McDonald's Young Entertainers is a New Zealand talent show that aired on TV2 at 6:30pm on Sundays. It was hosted by Jason Gunn, and endorsed by the McDonald's franchise. The show was inspired by The Mickey Mouse Club. Leigh Evans was a choreographer. The series was broadcast from 30 March 1997 to 18 September 1999. Many episodes ended with a live cover of "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)" by Diana Ross. The show aired with high ratings among young audiences, but was cancelled within two years in late 1999. Independent country artist Ainslie Allen appeared on the show.
