There isn't a corner of this country that he hasn't performed in.On ABC-TV's The Weekly, Tom's segment Hard Chat beget his own show Hard Quiz, which not only blitzes the ratings as it enters its eleventh season, but also earned Tom Australian television's gong of gongs – the Gold Logie, which rubs against his 5 AACTAs on his very crowded trophy shelf.Given his natural disdain for the public, Tom couldn't resist the chance to apply it to his fellow comedians as the host of Network Ten's sixth season of Taskmaster Australia.
