About this season
New Zealand Today began on Jono And Ben as a parody of click-bait journalism and modern media culture. The segment went on to become its own 'show within a show' and clips have since racked up hundreds of thousands of views online. New Zealand Today takes Guy Williams around the country checking out strange and unusual goings-on in regional New Zealand.
