I loved watching the Paul Hogan Show growing up and still think about Leo the Wanker to this day
and who could forget Delvene geez !!!
Rest gently old son you've earnt it

I agree with everything you say southerner.  He bought a lot of laughs to Australian TV.

crocodile dundee(s) too

Gee sad news mate.
John Cornell was a great West Aussie.
Daily News journo, World Series Cricket, Paul Hogan Show, Delvene Delaney, Crocodile Dundee, Byron Bay Hotel etc it goes on and on.....

A real icon of Australian entertainment and humour, RIP.

Agree with all that has been said. RIP.

And Delvine Delaney proves you dont have to be a hunk to get great looking women

Absolute comic and writing genius, we won't see the likes of that show again. He wrote most of the show, and crocodile dundee.

made a fortune with pubs and property and worked with packer for WSC.

Kalgoorlie born and grew up in Bunbury.

been very sick for a long time and was out of the public eye, his last appearance in an add for his pub with Hoges.

and it was a celebrity marriage with delvene that survived the test of time.

you wonder whether the Paul Hogan Show would pass the 2 minute mark with PC of nowadays mate - genuinely funny stuff
and so was that first Dundee 

With Croc Dundee when he was trying to make the movie he approached a number of the Aussie WSC players who he knew very well and who were then on big money, to invest in the project, I know Lilley and Marsh both did and they killed the pig big time when the movie was an international hit.

Nothing from that era would , which is why there is zero decent comedy on the tele anymore.
