The original show was Santo and Ed anyway.\u2019 I\u2019m really looking forward to that show, it\u2019ll be great to have them back, having a show to guide us through the World Cup.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I\u2019m trying to space (TV appearances) out. I am very wary of how much I\u2019m doing, and when they\u2019re on. The shows I\u2019m on, I\u2019m very lucky to be on, and I love doing them. Some people say \u2018Jeez you\u2019re on a lot of shows.\u2019 I say \u2018That\u2019s fine. Just tell me which one you want me to get rid of?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This year Pang also turned down hosting the Logies for a fourth time, recently revealing, \u201cIf any of the shows are nominated, and I\u2019m lucky enough to get an invite, then I\u2019ll absolutely go along. That\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Appearing on four channels in one week, no wonder Sam Pang is now on a break.
