In 2005, Nine, Seven and 10 staged their first joint telethon for victims of the Boxing Day tsunami.

Australia Unites: Reach Out to Asia was jointly hosted by Eddie McGuire, Rove McManus and, umm, Andrew O’Keefe.

Amongst the many stars were Bert Newton, Shane Warne, Magda Szubanski, Osher Gunsberg (then Andrew G), Andrew Denton, Guy Sebastian, Jon Stevens, Molly Meldrum (in Phuket), Chris Reason (ditto), Ray Martin (in Banda Aceh), Gretel Killeen, Scott Cam, Sandra Sully, Dicko, Tracy Grimshaw, Daryl Somers, Anthony Callea, Richard Wilkins, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Kasey Chambers, Larry Emdur, Melissa Doyle, David Koch and more.
