Speaker 2 (00:03):
Paying attention ed its final episode for the year last Monday,
which just means one incredible thing. Sampagn Tonight is back
on our screens tonight, the host with the most sampang.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
Hello. Here he is, Hello Amanda, Hello Jonesy, and he
is a warm, warm introduction, beautifully read thank you, a.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Warm hand on your opening, as they like to say.

Speaker 1 (00:27):
Well yeah, well thanks, just it's wonderful. I wish I
wish I was in the studio with you. I'm sorry, Well.

Speaker 3 (00:32):
That's a Sam. It's okay. You're a busy man, You're
a go getter.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
And so tell me what's happening this season? What are
you what are you thinking? Are you going to be
your targets? Is it going to be a different target
every week? Have you got themes?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Talk us through it?

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Did you see any of season one?

Speaker 3 (00:47):
I did?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
I did you know?

Speaker 1 (00:49):
Or targets? This isn't if I'm not the It's like
a it's an old fashioned Tonight show where I'm just
you know, I'll start with a monologue and I'll have
a wonderful guest announce it. It's Ray oh Leary Tonight,
and then I've got a there's segments and obviously there's
a wheel. You know, you need a wheel, and then
we've got Rogio o'donald on tonight. So you know, I'm
just you know, we just I just think I'm going
to try to have you know, fun and now we

(01:12):
learned some lessons from season one. But I think the
big you know, that's the fact that my name is
still in the title. I think that's that's a good
sign for me, do you know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (01:19):
It's not Osha Ginsburg.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Tonight featuring Sam Page, but Sam, I do have to
admire the balls on you, if you don't mind me
saying that that, Like, for example, at the logos, you
look straight at Richard Marks and you just kind of
slagged him off spectacularly and said obviously he's answered the
phone on the first ring, and how desperate he was
to come on to Australia where he knows nothing. How

(01:43):
do you look at people and do that. I'm very
full of admiration.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
I think I think that it's it's you. You know,
you both know me. It's there's no means, it's not
mean spirited, it's just we're just, you know what, I think,
it's never mean spirited and we're are trying to have fun. So,
for instance, that example with Richard Marx, how how boring
is it for me to stand there at the lows
and go, hey, the great Richard Marx is here, you know,

(02:10):
a legend of music. How wonderful, welcome to the country. Now.

Speaker 3 (02:15):
Yeah, but this is what we do. And Amanda does
this on her own.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
I don't know if you've seen her Keith Urban interview,
but she kept peppering questions a year ago about Nicole Kidman,
and I could tell that Keith didn't want.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
To talk about his missus.

Speaker 4 (02:31):
And it got to a point where I was almost
going to say, he doesn't want to talk about his missus.
But Amanda's like a copper, you know, she goes into
this interrogation stage.

Speaker 3 (02:40):
Do you Is that how you work as well? Like
you are you aware of what you're doing?

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Yes, I've always I've always thought that one of the
main differences between me and Amanda is that I have
a general awareness of my surroundings, as opposed to Amanda,
who's just the queen is here. Get out of them away,
I'm going to talk and just you know, get behind
me or get out of the way. I like the
idea that the idea of that Nicole was referred to

(03:07):
as as a missus funny that I enjoyed that a lot.
But no, I don't think I'm a great interrogrator. I
don't thin I'm a great interviewer. I have a natural curiosity.
Hopefully that comes out. But this is the Tonight show
means at least I get a, you know, a chance
to have a bit more time one on one with
the guests as opposed to the other shows I'm on.
You know, you've got to you've got to share it,

(03:27):
which is good, by the way, because most of the time,
all those other people around me, which Amanda has done
often on having been paying attention, is they just get
me out of trouble.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
How do you feel with the Jimmy Kimmel situation? Do
you feel that talk show hosts are a bit of
an endangered species?

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Maybe over there the idea Jonesy that alb I will
be watching on the Tonight show on Channel ten and
see me do a joke about him and then ring
up the station as they get him off. Maybe it
just it just seems unrealistic. And also, by the way,
you two what are the what are the chances of
him being in the country to actually see the show?
So you know what I mean. I think I'm safe.

Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think you're safe though.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Don't rile up Bob Catter whatever you do.

Speaker 4 (04:05):
Oh yeah, well, and I don't think Bob needs anyone
to rile him up.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
He's just got himself.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
He's really got to switch it, don't he You can't pick.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
I'd like to get Bob and Pauline Hansen together in
a room and just talk about and throw stub subjects
at him like coal's, paper bags and things like that,
and to see how it all, how it all lands.

Speaker 1 (04:24):
Definitely, I definitely watch and listen to that. That would
be amazing. I seven minutes before they tad and said
that you and got you out of that room.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
That's a sh I'm dream of being tasted formerly noticed.

Speaker 4 (04:37):
I'm a celebrity. Get me out of here, was Sam.
