Every Aussie celebrity that Sam Pang targeted during his Logies monologue.

Sam Pang has quickly established himself as everyone's favourite unhinged host, and his return to the TV Week Logies stage in 2025 proved exactly why we can all get around his hosting style.

The 65th TV WEEK Logie Awards lit up The Star Sydney on August 3, 2025, with Pang delivering his third consecutive year hosting Australian television's night of nights — and he certainly went out swinging.

True to his warning ahead of the ceremony, Pang took aim at celebrities throughout his opening monologue, proving that his advice for attendees to "laugh along" was well-founded.

"I think it's in their best interest just to laugh along, otherwise they're the story about how they can't take a joke! [They] should enjoy it, it's not mean-spirited, I'm having fun," he said in a chat with Fox's Fifi, Fev & Nick.

At the ceremony last year, he directed several barbs in his monologue at Matt O'Kine, Raygun, Leanne Rimes, and The Wiggles. And in the same vein, his 2025 monologue targeted another group of high-profile personalities – from Hamish Blake to Sonia Kruger. – continuing his tradition of sparing no one. 

The Have You Been Paying Attention panellist had joked in the lead-up that this could be his last time as host, saying: "Three strikes and you're out".

If that's the case, he certainly made his final hosting gig count.

Whether this truly was Pang's final hosting gig remains to be seen, but if so, he certainly left his mark on Australian television's night of nights. 

In case you missed it, here are all the celebs Sam Pang targeted during his Logies monologue. 

Kerri-Anne Kennerley.

"This is my third time hosting so hopefully that's enough for Kerry Anne Kennerly to stop calling me Ahn Do."

Bluey.

"Bluey is massive in the United States and is officially the most-watched children's program in America, just ahead of a school shooting safety video."

Ray Martin.

"I'd like to point out that there's a new award this year: the Ray Martin Award for Most Popular News or Public Affairs Reporter. Of course, named after the legend Ray Martin, a journalist for over 60 years."

"Even at the age of 80, he remains one of this country's most inquisitive minds. Ray is always asking questions. Even tonight, I saw him on the red carpet and he asked me, 'Sam, where am I ?' Ray, have a great night, rest in peace."

Farmer Wants A Wife.

"Farmer Wants A Wife, which has an incredible success rate. Over its 15 seasons, the show has resulted in 11 marriages and 27 children, meaning it is now officially the main way for farmers in this country to get screwed outside of Coles and Woollies."

Married At First Sight. 

"This season of MAFS was criticised for breaching ethical standards – producers strongly defending themselves saying every contestant had to undergo a Mental Health evaluation, an STI test, and an IQ test, and if they failed all of those, they were on the show."

"We all know MAFS is famous for its debaucherous dinner parties – I never miss a Sunday night, and I've actually got an idea for next season. I think they should cast the mushroom lady as the caterer."

Channel 10.

"Channel Ten replaced The Project with 10News+, which is like the Titanic being replaced with the OceanGate Submarine."

Dancing With The Stars.

"Game shows and quiz shows are all the rage. One of the most popular is Dancing with the Stars, where viewers try to guess which one is the dancer, and which one is the star."

Richard Marx.

"The Voice is about to launch its 14th season. New coaches include Sporty Spice Mel C and Richard Marx. What are the odds of both of them being available? Richard, welcome and I hope you have a wonderful night. Big fan, but I think we both know you answered the phone on the first ring."

Larry Emdur.

"After a hugely popular win last year, Larry Emdur is not nominated for Gold this year. Many people have questioned why? Well, it hurts me to say Larry, but frankly, the industry just couldn't afford the optics of you being the gold standard for two years in a row."

"Larry goes from winner to not even nominated. Hard to think of a Channel 7 game show host with a bigger fall from grace in recent years. Anyway, have a good night and enjoy the free feed."

Sonia Kruger.

"Last year, Larry Emdur famously promised that if he won, he'd have the names of the other Gold nominees tattooed on his behind. This year, Sonia has promised that if she wins, she'll deliver a coherent speech."

Lynne McGranger.

"Lynne McGranger is nominated after 33 years on Home and Away. As we all know, Lynne is leaving the show and there's a lot of speculation about how her character, Irene, will depart."

"Lynne has been working with the writers on her farewell story, and in a Logies exclusive I can reveal that Irene is set to die tragically but happily, during an orgy with the Summer Bay Under 21s rugby team. A story as old as time."

Julia Morris. 

"Julia Morris is nominated again for Gold. This funny, talented woman has been nominated several times for the Gold Logie, but never won. I said those exact words last year and I must remember to use them again next year. I have it on good authority that I won't be here next year. Don't worry."

Lisa Millar.

"Lisa Millar from the ABC is nominated for the first time. Lisa is the host of Muster Dogs and Muster Dogs: Where Are They Now? I have to say, Lisa, I don't know if I've ever been less interested in the answer to a question."

Ally Langdon. 

"Ally Langdon from Channel 9 is up for Gold. One of Australia's pre-eminent journalists for over 20 years, Ally has said a vote for her is a vote for all the incredible people who make A Current Affair possible: the producers, the crew, the dodgy plumbers, Casanova conmen and the neighbours from hell."

Hamish Blake.

"Two-time winner Hamish Blake is nominated again for Lego Masters. I voted for Hamish, not because I don't support women, but because I want to see him deliver the most awkward acceptance speech of all time. Hamish, good luck, and now you know how it feels to be the diversity hire." 

Poh Ling Yeow. 

"Poh Ling Yeow, is nominated for Gold. Poh would be the first Asian to take home Gold since prospector Chung Lee Wong struck gold in Ballarat in 1854. Good to have a horse in the race. Many of you may not know, but Poh and I go way back to the Ming dynasty."
