IT looks like the Australian public aren't the only ones cooling on funnyman Rove McManus with Kyle Sandilands taking aim at him on Sydney radio.
As his weekly show continues to tank in the ratings, Rove went on the Kyle and Jackie O radio show in Sydney to discuss his gold logie nomination but got a little more than he bargained for from Kyle Sandilands, who revealed he had nothing but disdain for the pint-sized comedian.
The pair played nice for most of the interview and Kyle even signed off by saying: "Thanks mate, nice to talk to you."
But once Rove was off the line, Kyle lashed out saying: "I lied about the 'nice to talk to you' bit. Hate talkin' to him ... hate his guts. I was bein' civil. But I still don't like him."
Jackie O then tried to calm the situation but Kyle continued with his rant.
"Being civil to people and actually liking him are two different things. I don't wanna pretend to the audience that I like him, cos he's an arsehole."
"I will present the show in a professional manner ... really what I think is he's a spiteful little a***hole. That's what I think."
Despite the 1.36million lead-in from So You Think You Can Dance on Sunday night, Rove Live managed just 843,000 viewers in its second appearance of the year.
The slump appeared to have little effect on McManus's popularity with Logies voters yesterday handing the comic a seventh gold logie nomination.
Ten are yet to comment on the Sandilands outburst.
