The ‘half Channel Seven, half Channel Ten’ master of deadpan quips is donning the tuxedo to host the Logies for a second time
He makes it look easy. Sam Pang might be delivering delightfully deadpan quips on Ten’s comic quiz show,Or ribbing his co-hosts and a bouncy parade of AFL greats on Seven’s sports panel show,. Or donning a tux – for the first time in his life – to host the Logies. Until his triumph last year, that was a gig widely regarded as a poisoned chalice given its damaging impact on some previous MCs.
The Logies role, which he’s set to take on again, means that he has to talk about himself and his work more than he’d like. For this high-profile assignment, he’s in the spotlight on his own, initially for the crucial monologue which ideally warms the room, gets the assembled audience onside and establishes an upbeat mood for the proceedings.
Pang’s hosting debut came in a year marked by changes. The ceremony returned to Sydney after 37 years and to Seven for the first time since 1995. It hadn’t had an MC since 2012, relying instead on a roster of presenters. And it was the first time in its 63-year history that it was hosted by a non-white male.
