David Tench Tonight is the brainchild of Andrew, whose production company, Zapruder’s other films, partnered with Sydney based digital production company Animal Logic for the program. David Tench is the world’s first real-time animated talk show host, a virtual cartoon talk show host who interviews real guests in real time, asking the questions real hosts wouldn’t dare to.

"A piece of TV history is being made with the creation of animated talk show host David Tench. Network Ten’ David Tench is the brainchild of Enough Rope presenter Andrew Denton and his production company, Zapruder’s other films. While motion capture and digital enhancement technologies have been used by the film industry for nearly a decade, this program is a first for television. In David Tench Tonight, a virtual cartoon host interviews real people in real time". -AAP News Wire

"We understand that a cartoon is random and ridiculous, so it changes the whole dynamic of an interview and I’m pleased to say, by and large, that’s what’s happened.” says Andrew Denton.

"The notion of Tench’s big, fat head dominating the screen is hard to overcome. But his delivery is wonderful. Drew Forsythe, sitting in a separate studio with more than 65 motion-capture sensors on his face and body while being watched over by Animal Logic technicians, pushes the boundaries." - The Australian
