Star Trek's Scott Bakula!
Around the Circle
We catch up with our hosts’ latest news and exploits.
Caroline Rhea
Better known to some as Aunt Hilda in Sabrina, The Teenage Witch, Caroline Rhea is a superstar of the comedy world. Originally from Montreal, Caroline cut her teeth on the competitive comedy circuit in NYC and became a feature on TV comedy shows there before moving to Hollywood. She has had numerous roles on TV and in films from hosting of the US Biggest to playing Heather Locklear’s buddy in The Perfect Man.
Caroline is currently thrilling audiences at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and we’re delighted to have her join us for a few laughs.

He joins us live from Sydney to talk about his long and diverse career, and his participation in the Star Trek Convention in Sydney and Melbourne this weekend.
