Hey Hey It's Jew-Face

Channel 9 are un-Australian, and if you really want to know why you can ready plenty of why here. We don’t do blackface in this country (well you probably know we did if you read Richard Waterhouse or Melissa Bellanta, but if you do, you’re probably un-Australian too).
The Aussie tradition is Jew-face. I certainly like to think that if Roy was alive, he’d be a star on Hey Hey it’s Saturday—primed with Sabbath jokes, sponsorship deals and quasi-Yiddish innuendo inappropriate for the timeslot—with Effie Stephanidis, Con the Fruiterer, Habib from Pizza and the Wog Boy as walk-on cameos in his act.
In all his glory, he is pictured below. Gong ‘im, Red!
