Jono and Ben end show
Jono Pryor & Ben Boyce announced on air tonight that after an epic 7 seasons, Jono & Ben (the TV series) will not be returning in 2019.
Some quotes from the boys and Chief Content Officer, Andrew Szusterman below:
Jono:
We've seen the Stuff.co.nz
comments, so we know not everyone loves it as much as us!
But seriously, it’s been one hell of a ride and we look
forward to celebrating the last 7 years over next final 5
weeks of the show.
Ben:
This
show has been such a huge part of our lives. Over the last 7
years, we've made over 200 episodes… we’ve put our pride
(and at times our bodies) on the line all in the name of
comedy - and we've loved every minute of making this
show.
Andrew Szusterman:
The
current format for Jono and Ben has been running for 7
years, which for an entertainment show in NZ is almost
unprecedented. Jono and Ben will remain very much a part of
the MediaWorks family and I am really excited about what we
can do in the future - we've already started discussing some
ideas....
