Speaking about Sam Pang Tonight with Ten, Sam said: โ€œIโ€™m thrilled to bring a tonight show to Australian screens in 2025. Especially since Channel 10 passed on my pitch to reboot The Golden Girls.โ€

Sam Pang Tonight will premiere on Monday, March 17, 2025 at 8:40pm on Ten and 10Play, with eight episodes airing weekly.

The comedianโ€™s new show was first announced in mid-September 2024, when Channel Ten and Paramount+ collectively announced an abundance of TV shows for the new year that had viewers in a tizzy, including Big Brother, The Cheap Seats, Ghosts Australia, Iโ€™m A Celebrityโ€ฆ Get Me Out Of Here! Australia, Australian Survivor: Brains v Brawn II and many more.

While the comedian and the network have revealed few details about the segment, however, viewers should expect โ€œa monologue that both celebrates and roasts the weekโ€™s news.โ€

โ€œSam Pang has been part of the 10 family for over a decade and weโ€™re delighted to have commissioned his brand-new show for 2025,โ€ he said.

โ€œSamโ€™s quick wit has kept Aussies laughing for years, and we know his fresh new program will give audiences exactly what they want.

โ€œWe are currently in the final stages of development, and we canโ€™t wait to share it with viewers in the new year.โ€

Ten did reveal these new duties will not impact Samโ€™s pre-existing gig as a panellist on the Logie-winning Have You Been Paying Attention? with host Tom Gleisner and Ed Kavalee also returning.

Sam will also host The Front Bar with Andy Maher and Mick Molloy, returning on Wednesday March 5, 2025, at 7:30 on Seven and 7Plus Sport.

The Front Bar initially released one season in 2015, however, the segment didnโ€™t return. But the new season will see the three hosts share a laugh each week of the AFL seasons and catch up with nostalgic and modern stars.
