    Default Aussie TV Pioneer Jimmy Hannan Dead At 84

    Australian television icon Jimmy Hannan has died following a short battle with cancer. He was 84.

    The actor, singer and Gold Logie winner appeared in dozens of programs during a career that spanned more than 30 years, including as a host on game and variety shows in the 1960s and 1970s.




    I have a vague recollection of him doing radio as well.

    R.I.P. Jimmy.

    Went past a circus the other day and thought whether Jimmy was still with us or not. Why a circus, as he bought one and was the Ring Master, do not know if he was still doing it of late
    By memory he was the first male i ever saw cry on tv, thought to myself what a wimp, now everyone cries on tv, even Roger Fedora
    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"

    Yeah, I can remember him having something to do with a circus.

    Remember his daughter Melissa ? She was Miss Australia in 81. I can remember getting a boner over her when I was 12/13
