Andy Lee returns as The Hundred sets a date with Anthony Albanese
andy lee is back as The Hundred with Andy Lee returns for its ninth season on Tuesday, April 28, at 7. 30pm ET on Channel 9 and 9Now. The premiere puts Prime Minister Anthony Albanese in the hot seat, as the panel tests whether the nation can actually recognise its leader. The return promises fresh data, big-name guests, and another round of questions designed to expose what Australians really think.
Prime Minister faces the opening test
The premiere episode centers on Face The Hundred, with Anthony Albanese taking on the first major challenge of the season. The segment is built around a simple but sharp question: can the nation identify its leader?
That opening episode also features Sophie Monk, Mike Goldstein, and Welsh comedian Lloyd Langford, who join the discussion as the panel weighs questions about politics, open-mouth chewers, big-date spenders, and whether it is acceptable to break up with someone just before Christmas. The format keeps the focus on everyday opinions, with 100 Australians zooming in from across the country to reflect the nation’s mix.

The season’s guest list also includes Cody Simpson, Janine Allis, Max Gawn, and Samuel Johnson. The show’s structure remains centered on quick-fire reactions and broad public opinion, with each episode built to test what the country knows, believes, and admits in the moment.
What viewers can expect next

When The Hundred with Andy Lee returns on Tuesday, April 28, at 7. 30pm ET, the first test will belong to the Prime Minister — and the next surprise may come from the 100 Australians watching from home.
