The night of nights for Australian television has started with a bang, with viewers full of praise for Sam Pang’s opening monologue at the 65th Annual TV WEEK Logie Awards.
It’s the third time Sam has hosted, and many Aussies tuning in at home have said they’re pleased to see him back on the main stage, applauding his “hilarious” speech to kick things off.
“Pang is going at it tonight. Hell yeah,” one Aussie wrote on X, while another claimed “Sam Pang was a good pick to host”. “Sam Pang nailing the intro monologue once again,” a third chimed in.

Sam Pang compared to Ricky Gervais after harsh jokes at Logies
However, the comedian was also likened to Ricky Gervais and his infamous speeches at the Golden Globes for his jokes being rather “cutthroat” towards those sitting in the room at The Star in Sydney.
Many referred to the jokes he made while acknowledging Gold Logie nominee Poh Ling Yeow, saying she would be “easy to spot in this room”. He took another swipe at the lack of diversity within the industry earlier in his speech by joking he hopes he soon won’t be called Anh Do, another beloved Asian TV personality and comedian.
“I’ve said ooffff at least four times already in Sam’s monologue,” another Aussie said online.
OMG, he just keeps coming. “You should be easy to spot in this room” to Poh! Making a statement. I hope Sam Pang DOES come back next year. #Logies2025 #Logies

Sam also made a controversial joke about recently convicted killer Erin Patterson, suggesting MAFS should “cast the mushroom lady as the caterer” for their reality show.
The speech has been so well received that Aussies are hoping he will return next year. However, Sam joked in his speech he has “on good authority” he won’t be.
We’ll have to wait and find out.
