Rove McManus, an Australian comedian and television personality, was the host of the show. McManus was known for his quick wit and easy-going demeanor, and he brought that same energy to Rove LA. He often joked and bantered with his guests, and his genuine interest in their lives and careers made for engaging interviews.

One of the most memorable episodes of Rove LA featured Gary Busey, the eccentric actor known for his offbeat behavior and outlandish statements.

Carell talked about his early career in improv comedy and his transition to film and television acting. He also shared some behind-the-scenes stories from The Office, the hit show he co-starred in at the time.

In addition to interviews, Rove LA featured comedy sketches that showcased McManus's knack for physical comedy and impersonations. One sketch featured McManus playing a bumbling detective who investigates a case involving a missing cat. Another sketch saw McManus playing a game show host in a spoof of The Price is Right.

Musical performances were also a regular feature on the show. Many notable artists appeared on Rove LA, including Adam Lambert, The Black Eyed Peas, and Jason Derulo. The show's energetic studio audience made for a lively atmosphere, with fans cheering and dancing along with the music.

Rove LA also had a charitable component, as McManus used the show to highlight various causes and organizations. In one episode, he interviewed a group of firefighters who had recently battled a massive wildfire. In another episode, he highlighted a charity that provides meals to underprivileged children.

Overall, Rove LA was a fun and engaging talk show that provided a platform for McManus to showcase his comedic talents while also giving viewers a glimpse into the lives of their favorite celebrities.
