The Mike Hosking Breakfast is renowned for its brevity and Friday was no exception.

During Wrapping the Week - a panel discussion around the news-making topics of the last five days that often descends into chaos - the Breakfast producing crew decided it would be apt to finish the show with a game of 'Who Has the Best Laugh?'

Hilarity ensued for host, producers, guests and audience alike as David Seymour, Jamie Strange, Ginny Andersen and Mike Hosking had their laughs played for Tim Wilson and Kate Hawkesby to judge.

After a moment of scrutinous analysis, Wilson and Hawkesby came to the same conclusion and without prejudice decided Hosking aka 'Scooby Doo' was the winner.

Police Minister Ginny Andersen came in second, Jamie Strange third and David Seymour missed the podium in a four-horse race to come in fourth.
