The Glass House was a half-hour Australian comedy talk show which screened on the ABC from 2001 to 2006.

It was hosted by stand-up comedian Wil Anderson, and co-hosted by fellow television and radio comedians Corinne Grant and Dave Hughes. Two additional guests joined the regular cast each week, including musicians, politicians, actors, radio personalities and other celebrities of varying calibre, such as Young Australian of the Year winners and Olympic athletes. Regular guests included comedians Adam Spencer and Akmal Saleh, netballer Liz Ellis, Play School host Rhys Muldoon and music critic Molly Meldrum. The show thrived on taking regular shots at, among others, Shannon Noll, Amanda Vanstone, Naomi Robson, Shane Warne and Peter Costello.

The show was pre-recorded in front of a live audience in the ABC's Sydney studio on Tuesday evenings. During the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, the show was taped inside the Melbourne Town Hall. The program initially screened on Friday nights, but suffered from an inconsistent timeslot, resulting in humorous TV spots to the effect of 9:30 Friday...probably. In 2005, The Glass House shifted to a more reliable timeslot on Wednesday at 9:35pm.

The show was recognised by the AFI Awards in 2005, winning Best Light Entertainment in the Television category, and beating long-time rival and ABC stablemate Enough Rope. Also in 2005, The Glass House was voted Most Under Acknowledged TV Show in one of the good categories for the satirical TV Fugly Awards .

The Glass House or Johnson house, built in 1949 in New Canaan, Connecticut, was designed by Philip Johnson as his own residence and is a masterpiece in the use of glass. It was an important and influential project for Johnson and his associate Richard Foster, and for modern architecture. The building is an essay in minimal structure, geometry, proportion, and the effects of transparency and reflection.

The house is mostly hidden from the public view. It is located behind a stone wall at the edge of a crest in Johnson’s estate overlooking a pond. It is one of eleven buildings that Johnson either built or refined on his rambling 47-acre estate. The exterior sides are glass and charcoal-painted steel; the brick floor is about 10 inches above the ground. The interior is open with the space divided by low walnut cabinets; a brick cylinder contains the bathroom and is the only object to reach floor to ceiling. The house builds on ideas of German architects from the 1920's ("Glasarchitektur"). In a house of glass, the views of the landscape are its real “walls”. The house often draws comparisons to Mies van der Rohe's Farnsworth House.

It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1997. and The house was the place of Philip Johnson's passing in January of 2005. After Johnson's death the Glass House passed to the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which opened it to visitors in April 2007.

ve Hughes: Sometimes my thoughts don't happen good.

mal Saleh: People don't give a rats about rats. In fact, you can buy rat poison at the supermarket at nobody complains. But if you go down to the supermarket and ask for kitten poison, they give you the weirdest looks.

ys Muldoon: I trust Amanda Vanstone. I trust, that if I left her alone in a room with a bucket of fried chicken, I trust that she'd eat the chicken. I then trust she'd launch a national enquiry into who ate the chicken!

ve Hughes: [referring to the bunny ears he's putting on] Do the pink bits go at the front? rinne Grant: Yes, Dave. Like all things in life, the pink bits go at the front.

z Ellis: [referring to the 'trust' poll] I can't believe Jeanette Howard came in front of John. You see, as much as I don't trust John Howard, I would never trust anyone who'd sleep with John Howard! l Anderson: *Ahem!* That's why I don't trust George Bush!
