Logies 2023: Conspiracy theories spread after Sam Pang goes 'missing' from TV following his take-no-prisoners hosting gig
Sam Pang was hailed as one of the best Logies hosts in ages following his debut at last month's awards.
But the 49-year-old funnyman has not been seen on TV since the broadcast, leading some fans to suggest the comedian has been silenced after he savaged some of Australia's biggest entertainment names during his appearance.
In the last week Sam has missed his regular gigs on The Front Bar and Have You Been Paying Attention?
'Did TV Week take out Sam because of some of the jokes he made at the Logies?,' one fan messaged on social media, amongst other viewers who asked: 'Where's Sam?'
Sam's blistering gags during the Logies included such high profile targets as Channel Nine's Karl Stefanovic and retired Sunrise host David Koch.

Meanwhile, the Adelaide Advertiser reports that Seven has explained Sam's absence, saying the fan favourite is taking a break and 'will return in a few weeks', to the AFL talk show, The Front Bar.
According to Sam's representatives, the publication says, he booked travel insurance ahead of the Logies broadcast.

He was a big hit with viewers thanks to his blistering series of gags.
Pang took a aim at everything from gross reality TV to the scandalous private lives of celebrities.
Sam's opening monologue included a dig at Married at First Sight, saying the controversial reality show is 'a clear sign we'll not make it a species'.
He also joked about commercial TV's lack of diversity.
'I'm the first host in the history of the Logies to be half and half - half Channel Seven, half Channel Ten.
Seven's Logies broadcast was a major success for the network after they snatched up the broadcast rights from Channel Nine last year.

'Let's be honest, it's just great to have an Asian on Channel Seven, who isn't trying to smuggle live birds through border security.'
But he saved a particularly sharp crack for Karl Stefanovic and his infamous Noosa brawl involving cricket great Michael Clarke.
'Karl Stefanovic said yes, as long as the show was held in a park in Noosa,' Sam quipped after joking that the television host was offered a chance to host the Logies.
