Hughesy's damning tirade over the Logies
Dave Hughes has launched into a damning rant live on air over the annual Logie awards, saying he was disappointed to not be invited to this year's ceremony.
Hughesy has hosted and presented the opening monologue of the Logies several times in past years, but even that wasn't enough to score him an invite to the 2024 awards that happened on Sunday.
The comedian and radio and TV regular appeared on The Fox’s Fifi, Fev & Nick on Tuesday, where he launched into a tirade over being snubbed at the event.
“I’ve enjoyed doing the Logies in the past … and look, I wasn’t invited on Sunday night. So, I was just at home, yeah,” Hughes explained.
“So you don’t even get invited if you’re a past host? I thought there’d be a table for you,” host Nick Cody asked.
“I hosted it four times in a row and no invite. No invite! Not even an invite!” responded Hughes, before jokingly shouting: “The amount of losers in that room! I presented for 20 years in a row and didn’t even get an invite.”
Brendan Fevola pointed out, “You’ve got no shows on TV though, why would you get invited?”
“Mate, I pop up on things. I pop up on things! I’m a pop-up guy!” Hughes hit back.
Hughesy's Logies snub comes just two weeks after his radio show was abruptly axed, with breakfast show hosts Hughes, Ed Kavalee and Erin Molan sharing a statement about their sudden departure from 2DayFM.
"We've loved our time together on 2DayFM Breakfast, however, due to some of our families living in different cities we are unable to commit to 2025, so with a heavy heart we are moving aside so 2DayFM can find the team to take them forward in Breakfast," the co-hosts said.
"We are so grateful to Sydney for their support, and to double the number of listeners in three years is something we are immensely proud of, and we will miss each and every one of them."
