Some more scoop: The topic of the very first episode of Gareth's new TV talk show is: ''Heritage day'' and the studio guests are the ones that you see in the photo above (yes, it's funnyman Trevor Noah far right).
*The set was designed by Michael Gill, also responsible for the All Access set, as well as e.tv's new lobby.
*I've counted the audience seating while I attended the recording of the first episode on Monday night, and it will have 73 people, neatly arranged in a concentric seating design over 5 towering rows of chairs.
*Gareth will make his first appearance dressed in a white shirt, black jacket, blue jean and brown belt.
*The show will incorporate an interactive element - audience members get the chance to vote on interactive ''eggs'', and viewers at home will be able to vote as well.
*The show is filmed with 3 floor cameras, 1 crane camera and 1 steadycam.
*''The show is about what's happening in the world,'' says Gareth Cliff. ''This is a funny, light, cool, South African show.''
