Corser is nominated for the big gong alongside other TV greats including comedian Tom Gleeson from Hard Quiz, superstar host Amanda Keller (DWTS, The Living Room), Sunrise weather presenter Sam ‘Mac’ McMillan, Neighbours’ star Eve Morey, The Project’s Waleed Aly and Gardening Australia’s Costa Georgiadis.
While he’s popular on TV, Corser isn’t confident he’ll take home a win.
“Look, three years in a row is great, the show is nominated every year. Third time lucky? I don’t know about that … I think Amanda’s got a really strong case and can’t dispel Tom Gleeson, in political terms you’d call him a kingmaker. But now he’s kingmaking himself [after threatening to cancel his show unless he wins the Gold Logie]. It’s almost a form of masturbation … He’s promoting himself. Who knows, I think it’s out of those two.”
Meanwhile, something he is sure about is the progression of his character.
“The role is great, this year is even more fun, the directive was to take a bad character and make it badder … Let’s take it as bad as we can go before the censor stops!”
He also gives fans a snippet of what to expect: “I’ve had a huge blast with it and new people can come on board this season … and there’s also something there for dedicated fans, the Doctor Doctor humour, heart, but we’ve turned it up.”
