Mike Myers has had some diverse roles over the years, from Austin Powers to the iconic voice of Shrek and of course, Wayne Campbell in Wayne's World. However, it's been some time since he's graced our screens and hasn't taken centre stage in a movie in almost ten years.

Myers is set to make his comeback now however and is switching things up once more for the revamp of ABC's The Gong Show where he will pretend to be a 72-year-old British comedy legend named Tommy Maitland.

There he is now...

Maitland's made up backstory has him as a former host of "an Australian game show called Dingo’s Got the Baby, in which one contestant would be the dingo and another the baby, and a chase would ensue."

So yep, as you might predict, the jokes will inevitably be all kinds of dark, with Mike helped along with proceedings by Will Arnett, who will executive produce the comedy game show.

According to the show's official synopsis: "Every episode will celebrate unusually talented and unique performers on a primetime stage. A revolving panel of judges featuring Hollywood’s hottest stars praise, critique and gong contestants in one of TV’s all-time great variety shows."

Looks great... and utter madness.
