Spin-offs
A spin-off of the format titled Saturday Live premiered on 10 August 2013, designed as a short-run format in the lead up to the 2013 federal election. The initial season ran for four weeks, wrapping up on 31 August 2013.[5][3] The show returned on 30 April 2016 ahead of the 2016 election.[6] Additionally, it was joined by another spin-off the following night titled Sunday Live.[7][8]
However, unlike the original format, both spin-offs are hosted by Janine Perrett.[9]
A segment from Saturday Live was extended to its own program in 2016, titled So You Want To Be A Politician? in which Perrett interviews minor party and independent candidates hoping to be elected.[10][11]
