Benjamin Luke "Ben" Cousins (born 30 June 1978) is a former Australian rules footballer, best known for his 270-game career with West Coast and Richmond in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Cousins is listed by journalist Mike Sheahan as one of the top 50 players of all time. During his eleven years with West Coast, he won several of the league's highest individual awards including a Brownlow Medal, Most Valuable Player and a premiership medallion, was selected six times in the All-Australian Team and represented Australia in the International Rules Series. He was West Coast's club champion for four seasons and captain for five seasons.

His football career has been marred by highly-publicised off-field incidents involving recreational drug use, traffic convictions and association with criminal elements. On several occasions he was fined or sanctioned by the West Coast Eagles, culminating in his contract's termination on 17 October 2007. On 19 November he was banned from AFL for one year by the AFL Commission for "bringing the game into disrepute". Cousins was cleared to return to football in 2009 and was drafted by Richmond Football Club on 16 December 2008. He retired from the game at the end of the 2010 season.

William James "Wil" Anderson (born 31 January 1974) is an Australian comedian, writer, performing stand-up, and television and radio presenter and personality.

Anderson grew up in the small town of Heyfield, in the Gippsland region of Victoria on a dairy farm. He attended Gippsland Grammar School in Sale and later the University of Canberra.

Anderson is well known as host of popular Australian panel show The Gruen Transfer and prior to that The Glass House, both on ABC. His radio and television career has made Anderson a highly recognised comedian in Australia, but he is foremost a standup comedy performer and known for naming his solo shows with a pun on his name.

Anderson aroused controversy over some jokes he made about the late father of Australian Idol finalist Shannon Noll at the 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.

Anderson has also performed at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival in Montreal.

Anderson was the host of the ABC TV show, The Glass House from 2001 to 2006, with Corinne Grant and Dave Hughes. In November 2006 the show was cancelled amid speculation that the cancellation was made due to pressure from the Howard government. Howard responded with, "I do not tell the ABC what programs it should run. I respect the independence of the ABC."^{[citation needed]} In 2007, Anderson was nominated for the "Most Popular Presenter" award at the Logies for his role on the show.
