Dominic Knight
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dominic Sebastien Knight is a contributor to the Australian political satire comedy group The Chaser and writer and blogger for the Sydney Morning Herald. He, along with fellow Sydney comedian Charles Firth, founded The Chaser Newspaper which was launched in May 1999.[1]
Television credits include Chaser News Alert and his role as a reporter for two series of CNNNN.
He now works as a writer on The Chaser's War on Everything, an ABC television program which is written and performed by the members of The Chaser comedy group. Unlike his colleagues, Dominic rarely presents on the program on-screen but has done some cameo appearances throughout the first series. This includes performing alongside Andrew Hansen, playing the double bass during a comedy lounge music-style arrangement of Rancid Amputation by death metal band Cannibal Corpse. He also contributed to the commentary track for the second volume of The Chaser's War on Everything DVD.
During January 2007, he acted as Triple M's drive time summer fill in along with Chaser colleague Chas Licciardello. Their show, Chas and Dom from 'The Chaser', aired between 4-6pm on weekdays from January 2-25 and often included guest appearances from their Chaser colleagues.[2]
Knight also writes for the Sydney Morning Herald, contributing opinion pieces[3], writing for the Wednesday liftout Radar[4], and blogging on the 2007 New South Wales election campaign.[5]
In September 2007, Knight was questioned alongside fellow Chaser members Chris Taylor and Craig Reucassel after they strapped on cardboard cars (limousines) and 'driving' around Sydney in the wake of Chas and Julian's arrest for entering a restricted zone without justification during the APEC Summit.
