** Their first ''Gap Year'' series[[note]]now known as "Gap Year USA"[[/note]] followed a variety show format (complete with celebrity interviews and various recurring segments[[labelnote:which included...]]Safari (a location film shot outside of New York), R2-To-Do (which involved various [[StoryArc story arcs]] set up by a “to-do list robot”), Ultimate Wingman (in which Hamish used Andy as a ChickMagnet and lied about him having a wife), Hamish vs. Andy (in which Hamish and Andy raced against everyday life) and Ryan Shelton’s 100 Second New York Lessonds (highly-exaggerated lessons on NYC culture)[[/labelnote]]) rather than a comedic travel show format (in which Hamish & Andy show films recounting their journey), which is slightly lost in later edited versions.
*** Out of those segments, only Hamish vs. Andy was kept in later seasons, with the original {{Narrator}} replaced by the more popular and funnier-sounding Ian Danter. Ultimate Wingman, on the other hand (thanks to its popularity) made at least one appearance in each series.

Hamish Blake and Andy Lee are an Australian ComedyDuo who, while most famous for their radio shows, have also dabbled in television; the two are something of an ubiquitous force in Australian media, regularly making guest spots on panel shows and the like. Their most famous effort is ''The Hamish & Andy Show'', a weekly (daily until 2011) afternoon radio program on the Today Network. After several years of doing television specials on Creator/NetworkTen, the Creator/NineNetwork signed an on-going television deal with the duo from 2011 onward; so far broadcasting their ''Gap Year'' series (where they explore a continent for RuleOfFunny content), ''True Story'' (a series built around [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin weird true stories]], hosted by Hamish and Andy) and ''Perfect Holiday''.
