What is Sam Pang Tonight’s new TV show about?
As Channel 10 puts it, Sam Pang Tonight is “something refreshingly familiar” — a classic tonight show.
Filmed in front of a live audience, it’ll have all the usuals: a monologue both on the week’s news, interviews with local and international guests, and plenty of laughs with Sam’s comedy mates.
“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,” said Daniel Monaghan, SVP Content and Programming for Paramount Australia, at the Channel 10 Upfronts.
“Sam’s quick wit has kept Aussies laughing for years, and we know his fresh new program will give audiences exactly what they want.”
And really, who doesn’t love a good tonight show?
When does Sam Pang Tonight air?
Fans can tune into the eight-episode season of Sam Pang Tonight on Mondays from around 8:30pm (after Australian Survivor) on Channel 10 and 10play.
Will Sam keep his gig on other shows?
Yes! Ten confirmed that Sam’s new role won’t affect his spot as a panellist on the Logie-winning Have You Been Paying Attention? with host Tom Gleisner.
So, while Sam Pang Tonight is his latest project, rest assured he’s not going anywhere.
So, whether you’re tuning in for the monologue, the guests, or just Sam himself, it looks like Monday nights are officially sorted.
