Initially competing against ''
Agro's Cartoon Connection'' on the
Seven Network, the younger youth hosts, 'edgier' feel, and larger focus on showing cartoons allowed Ten to take the early morning children's TV crown off Seven. The wrap program ran from 7am to 8.30 am as a way of introducing the episodes of the main shows such as Pokémon. The reason why the show ran until 8.30am was because when the program started, Lappin and Gatt were still at school, and were required to be transported from the studios at Pyrmont to school each school day. During the show's run, Ryan Lappin was once nominated for
Cleo magazine's Bachelor of the Year only to lose to Australian swimmer
Geoff Huegill. Jade Gatt also hosted late night music show
Ground Zero. During the later years of the show, Lappin and Gatt's editorials were quickly becoming notorious for their use of more adult-oriented humour. On 20 August 2005, the last episode of
Cheez TV was broadcast after 10 years on the air, although Lappin and Gatt's final on-air appearance took place on 31 December 2004. In 2005, only cartoons showed during
Cheez TV. It was later replaced with
Toasted TV in the same time slot, which continues to screen series such as
Naruto,
One Piece and
Winx Club. In 2010, a
Facebook event scheduled for 7 October 2010 appeared, attempting to gain interest in a Cheez TV reunion show. It quickly attracted the attention of Cheez TV fans. Jade and Ryan both had an interview with the E Team from U20 Radio Station which aired on 7 August 2010, where they briefly spoke to Peter Styles about the Facebook group and the show. However, after the group sent hundreds of petitioned emails to the networks, third parties made complaints which led to Facebook closing the group. It is unknown whether any consideration has been taken in relation to a
Cheez TV reunion by any network contacted. On 28 June 2011, the Adelaide Anime and Videogame Convention
AVCon announced Cheez TV presenters Ryan Lappin and Jade Gatt as special guests. The pair appeared in multiple guest panels throughout the weekend. On 22 January 2016, Ryan and Jade launched the official Cheez TV Facebook page with the help of friend and podcaster Brendan Dando, co-host of the Simpsons podcast 'Four Finger Discount', after Lappin discovered all of the tapes containing the episodes in his garage. The page features old episodes of the show as well as some new programming from Lappin and Gatt. Throughout all of 2016, the pair made appearances during
Supanova Expo events at all locations held. On 30 July 2017, Ryan and Jade started doing livestreams on
Twitch, performing an impromptu version of the show called Cheez Live which involved chatting with fans, reviewing movies, reading fan-mail, talking about old Cheez TV memories and streaming video games. Despite being popular with its audience, it ended abruptly within the year and was changed to an episodic YouTube format called The Jade & Ryan Show for unknown reasons. The duo also hosted the live concert event So Pop in Australia during the year 2019. When the Twitch version of the show ended the channel was deleted. However, for undisclosed reasons, the YouTube version of the show ended after Gatt and Lappin announced a hiatus, with the last video being uploaded to the channel on 24 March 2019, of their producer turning off the studio lights and shutting doors. The show has since ended. The YouTube show lasted a shorter time than the Twitch streams, although it was not a live broadcast. A podcast called The Jade And Ryan Podcast was also recorded and released during 2018. As of 2023 they have not done anything new since. Plans for Ryan Lappin to return to Twitch was made but the show never materialized. They also deleted their entire social media presence, with their last posts respectively being in 2019. ==Programming==
