Sam Newman exposes himself on The Footy Show (again).
Video: Sam Newman's genitals were flashed during the Footy Show live, while a buxom nurse played the part.

Less than 10 minutes into The Footy Show‘s broadcast from Adelaide last night and the show was already in hot water, with Sam Newman’s genitals on display once again.
Newman, 69, was wheeled on stage in a hospital bed by a scantily-clad, buxom Nurse. When she assisted him in getting out of the bed underneath his hospital gown, Newman’s genitals were quickly flashed.
While it was presumably accidental, it was no accident when he later flashed his backside to the audience. But a key question will be: why it was necessary for a presenter to be without underwear for the skit?
The nurse also played along when Billy Brownless “dropped” a pen on the floor and asked the young woman to pick it up, which attracted plenty of criticism on social media for “respecting women.”
The scenes have already attracted headlines in today’s media, especially given both Newman and the M-rated show have been repeat offenders.
Newman’s genitals were infamously exposed on the show in 2001 when he was “dacked” on air by Shane Crawford.
In 2009 Newman and The Footy Show were put on a 6 month ACMA “watch-list” following Newman’s infamous “mannequin” stunt provoking severe ridicule against sports journalist Caroline Wilson. Amongst his other string of misdemeanours were homophobic comments made earlier this year.
In 2010 Nine gave a 2 year undertaking to ACMA to pay $200,000 to charities if Sam Newman breached the Code of Practice, after he provoked ridicule towards a Malaysian man.
WARNING: Nudity

This just shows the bottom of the barrel nature of the crappy show
Channel Nine cut the “one second of nudity” out of the Sydney coverage when it aired late last night.
Newman and Nine should get fined because of the nudity (and that they didn’t classify the show accordingly), but I didn’t find the incident all that offensive. If you blinked, you would have missed it. Silly that Newman didn’t wear anything under the costume, but it was an accident.
@magic007
The footy show used to be required viewing. The show now has a real slowness about it now with the 8.30pm starts and that blokey adolescent behaviour has become rather outdated. Its supposed to be a footy show. Not an I will expose myself (accidental or not) show.
@Jezza – Why “the usual leftie bunch”?
Does one’s political persuasion dictate whether or not they have an interest in seeing an old man’s genitalia on TV?
@magic007 I am with you on this. Just the usual leftie bunch wanting to stop other people watching something that they don’t watch themselves….go figure….
@jonno….Benny Hill is one of the all time great comedy shows…..and the main reason why I married a nurse….their uniforms have changed a little since Benny though!!
Classification didn’t indicate Nudity so that could be problematic.
On catch-up Nine has edited out the genitals but nothing else.
@magic007…How right you are,another storm in the teacup of Australia…
lmao look at all of you come out of the woodwork.
Didn’t even notice it the first time I saw it.
If you don’t like the show don’t watch it. It’s not hard.
What a sickening show, comedy yes, but knowing where to draw the line on national television is not one of channel 9’s traits, why do they allow such sketches and why do they keep this guy on their payroll, how desperate they must be.
I would prefer Nine to broadcast Footy Classified at 9.30 Thursdays. TFS is so yesterday. Belongs in The Benny Hill, Paul Hogan era where sexism was tolerated.
@Aaron If an old man exposing himself and a woman bending over to show what her mother gave her are your idea of a sense of humour, then I’m glad I don’t have one!
Hopefully the authorities step in and remove Newman. His sexist, racist, homophobic ways don’t belong on a show that is allegedly about Australian Rules Football.
Kerry Packer must be rolling in his grave this week.First it’s old Pommie hookers,now it’s old Sam’s privates.
At the 8 second mark in that clip Sam Newman’s actions with the girl look very disturbing indeed.
I can’t help but think of some of the stories that have recently come out about Rolf Harris’ on-set behaviour over the years.
Sorry Darcey09, crude stunts as this have no place on Aussie TV, except in perhaps an R rated program that airs after midnight. People watch this show because they have an interest in football, not this idiotic tripe. Privates aside, he shouldn’t be picking on the ill Port Adelaide players anyway.
He would’ve known there was a high chance he would expose himself given what he was wearing and the fact he had to get out of the bed which makes it inexcusable he wasn’t wearing underwear unless he intended to flash the audience on purpose.
I don”t understand why anybody watches this show. Nor do I understand why it’s still on the air. Disgraceful.
wish stupid people who have no sense of humor would just not watch the show rather than just whinge about it. Sam newman is awesome
Sam Newman exposes himself as a sad and creepy old man totally out of step with contemporary society (again). Why is he allowed to appear on national television in a sketch without his underpants on? Does this show have a producer? Nine has always had this strange, blokey, misogynistic culture that has facilitated this nonsense but they used to have some pride. Time he was retired.
I can’t believe I’m bothering to say this but didn’t someone else expose him last time? I struggle to understand how channel nine keeps it’s license.
The AFL Footy Show used to be funny and entertaining, now it is just tacky and full of giant ego’s. Get rid of it.
I really don’t know how he could’ve done this, having known that kids watch this show. What sort of sicko is he?
I usually have a cackle at the footy shows antics (when I find time to watch it), but this is beyond disgusting. Shame on Channel 9!
What complete and utter rubbish. Its why I don’t watch it accept for the few minutes Damien Barrett delivers his news segment. This show gets consistent 8.30ish start whereas footy classified starts at a random time between 9.50pm and 11pm. The episode is yet to be posted to channel nines catch up site and Damien Barrett’s news segment isn’t listed as a separate video as yet. So almost ten hours after the show aired and the one and only segment of interest isn’t available. So with another footy show controversy and that trashy show that delayed footy classified for an hour on Monday, channel nine have outdone themselves with their afl coverage this week…not.
I can’t believe people actually still watch this cr*p.
Real classy…
The Marngrook Footy Show is more sophisticated than the farcical The AFL Footy Show. The NRL Footy Show has had its share of woeful moments, but The AFL Footy Show, it still continues to remain on the bottom of the football programming ladder after every season.
I have not watched this since Eddie left, now I remember why……….
