"This series invites the viewer to draw up a chair and share in Sam’s wry observations on the week’s goings on and lively chats with his guests. No pressure, just enjoyment.” You can read the whole article here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gxwCZRdq. And watch last night's premiere on 10 Play 😂 https://lnkd.in/gmJtFkEJ #SamPangTonight #10Play #Network10
