The show was hosted by "Seven News" sports anchor Matt White alongside a panel that included former "Ten News" and "Today" host Jessica Rowe, former "Sunrise" weather presenter Monique Wright and Triple M radio host Paul Murray. The show was created by Adam Boland, who is also an executive producer for "Sunrise" and "The Morning Show" on the Seven Network.

Controversy

Openly gay former Big Brother housemate Zach Douglas was reportedly removed from the original line up of panelists after offering explicit advice on oral sex and same-sex practices during an episode which aired on February 19, 2008. A spokeswoman for Seven claims there was "no correlation between the incident" and Douglas' removal from the line up, and that Douglas would remain on the show as an entertainment reporter.

A different guest panelist replaced Douglas' spot for each episode thereafter. A permanent replacement was intended to be appointed before the show was axed.
