Sam was recruited as the new Sunrise weather presenter in January 2016, replacing Edwina Bartholomew, a position he has held ever since. Mac is well-known for his distinct presentation style. He has successfully stamped his inventiveness on the role with a combination of self-deprecating humour and surprising pranks. Notable achievements include re-releasing “Strawberry Kisses” with Nikki Webster, beginning his cat Coco’s modeling career with the release of “Pussweek” magazine, and completing an Australia A-Z trip of towns across the country in 2018.
Sam was named a Gold Logie Nominee in June 2019, an honor given to the most popular presenter on Australian television. Tom Gleeson, a comedian, was the final winner. Sam came at the Gold Coast ceremony wearing a green velvet suit and on a moveable throne, flanked by his mother Loretta and rescue cat Coco.
Mac was one of eight male celebrities that stripped naked for The Real Full Monty, a prime time show on the Seven Network in 2018. The show’s message was to encourage men to see a doctor and take better care of their health. Sam’s relationship to the show was centered on mental health. Shane Jacobson, Jett Kenny, and Kris Smith were among the celebs that did a striptease in front of over 1,000 admirers at Sydney’s Enmore Theatre. The show was a critical and commercial triumph.
McMillan also produced two seasons of Sam Mac’s Single Bed, a low-budget comedy/variety television show hosted from Sam’s actual flat in front of a small audience in his kitchen that broadcast on Aurora Community Television on Channel 31 and Foxtel. ‘Lights, Camera, Maction!’ is McMillan’s own YouTube series. Andy Lee, Charlie Pickering, Dave Hughes, Peter Helliar, Tom Ballard, Bondi Vet, and others appear in this comic series.
