Jono and Ben
Jono and Ben, previously titled Jono and Ben at Ten, is a satirical news and entertainment show hosted by Jono Pryor and Ben Boyce in New Zealand. The show aired on Three on Thursday nights at 7:30pm, and was filmed the night before in their studios in Epsom. The show combined pre-filmed comedy sketches, pranks and parodies, linked together by segments filmed in front of a small studio audience. A third presenter, Guy Williams sat in a chair to the right of the stage and provided 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.
In 2017 the show moved to Thursday nights and started broadcasting live (with prerecorded segments and sketches). The show was cancelled during its seventh season, marking the end to its seven year run.
From 2014 to 2016, they hosted The Rock's drive show, and from 2017 to 2019, they cohosted The Edge's drive show with Sharyn Casey.
In 2020, the duo began hosting the networked breakfast show on The Hits.
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 2 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 first series' 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.[citation needed] New Zealand Herald TV blogger Paul Casserly named it in his Top 5 Comedies of 2012, while stuff.co.nz reviewer Chris Philpot named the show in his Top 10 shows 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.
