Hey Hey It's Saturday was a long running variety television program on Australian television. It ran for 27 years (there was a recess in 1978; see below), debuting on the Nine Network in October 1971 and broadcasting its last episode in November 1999. Its host throughout its entire run was Daryl Somers, who would later become executive producer of the program. Somers formed Somers Carroll Productions with Ernie Carroll, who was the puppeteer for Daryl's sidekick Ossie Ostrich.

Hosted by Dean Davis and a number of talented young musicians and singers, who also contributed with co-hosting segments, such as newsreels, interviews and record reviews. The young team were brothers Mike & Keith Webb, Lynette Pearson and In-Pack (band included Ruddy Boeff, Mark Simpkin).
