Sam Pang has opened the 64th TV Week Logie Awards at The Star, Sydney.
“It’s fair to say the major networks have all found themselves in the news this year,” he told the room.
Of Seven he joked, “Whatever I say this network will defend me in court…. I’m not getting paid tonight, instead they’ll pay my rent for the next 12 months.”
As Pang nodded to some of the nominees, it didn’t take long for the first Raygunn joke.
He also observed, Sigourney Weaver couldn’t attend after colliding with Peter Costello at Canberra airport….and he joked there would no auction of the Gold Logie this year which finished as a silent auction last year.
Of the Gold nominees he joked Larry Emdur’s audience is “nursing homes, hospitals and the long term unemployed” while a Robert Irwin win would be “a fitting end to 8 months in the industry.”
