As one third of Have You Been Paying Attention?’s regular line-up, Sam Pang has been making audiences laugh since the show’s inception – and well before that, too!
Starring alongside Ed Kavalee and Tom Gleisner, the 47-year-old has developed quite the fan club. After all, who doesn’t love a man who can make you laugh with his dry wit?

It turns out Sam isn’t just a comedian but also a talented presenter and footballer.
Before making a name for himself in TV and radio, Sam was actually a footy player for the Collingwood under-19s team. He also played country football for Tasmania and regional Victoria.
Urged on by his friends, Sam landed his first gig in radio at 28-years-old hosting Breakfasters on the 3RRR station.
In 2009, Sam made his TV debut with a hosting stint on history quiz show ADbc on SBS One, which aired for a year.
It was followed up by taking the helm of SBS’s One’s coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest alongside Julia Zemiro. He continued to host Eurovision until 2017 when Myf Warhurst and Joel Creasey stepped into the roles.
In 2013 Have You Been Paying Attention? burst onto our screens on Channel 10. With Tom and Ed by his side, Sam’s profile quickly grew.
Soon after, in 2016, he joined the Nova 100 breakfast show Chrissie, Sam, & Browny as one of its hosts.
When it comes to the comedian’s personal life he keeps details pretty low-key and interviews sparse.
While we do know he has a wife and daughter, Sienna, not much is known about the star’s family.
He did let slip in a 2021 interview that his daughter’s birth was one of the happiest days of his life. Beyond this, we know nothing about the Pang family, and we have yet to see a single photo!
