TV funnyman Sam Pang is heading back to host The Logie Awards in August.

This will be the third time in three years that the 51-year-old comedian has taken on the anchor role for TV’s Night of Nights.

Sam’s cheeky and irreverent comedy as host last year and in 2023 proved to be a big hit with audiences and TV’s A-list as well as a major ratings winner for Seven.

‘It’s been an honour to host the last two years and I’m looking forward to again celebrating the talented people and amazing shows that combine to make the Australian television industry something everyone can be proud of,’ Sam told The Herald Sun on Sunday.

‘I am very excited to return for another Logies and would like to thank Seven for asking me back.’

TV funnyman Sam Pang is heading back to host The Logie Awards in August. This will be the third time in three years that the 51-year-old comedian has taken on the anchor role

This year’s lucky Logie nominees will be announced on June 16.

Sam is expected to unleash another take-no-prisoners monologue as host when the Logies ceremony kicks off at the Star Sydney on August 3.

The beloved comedian left viewers in stitches with a cutting series of one liners when he took to the stage last year.

He was widely praised for his presenting – and roasting of celebrities – for the 2023 event and he certainly did not fail to disappoint as viewers applauded his ‘fearless’ monologue which saw him boldly take aim at Channel Seven.

Sam didn’t hold back as he savagely roasted Seven for their spate of recent scandals, such as the Bruce Lehrmann-Spotlight scandal, despite the fact the Logies were airing on the network.

He also hit out at Network 10 and Married At First Sight in his take-no-prisoners monologue, before making jokes at the expense of Adam Lambert and LeAnn Rimes.

Sam opened his monologue by savagely taking aim at Seven, referencing their recent scandals as the crowds reacted with shocked gasps.

‘Firstly, Channel 7, well, I’m just letting you all know I’m going to say whatever I want tonight,’ he said as he kicked things off.

‘I stand before you safe in the knowledge that whatever I say, this network will defend me in court, and with their impeccable record in defamation cases over the last 12 months I reckon I’ll be fine.’

Amid a string of jobs being cut at Seven, Sam then joked that he wasn’t getting paid by the network for his hosting gig and said they would instead be paying his rent.

‘Full disclosure – I’m not getting paid by Channel Seven tonight. Instead, for the next 12 months, they’re paying my rent,’ he quipped. Which is handy as they’ll know what address to send the Thai masseuse to.’

Sam then left the crowds in stitches with his MAFS joke as he quipped: ‘Reality shows continue to thrive. One of the biggest shows sees contestants thrown together, isolated and willingly eating testicles and sometimes anus. That’s right, Married At First Sight continues to go from strength to strength.’

Sam’s return comes after his first Logies as host scored an impressive 877,000 viewers in the TV ratings.

The 2024 Logies broadcast, meanwhile, was another massive hit for Seven

According to Sunday night’s OzTam ratings, the awards show was the most popular program on free-to-air with a huge national reach of 3,351,000, with a national audience of 1,338,00.
