In the first season of Frontline, the ABC parody of television current affairs journalism in the mid 1990s, the outgoing 3AW morning host appeared as himself. Mitchell was a regular participant in the news of the day with Frontline's self-absorbed and dimwitted host Mike Moore, played by Rob Sitch, on his 3AW morning show (main). But when Mitchell sluggishly slammed producer Working Dog's new show Funky Squad on television, they fired him. 'Mindy, my bill for the entire series was one bottle of whisky, and I don't drink whisky,' he told Daily Mail Australia.
