7 Days Serves “Cease And Desist” Order On Prime Minister

After months of harassment the 7 Days production team have taken legal action to stop John Key trying to get on the show. The popular comedy series has been going for almost four years and in that time approximately 30 politicians have appeared in the ‘Yes Minister’ segment of the show. John Key has not been among them.

Mr Key began by sending jokes to the 7 Days team. These were forwarded to the police as they contained some “pretty rough stuff about Gerry Brownlee and Paula Bennett, together”. Key then began appearing at the studio during records “Just to say hi.” Key told several of the show’s producers, as well as the makeup woman and the caterer, that he was willing to re-enact his famous handshake with Dai Henwood and Paul Ego.

Host Jeremy Corbett today said “At first we were flattered that the PM wanted to be involved, but he’s been phoning us, putting on a big deep fake voice pretending to be his own Press Secretary going like ‘John would be really good on your show, why don’t you invite him on this week?’. And we’re like ‘we know it’s you, John’, and he hangs up.”

On his trip to Latin America last month Mr Key appeared on the Mexican equivalent of 7 Days, Septos Nachos, in a segment where comedians hit politicians with sticks until lollies fall out of their pockets. Key has posted a video clip of that appearance 7,183 times on the 7 Days Facebook page. It has gained 3 ‘likes’.
