Back in 2020, Australian radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “O” Henderson sparked massive debate with their KIIS 106.5 show’s controversial competition, ‘Boyfriend or Daddy.’ The challenge placed a female guest alongside a male counterpart and tasked the hosts with guessing whether they were a romantic couple or a father and daughter.
The stakes were high: if Kyle and Jackie O guessed wrong, the guests would walk away with over $600. One unforgettable episode featured Stacey, 26, and Nick, 49, who shocked everyone when they revealed they were actually father and daughter. The moment became even more uncomfortable when the pair shared a full-blown kiss, leading Kyle to exclaim that it “had to be a boyfriend,” insisting no one kisses their father that way — except maybe in isolated mountain communities.
This controversial segment became infamous, reflecting the show’s larger history of pushing boundaries. The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is currently reviewing the show for airing content considered vulgar and sexually explicit, despite previous warnings.
