Australian comedian and radio presenter Sam Pang’s new Channel 10 show Sam Pang Tonight has been renewed for a second season, mere weeks after the first began airing.
The Logies host has worked with the network for over 10 years, and viewers can expect more entertainment in the late-night talk show format.
“I’m thrilled to be coming back for Season 2. I’m very grateful to Channel 10 for their support and commitment to the show and giving me the opportunity to continue doing something I love,” Sam said about the renewal.
So, what can you expect from season two? Find out below.

What is Sam Pang Tonight?
Episodes of Sam Pang Tonight currently air every Monday on Channel 10 and 10 Play at 8:40pm.
So far, we have seen a funny take and roast of the weekly news cycle, entertaining segments, and guest appearances, which have included many of Sam’s comedic friends.
The next season, which will air later in the year, promises more news and laughs and guests. From what we know so far, the line-up of guests will include local legends, engaging experts, and comedy mates who will join as the Special Guest Announcer.
There’s been no confirmation if the Wheel of Segments will return, and there are plenty of people who want to be pushed into the Christmas tree. So, who knows what else will be in store?
Paramount’s SVP of Content Programming Daniel Monaghan said the network was “delighted” with the show’s success.
“Aussies are loving Sam’s signature comedy style so it’s no surprise Sam Pang Tonight was 10’s biggest new show launch since 2022,” he said.

How did Sam Pang Tonight come about?
New Idea first heard of Ten’s plans to have Sam host his own late-night chat show in June 2024.
A TV insider said he was the top choice, and it would combine the dynamics Graham Norton and Rove Live.
Sam, 51, has been on Ten’s books since 2013 when he became a regular panellist on Have You Been Paying Attention?
Despite his new show, fans will still see Sam as a panel regular alongside Ed Kavalee and host Tom Gleisner on the popular news quiz show.
“With Sam’s growing popularity and proven approval with audiences, Network Ten just can’t afford to lose him,” the source added at the time.
“This type of show is something he would love and keep him on the network.”
“It’s a big honour and a privilege,” Sam, 51, previously told our sister publication TV WEEK before the show aired, and said it would be “a lot of fun”.
“Sam Pang has been part of the 10 family for over a decade and we’re delighted to have commissioned his brand-new show for 2025,” Daniel said in 2024.
“Sam’s quick wit has kept Aussies laughing for years, and we know his fresh new program will give audiences exactly what they want.”

What other shows has Sam Pang been on?
Sam also has strong ties to other networks, namely Channel Seven, where he hosts The Front Bar with Mick Molloy and Andy Maher.
He also lent his talents to the network to host the TV Week Logie Awards in 2023 and 2024.
The comedian also hosted the Eurovision Song Contest alongside Julia Zemiro from 2009 until 2017 and was part of Chrissy, Sam & Browny on Nova100.
