WHAT DOES CASUALLY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

The show follows the same theme of Hacker tricking the celebrity/s into his studio, interviewing them, and then watching sketches and outtakes from other programmes. Each episode is approximately 30 minutes long. The theme song and ending songs are sung by Phil Fletcher who is Hacker T. Dog's puppeteer and voice actor. The show first aired in September 2011 and was rated #10 in the Weekly Top 10 Programmes for the week of 3–9 October 2011.

The third series of the show started on 22 July 2013 where Derek books better guests than Hacker has in mind. Series 4 was confirmed on CBBC by Hacker.

10 QUOTES WITH «CASUALLY»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word casually.
1
Jack Antonoff
Of course, the majority of us would speak up in the face of outrageous bigotry, but do we speak up in a social situation when someone casually refers to something as 'gay'? If we don't, we are standing with the homophobes whom we are quietly fighting.
2
Richard Ben-Veniste
In an age when many of our citizens casually reveal information about themselves in social media wildly beyond anything imaginable only a decade ago, it would seem to be a useful exercise in civics to re-educate the public about the value and purpose of protecting against unwarranted government intrusion.
3
Preet Bharara
Significant officials at publicly traded companies are casually and cavalierly engaged in insider trading. Because insider trading has as one of its elements communication, it doesn't take rocket science to realize it's nice to have the communication on tape.
4
Graydon Carter
It's a rare moment when we take a break from the tribulations of the daily rat race to reflect on assumptions and values that we casually accept as gospel.
5
Adam Clymer
There's a Washington standard of casually putting things off the record. It's really gone too far. I don't know an easy way to turn it back.
6
Claudette Colbert
I bet you think an egg is something you casually order for breakfast when you can't think of anything else. Well, so did I once, but that was before the egg and I.
7
Chuck Eddy
California club pop chirper Dev's debut is as stark as it is sweet. This is owed partly to the casually giddy lightness of her talk-singing - familiar from her slizzered 2010 cameo on Far East Movement's smash 'Like a G6,' and around-the way-girl frisky like 1980s Latin freestyle.
8
Jason Gedrick
I never really gambled - certainly not playing poker. I'd casually bet on a football game or joined a pool.
9
Ellen Goodman
Values are not trendy items that are casually traded in.
10
Alison Gopnik
If you just casually look at a baby, it doesn't look like there's very much going on there, but they know more and learn more than we would ever have thought. Every single minute is incredibly full of thought and novelty. It's easy as adults to take for granted everything it took to arrive at the state where we are.
