Report: Shane Bourne to host Logies

Shane Bourne has signed on to host the Logie Awards, according to a media report today.

Ok thrillseekers, Shane Bourne has signed on to host the Logie Awards, the Sunday Telegraph reports today.

The news follows an earlier rumour about Bourne fronting the annual event recently published by the Sunday Herald Sun.

Bourne is well regarded by the industry for both comedic and dramatic skills, but he isn’t recognised as a personality of the host broadcaster, Channel Nine. But with City Homicide (the show that still hasn’t been axed) and Thank God You’re Here no longer in production he isn’t currently signed to Seven.

The other unknown is whether there are any additional hosts, as adopted from 2005 – 2008.

The Sunday Tele also reports Hamish Blake and Andy Lee, are expected to be involved “in some capacity” -both have previously hosted backstage antics of the Logie nights.

Last year’s official announcement of the host was on March 15th but tomorrow’s magazine isn’t expected to confirm any hosting.

  1. @Shannon: Age isn’t the reason I didn’t want Bert to host. I would be rapt if Shaun Micallef, for instance, were to host. But Bert has hosted, not once or twice, but 20 times, going back as early as 1967 and as recent as last year. It would be a very safe bet to have Bert host again since he’s proven a popular Logies host, but I for one would prefer it if they gave someone else a go.

  2. I would’ve gone with Hamish and Andy as the hosts. Would be a good promo for their upcoming new show and they are probably the most popular comedians in the country at the moment.

  3. @ Chris , Bert Is a legend and age should not prevent him from being able to host the logies , I’m sick of people who bag seasoned performers , It does get very tired .
