Crikey, What A Gig!
After months of speculation, Robert Irwin has officially been named host of the 2026 TV WEEK Logie Awards. The 22-year-old wildlife warrior will take over from Sam Pang, who hosted Australia’s biggest TV night for the past three years.
Robert said hosting the Logies is a huge honour, revealing he grew up watching the awards with his family.
No Stranger To The Logies
While it’s his first time hosting, Robert has a long history with the event. He received his first Logie nomination at just nine years old and later became one of the youngest stars ever nominated for a Gold Logie.

A Big Year For Robert
The announcement caps off a huge year for the TV personality, whose profile has continued to soar both in Australia and overseas.
From television appearances to wildlife conservation work, Robert has become one of the country’s most recognisable young stars.
