The Hot Breakfast

The Hot Breakfast was an Australian breakfast radio show on Triple M Melbourne hosted by Eddie McGuire and Luke Darcy. The show began on Monday, 7 September 2009. Former SBS sports broadcaster Mieke Buchan and comedian Tony Moclair were part of the inaugural team.

The show aired from 6 am to 9 am on weekday mornings and merged sport, comedy and music with a more talkback style of radio. The show finished on 27 November 2020.

The Hot Breakfast format is based on the Grill Team format pioneered by Triple M Melbourne in the early 1990s, merging sport, comedy and music with a more talkback style of radio. AFL football is often a popular topic on the show given that the show is based in Melbourne and that the hosts are all involved with clubs or as AFL broadcaster – McGuire is Collingwood president and an analyst and commentator, while Darcy not only played for the Western Bulldogs but is an AFL broadcaster for Triple M and Seven Network.

Former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and Victorian Premier John Brumby were the first guests on the show. [citation needed]

Steve Vizard filled in for McGuire for two weeks whilst McGuire was hosting the Nine Network's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics. [citation needed]

Mick Molloy filled in for Luke Darcy in October 2010 while he was hosting the 2010 Commonwealth Games and joined the show permanently in 2011.

In July 2017, Triple M announced that Molloy would host a new national drive show with Jane Kennedy called Kennedy and Molloy across the Triple M network in 2018. Molloy finished on the show on Friday 6 October 2017.

In September 2017, Wil Anderson was announced as Molloy's replacement. Anderson started on the show on 23 October. He remained on the show until his resignation on 6 December 2019.
