On Sunday I blogged about the rumour that Andrew Denton's first "mystery" guest of the year would be David Hicks (see here), however, it turns that that was nothing more than a false rumour.  TV Tonight reports that the Denton's first guest will actually be Wayne Carey:

Contrary to speculation that Andrew Denton had landed an interview with David Hicks, comes the news that the controversial figure for the first episode of Enough Rope is Wayne Carey.

The former AFL footballer has been in the news recently for issues of alleged domestic violence, as well as confessions of cocaine and alcohol abuse.

Enough Rope recently teased media that an "exclusive interview with this controversial figure will be the first time this person has been interviewed and Denton will ask the questions every Australian wants to know."

After a story in New Idea magazine this week it is no longer the first interview, but the first television interview since Carey's recent media headlines.

Press Release:
