Sam Pang has hinted at a return to hosting the TV Week Logie Awards next year.
The comedian, 49, made headlines for his hosting stint at this year’s ceremony after he savaged 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 Monday’s episode of Have You Been Paying Attention?, after he made an off-hand remark about next year’s event.
When quizzed on whether there was a chance he will return to host the Logies in 2024, Sam replied: ‘I am hoping to do it.’
Fellow panelist Marty Sheargold immediately joked that Pang had shared his hopes too early, suggesting Channel 7 may be now turned off hiring him again.

Backtracking, Pang replied: ‘I may not be doing it, who knows what will happen next year, you know what I mean?’
‘I’m very busy. In demand. I might have a shift at the bottle shop that night,’ he joked.
