Robert Irwin has been announced as a host for several major Australian television projects. He is scheduled to host the 66th annual TV Week Logie Awards on August 16, 2026. At 22 years old, he will be the youngest presenter in over two decades and the first host to be nominated for the Gold Logie in the same year, following nominations in 2024 and June 2026. Irwin has stated that hosting the ceremony is a way to “pay tribute to his late father, Steve Irwin,” who was previously inducted into the Logies Hall of Fame. He aims to use his roles to bridge the gap between traditional television and younger digital-media ~~audiences, noting~~ audiences. On August 16, Irwin made history as the youngest host in the history of the Logie Awards. His debut featured an energetic opening dance and a ~~desire to make traditional Australian TV culture feel relevant~~ monologue joking that his usual environment involves “apex predators and venomous snakes” rather than a television stage. Public and critical reception was mixed; while some social media users criticized the opening as “awkward or uninspired,” others, including actors Emily Weir and Sophie Dillman, praised his confidence and charm. Despite the varied reactions to his ~~age group.~~ hosting style, Irwin concluded the night by winning the Bert Newton Award for most popular presenter for ‘I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!’. Beyond the Logies, Irwin is set to join Georgie Tunny and Beau Ryan as a host for the rebooted Australian Ninja Warrior series on Channel 10, slated for 2027.
