Gold Logie winner Larry Emdur has followed through on his promise to get a tattoo on national TV.
Ahead of the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards Larry told news.com.au that if he were to win the top trophy, he’d get a tattoo on his bum during The Morning Show.
“I’m so confident I won’t win, I’ll happily get all the nominees’ name initials tattooed on my a*** on the show on Monday [if I do win]” he told the publication.
Fans tuned into the show with bated breath to see if Larry would stick to his word. And, being the Australian icon he is, the TV host got inked up.
Larry Emdur’s Gold Logie tattoo
A tattoo artist from Bondi Ink arrived on The Morning Show on Monday, and put together a design for Larry which featured the initials of the fellow nominees he beat; Tony Armstrong, Andy Lee, Sonia Kruger, Robert Irwin, Julia Morris, and Asher Keddie.
“Kylie [Gillies], I can’t see what’s happening,” Larry told his co-host as he stretched out on the tattoo bed.
“Is this what it is like being in those rooms in Border Security,” he joked.
Larry explained to viewers what his new tattoo looked like.
“Basically, it’s a little line drawing of a Logie holding the TV and within the TV are the initials of the other wonderful nominees who were up for a Gold Logie last night,” he explained as the artist was tattooing him.
Larry won his first two Logies in 2024
Larry has been a TV host since 1993, and over the years he’s hosted a variety of shows including The Price is Right, Hey Hey It’s Saturday and Wheel of Fortune.
He’s hosted The Morning Show alongside Kylie since 2007. However, despite his lengthy TV career, Larry had never won a Logie until the 2024 Awards Ceremony.
Larry received two awards at the 64th TV WEEK Logie Awards; the Gold Logie and the Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter.
