Okay I've got a bit of a bone to pick with you on this one because you ask this question all the time and people always go 'Oh Rove Rove' and you sit there 'Oh yeah yeah' but they never follow through, It's all flirting...
Crowd cheers as Chas launches himself onto Rove for an open mouth pash.
Chas
Take that! He's mine, mine! Back off!
Rove
Can I just say, if you're watching at home right now, lick your hand... rub it... and smell it, that's kind of what's going on right about now.
Well I can't believe, I kind of, for a moment there I kind of went ‘No you have to open your mouth, be a good host'. You can get both, you can get the $20.
Chris stands up and proceeds to unbuckle his belt & puts a leg over the desk
Rove
I don't want to see it!
Rove then plugs their DVD, stand-up show & thanks the boys for coming.
Rove
We'll be back – it gets hotter
Chas then gives Rove hug which pushes him back onto the sit & they both fall over onto the ground as it cuts to commercial.
That was hot man, during the break I uploaded that to YouTube, it's going to get a lot of hits... – Dave Hughes
A Network Ten spokeswoman said today: When we asked Rove about it today, he said...
Why didn't Hugh Jackman answer like that? For the record, even though he shoved his tongue in my mouth, technically Chas didn't tell me who he'd turn gay for. I guess we can all only still but wonder. - Rove McManus (25 May, 2008)
However, i had to go on Rove to sell some tickets for our show. On Rove they ask you that turning gay question every time. I find it annoying. It leads to predictable anti-climactic answers. So i thought it would at least be interesting to ravish Rove and see how he'd react.
It wasn't set-up. I didn't think it would be hilarious or daring. It was just me trying to make something out of nothing. Incidentally, i thought Rove dealt with it well too, with some good lines off it. Hats off to him.. - Chas Licciardello (31 May, 2008)
I know there was tongue, because Julia Morris pointed out you closed your eyes. . . the thing was just swirling around in there
On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it forceful - Rove McManus
I was watching it on YouTube afterwards someone joked about, it actually was on YouTube immediately... this look of fear came into his eyes, that when I was stuffing my tongue down his throat - Chas Licciar

The Chaser's latest war is on heterosexuality, if a tongue-mashing,
saliva-swapping kiss between Chas Licciardello and Rove McManus
is anything to go by.
A clearly shocked McManus was ambushed last night by Licciardello
on Channel 10's Rove, after McManus ended a Q&A segment with his
regular question: "Who would you turn gay for?"
Licciardello took umbrage at the number of men who claimed they would
turn gay for McManus, but then failed to follow through.
Rove viewers were then treated to an extended pash one to rival Madonna
and Britney with an extra lick on
the face thrown in for good measure.
McManus this morning labelled the man-on-man action as "forceful".
"I know there was tongue . . . the thing was just swirling around
in there," McManus told Triple M breakfast team Pete Helliar and
Myf Warhurst.
McManus also admitted to a bit of "bristle-on-bristle" and informed
Licciardello that his mouth was like a suction pad.
"On a scale of 1 to 10, I would rate it forceful," McManus said.
Some 3000 viewers had watched the clip on YouTube, including Licciardello.
"I watched it on YouTube afterwards. This look of fear came into
his (Rove's) eyes, when I was stuffing my tongue down his throat
