Midday (commonly referred to as The Midday Show) is an Australian award-winning daytime television program, based on the variety format that aired on the Nine Network on 11 February 1985 until 27 November 1998.[1] The show aired, like its title suggests, at noon, on a weekday schedule, and was a 90-minute variety programme with international and local guests.[1] It featured interviews, musical performances and comedy spots. The format of the show was similar to that of its predecessor, The Mike Walsh Show, which it replaced in the lunch time slot.[1]
