John Safran

In 2004, John Safran vs God Episode 1 featured footage from The Loft Live John Safran vs God Episode 1 follows the plot that John Safran had appeared on The Loft Live with Rove McManus in 1997 after gaining popularity on the ABC TV show Race Around the World. After the taping of the episode of The Loft Rove promised Safran that "If I ever can do anything for you ever, just ask". Five years later in 2002 Safran's career had taken a beating after termination of his pilot commissioned by the ABC for an altercation he had with Ray Martin during the filming John Safran: Media Tycoon. By this stage, Rove was already at the top of Australian TV. Wanting to gain publicity for his new SBS show John Safran's Music Jamboree, according to Safran the SBS publicist had tentatively booked him in as a guest on Rove Live. Before the Taping of Rove Live, American Rock Chick P!nk replaced Safran as the guest. In 2004 Safran took a trip to the UK to jokingly get a Fatwa put upon Rove by Omar Bakri Muhammad. The fatwa was later taken off when Omar Bakri was told by Safran that the pictures showing McManus mocking Islam were falsified. Safran later appeared on Rove in 2009 and thanked McManus for having him on despite the Fatwa incident.
