ABC Comedy’s Tonightly with Tom Ballard is now on a six week hiatus, due to return on June 18.

In its place will be repeats of UK panel show Never Mind the Buzzcocks.

The series recently appointed a new executive producer in Dan Ilic, but is also being investigated by the Australian Communications & Media Authority after a controversial sketch referring to Australian Conservatives candidate Kevin Bailey as “a c**t’.”

ABC Director of Entertainment & Specialty David Anderson has since apologised to Australian Conservatives candidate Kevin Bailey for any personal offence.
