Improv comedy show Thank God You’re Here returns after 14 years with hilarious episode where Julia Zemiro gets frightened by a snake
Improv comedy series Thank God You’re Here made a triumphant return to television on Wednesday evening, 14 years after it was originally taken off the air.
The hilarious premiere of the Channel 10 show shocked viewers by having guest star Julia Zemiro, 56, get frightened by a live snake during a sketch.
Zemiro was appearing in a Border Security-like skit in which she was asked to open the contents of a box, and was left stunned after learning a snake was in it.
‘What is fragile in there? Hello? Oh my god. Wow, that is a real snake!’ a shocked Zemiro tells her co-stars.
Viewers quickly took to Twitter to praise the show and gushed over what a good sport Zemiro was for agreeing to take part in the challenging skit.
