What Now says farewell to a much-loved, friendly face this Sunday morning (8am TV2), when host Charlie Panapa leaves the show and the team welcomes a very big surprise to the What Now world!
After 6 and a half years of fronting New Zealand's favourite kids television show, Charlie is making a change and heading abroad for new challenges, fun and laughs, leaving behind a myriad of characters and craziness that has made him a household name and face.

On this week's show, What Now will say good bye to Charlie with special surprise guests and performances, amongst all the usual early fun, games and gunge!  But to add to the excitement, the What Now team will also reveal the much anticipated new presenter line-up, to take the show into the next realm.

'What Now has been my life and who ever steps into my place is about to embark on the biggest and best adventure they have ever known', says Charlie of his time on What Now.  'Saying farewell is going to be hard, but I guarantee there is always a laugh and someone to gunge around the corner!'
Over the last ten weeks the What Now audience has helped us search for and select someone to Charge in for Charlie, this Sunday we'll have the results and a very exciting surprise. 

Who from the Top 3 will be coming down the slide to join Gem and Johnson for the rest of 2011?  Tune into What Now this Sunday 8am, TV2 to find out!!
