If there’s one thing that KIIS FM radio hosts Kyle Sandilands and Jackie O love, it’s a good old fashioned, “gotcha!” prank. But oddly enough, when the joke is turned on them the pair don’t seem to find it too funny, which is exactly what happened earlier this week.
When delivering the famous pair their show’s ratings for the week, show director Derek Bargwana decided to pull a Joe Hockey and have a bit of fun with the numbers.

Pretending the show had dropped a number of points and been knocked off their "number one radio show" pedestal all in the name of a laugh, Bargwana pulled a double punch in pretending they'd been replaced by rival hosts, Rove and Sam.
And lets be clear here - in the world of radio, there is no greater tower on which to stand than top spot. That sweet, sweet, number one radio show brag that can be used at dinner parties, to get out of parking fines, and mostly just to get first dibs on the canapés when attending industry events.
So telling the duo that their spot at the top was gone? That's cold, Bargwana. Real cold.
