Samuel Jonathan McMillan was editing the United Nations Youth Australia newsletter and studying law at Melbourne University when he realised that he was more interested in telling jokes than studying.
Fast forward 20 years and Sammy J is a household name. He hosts ABC Melbourne’s breakfast show, and his satirical videos are a fan favourite on ABC television. He’s an award-winning stand-up comedian, who also uses video and self-composed music in his work.
In this joyful conversation, Jamila Rizvi and Sammy J discuss juice boxes, Disney’s golden age and how much of yourself you really share with those around you.
