Sam Pang has hinted at a return to hosting the TV Week Logie Awards next year.
The 49-year-old comedian made headlines for his appearance at this year’s ceremony after attacking some of Australia’s biggest entertainment names on stage.
In good news for fans, Sam suggested he could be back for a second round during an episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?
When asked if there was a chance he would return to host the Logies in 2024, Sam replied: “I hope to.”
Fellow panelist Marty Schirgold immediately joked that Pang had gotten his hopes up too soon, suggesting that Channel 7 may now be ruled out of hiring him again.

Sam’s opening monologue included a dig at Married at First Sight, saying the controversial reality show was “a clear sign we’re not going to turn it into a species”.
He also joked about commercial television’s lack of diversity.
