Hamish & Andy
Hamish & Andy are an Australian comedy duo formed in 2003 by Hamish Blake and Andy Lee. Best known for their various drive time radio programmes on the Hit Network, which aired in multiple formats until 2017, their shows gained consistently high market share and became the highest rated radio show in Australian history. Retiring after 14 years of broadcasting, the duo now produce a weekly self-titled podcast once a week from March through to December and occasionally publish a secondary programme, the Remembering Project, to revisit their old radio segments in December through to the end of March.
The duo have also worked extensively in television, known as correspondents on Rove and for their various seasons of Hamish & Andy's Gap Year which won multiple Logie Awards including Most Popular Light Entertainment Program in 2012, 2014 and 2015.
They have made numerous appearances hosting events, competing on game shows and in celebrity sporting events. They also performed in a touring rock cover band, Cool Boys and the Frontman, throughout 2016 and 2017. The pair were ranked the highest-paid commercial radio hosts in Australia, with individual salaries of A$4 million, as of 2014.
Hamish Blake and Andy Lee met while both studying at the University of Melbourne in 2001. They entered comedy competitions together and just a year after meeting, they started their career in radio by hosting a show on community radio station SYN FM.
The duo began presenting radio on the Student Youth Network, initially hosting Cruise Control in the Monday afternoon timeslot during the station's test broadcasts in June 2002. They later co-hosted the station's Friday afternoon drivetime show The Buzz in 2003. Soon after Hamish began writing for the Fox FM breakfast show (The Matt & Jo Show), the pair began hosting a Monday night late-night radio program called Almost Tuesday on the same station. The duo then hosted the Fox FM program Almost Midday on Saturday mornings, which was so successful it was syndicated nationally across the Today Network.
In 2023, the duo announced on their Remembering Project podcast that they had retrieved various CDs containing content from Almost Midday and planned on adding them to their Hamish & Andy Unlimited subscription service for Apple Podcasts and their Libsyn-powered Android app.
The duo presented two radio specials on BBC 6 Music in the United Kingdom on 21 December 2009 and 26 January 2010. On Friday 11 June, it was announced on the Christian O'Connell Breakfast Show that Hamish & Andy would be presenting three shows in London during July 2010 to cover O'Connell's holiday. Hamish and Andy signed a deal to present a series of shows to air on Absolute Radio Sunday evenings.
The duo hosted a two-hour weekday radio show titled Hamish & Andy from 2006 to 2013. It was broadcast in all the seven major cities of Australia in the afternoon drive time slot. The show was the highest-rated radio series in Australian history, with approximately two million listeners daily. During its broadcast, the show had completed two domestic and two foreign caravan tours, a Bass Strait sailboat trip, and trips to Afghanistan, Beijing, Japan, India, and the US, recording live on location. They were also syndicated internationally, with a highlights package broadcast on BBC Radio 6 in December 2009. In 2010, they also presented three shows in London to cover Christian O'Connell on his breakfast show.
