Sam Pang Tonight is an Australian talk show hosted by comedian Sam Pang that airs on Network 10. The series premiered on 17 March 2025. In April 2025, the series was renewed for a second season. A third season premiered on 19 October 2026.

Production

The series was first announced in September 2024, during Paramount/Network 10’s 2025 upfronts, where it was known only as “Untitled Sam Pang Project”. The second season, which consisted of eight episodes, aired and was filmed live between 13 October to 1 December 2025. The third season, again consisting of eight episodes, premiered on 19 October and will be filmed over eight weeks; however, unlike the previous seasons, episodes will be filmed on Sundays and will air on Mondays, rather than being filmed and aired on the same day.
