"Where's Jeff?" is a game show in the Wiggles' 3rd TV series. The main point of the game is to find Jeff, who has gone missing. Anthony, Greg, Murray, and Captain Feathersword play the roles of the announcer (who is heard offscreen), the host, and the contestant. In some episodes, a character will play two of these roles, but never as the host and the contestant. The show starts with the room lighting up and the announcer introducing the host; the announcer doesn't do anything else after this. The host then calls out the contestant and after an introduction, the host will have him stand on an "X" as a large yellow helmet with a question mark on it called the Quizmatron lowers over the contestant's head so the contestant can't see or hear where Jeff is while the screen in the back shows Jeff's current location. As the contestant asks questions, the host will give the contestant clues on where Jeff is and the contestant has to figure out Jeff's location. After they get the answer right, the helmet goes up and the host and contestant realize that Jeff is asleep and must shout at the screen to wake Jeff up. Afterwards, Jeff will wake up and get back to Network Wiggles. The host and contestant then wave goodbye to the audience as the room gets dark. Aside from Captain Feathersword, The Wiggly Friends are either mentioned or appear on screen with Jeff in this segment.
