On 15 May 2006 his program was barraged by calls from members of the public, incorrectly stating that the answer to his trivia question, "Who is the Premier of Tasmania?", was "India" (The correct answer being Paul Lennon). The joke persists to this day, with callers randomly saying "India" on air. The story was picked up by ABC Television's Media Watch program.

Gilbert's night time radio program recorded the lowest ever ratings for a commercial program in Sydney, attracting just 0.1% share of the available audience. Radio 2SM subsequently withdrew from the AC Nielsen Radio ratings.
