Sam Pang
“All of them came up with better questions than I would ask me!” Sam Pang might have new talk show, but in this edition, The Big Issue vendors are the ones asking the questions. What’s the best thing about working with funny people? How do you deal with fear? When is Carlton finally going to win a flag? What’s your favourite meal? These are just some of the Big Questions vendors had for late-night TV’s newest host with the most.
