NZ On Air 30th Birthday - Billy T James
Web (Full Length) – 2019
A who's who of Kiwi television names reminisce about iconic comedian Billy T James in this short video, celebrating NZ On Air's 30th birthday. Jemaine Clement, Oscar Kightley and Hilary Barry are among those describing Billy T as a national treasure, mischievous and cheeky, while friend Peter Rowley recalls the day he died. Billy T was already a household name by the time NZ On Air was created: an NZOA-funded sitcom and a celebration showcase allowed Kiwis to see him as much more than a comedian. He inspired many comedians, and left a legacy of brilliant moments.
That was an exciting day, the next day after Billy T. We’d all be quoting it, doing impressions.– Jemaine Clement on schoolyard reactions to new episodes of The Billy T James Show
