'', is a satirical news and entertainment show hosted by Jono Pryor and Ben Boyce. The show currently airs on TV3 on Friday nights at 7:30 pm. The show combines pre-filmed sketches, pranks and parodies, linked together by segments filmed in front of a small studio audience. A third presenter, Guy Williams sits in a chair to the right of the stage and provides comic foil for the hosts. In 2015 the show moved from 10pm to 7:30pm and was extended to run for an hour; due to the timeslot change, the show was renamed ''Jono and Ben''. Jono and Ben also host a radio show on The Rock between 3pm and 7pm weekdays. ==Show history== The show began in 2012, bringing together presenters from two previous TV3 shows. Jono Pryor was previously the host of ''The Jono Project'', which ran from 2008-2011, while Ben Boyce was one half of the popular long running series ''Pulp Sport'' and his own series, ''WANNA-BEn''. ''Jono and Ben at Ten'' combines elements from both hosts' former shows, including the topical media satire of ''The Jono Project'' and hidden camera stunts involving the public that ''Pulp Sport'' was famous for. While the show is hosted by and named after, Jono Pryor and Ben Boyce, Guy Williams has been the third chair since the beginning (having crossed from The Jono Project to Jono and Ben at Ten). Series two saw him move from being credited as a guest appearance to co-host. In November 2013, Jono and Ben announced they will have a second co-host, comedian and former children's show presenter, Rose Matafeo. The Series One finale, which aired 30 November 2012, was a double length episode and aired at the earlier time of 9.30PM. ''Jono and Ben at Ten'' quickly became a top rating show for TV3. New Zealand Herald TV blogger Paul Casserly named it in his Top 5 Comedies of 2012,〔http://www.nzherald.co.nz/entertainment/news/article.cfm?c_id=1501119&objectid=10852299〕 while stuff.co.nz reviewer Chris Philpot named the show in his Top 10 shows of 2012.〔http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/blogs/on-the-box/8100592/The-Best-TV-of-2012〕 ''Jono and Ben at Ten'' was also nominated for Best Comedy Show in the TV Guide Best On The Box Awards. Pryor and Boyce were also nominated for the Funniest Person on TV. On 13 August 2013, it was announced on Jono and Ben at Ten's official Facebook page, that the show would return for a third series in 2014 and that TV3 and New Zealand on Air have increased the episodes to 26 episodes.〔https://www.facebook.com/JonoAndBen〕 The official announcement came on 24 October 2013, when MediaWorks released their full renewals.〔http://www.3news.co.nz/MediaWorks-TV-announces-new-and-returning-shows-for-2014/tabid/418/articleID/318726/Default.aspx#.UpVdqcQW2So〕〔http://www.mediaworkstv.co.nz/TV3/tabid/56/Default.aspx〕 On 21 February 2014, series three of the show began airing (alongside ''7 Days'') which was a change from previous series which started in late May/early June. Since 2006 Jono has hosted the drive show on The Rock radio station originally alongside Robert Taylor. With Robert leaving in early 2014 a decision was made to place Ben as Jono's new radio co-host. The show on The Rock is hosted as an extension of the TV show. In 2014, Boyce teamed up with Jono Pryor on The Rock (radio station) to host the weekday afternoon show from 3 to 7pm. Where in 2014 they brought out hip hop star from the 90's Vanilla Ice to do the Vanilla Ice Bucket Challenge - dump two truck loads of ice water over them. Afterwards Jono and Ben got Vanilla Ice to play a sold out concert. On 18 February 2015, it was announced that series four of the show will be renamed to ''Jono and Ben'' and air at the earlier time of 7:30pm on Fridays. The show will also be extended to air for an hour instead of the previous half an hour. From 2015 the show is now presented from a much larger studio with Guy Williams sitting almost next to Jono and Ben, this studio was used for the final episode in 2014 which coincided with the TV3 25 year anniversary. In 2015, Boyce and Pryor both released their own limited edition Jono and Ben V Energy Drinks. The promotion put Jono and Ben against each other with their own separate flavours and a competition to be the most popular.〔http://stoppress.co.nz/news/jono-and-ben-launch-new-v-energy-flavours〕 In September 2015, Jono and Ben sailed a children's bouncy castle across Lake Taupo in Central New Zealand. The journey was 40 km and took almost 10 hours.〔http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment/tv-radio/71699342/jono-and-ben-set-off-across-lake-taupo-in-bouncy-castle〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jono and Ben」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
