Appearing on four channels in one week, no wonder Sam Pang is now on a break.
Sam Pang recently made a guest appearance on Cup Fever alongside pals Santo Cilauro and Ed Kavalee, but is now enjoying a mid year break.
Pang has been starring in Ground Up on ABC, The Front Bar on Seven, Have You Been Paying Attention? on 10 as well as the SBS VICELAND guest appearance.
For the over-achieving under-achiever, he declined the Cup Fever role as he recently explained to TV Tonight.
“The Tonight Show is coming back at the end of the year after Have You Been Paying Attention?, so I thought, ‘Those two don’t need me, to be honest. The original show was Santo and Ed anyway.’ I’m really looking forward to that show, it’ll be great to have them back, having a show to guide us through the World Cup.
“But I’m trying to space (TV appearances) out. I am very wary of how much I’m doing, and when they’re on. The shows I’m on, I’m very lucky to be on, and I love doing them. Some people say ‘Jeez you’re on a lot of shows.’ I say ‘That’s fine. Just tell me which one you want me to get rid of?’”
This year Pang also turned down hosting the Logies for a fourth time, recently revealing, “If any of the shows are nominated, and I’m lucky enough to get an invite, then I’ll absolutely go along. That’s what I used to do. I used to go before the hosting. I would just go along and sit on a table and get drunk for five hours or six hours or however long the thing went. So I look forward to doing that this year.”
