Over a decade after Rove Live went off the air, comedian Rove McManus is making his big return to TV.

His new show, CelebrityEscape, will be available on Three and Three Now from Tuesday, and it's set to showcase comedians from both sides of the Tasman.

McManus says he was expecting someone to step in and fill his shoes after he left for America after the end of Rove Live, but so far, no one's been able to.

"Obviously, other shows did come through, but they didn't last or have the same impact - and then, of course, as the nature of the way people watch things changed - that probably has an effect on it as well."
