John Safran: Media Tycoon

2009· 26 min★ 8.7· Documentary, Comedy

In this 1998 pilot which was never aired on Australian television, John Safran demonstrates the innovative talent he is capable of. The program is essentially a magazine-style presentation of social rebellion and challenge to Australian institutions. In what has become the most famous (and litigious) incident, Safran and A Current Affair 'victim' Shane Paxton rummage through Ray Martin's garbage, and are soon approached by an angry Martin and his wife.

Cast: John Safran, Shane Paxton, Brad Hulme
