Crude clip that saw Doug Mulray TV show famously yanked off air by Nine boss Kerry Packer

Doug Mulray had his fair share of success and scandals in his career, including that infamous run-in with media mogul Kerry Packer.

Legendary Aussie breakfast radio host Doug Mulray had his fair share of success and scandals during his time on the airwaves – and his foray into televison was no different.

As the nation mourns the Triple M legend and true trailblazer following his death yesterday, his unapologetic antics live on with one particular TV moment remaining top of mind.

In 1992, Mulray was asked to host an episode of Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos on Channel Nine. One segment required him to introduce a clip of a boy pulling a kangaroo’s testicles – a move said to have angered then-network boss, Kerry Packer.

The media mogul reportedly called the studio, demanding they “get that sh*t off the air!” And what the boss wants, the boss gets with the episode abruptly pulled from screens nationwide mid-telecast after just 35 minutes.

The show was immediately replaced with re-runs of US sitcom Cheers.

“I am the first man in Australian history to be pulled off by Kerry Packer,” Mulray reportedly said on his radio show the next day.

Mulray was ultimately banned from Nine and the episode never saw the light of day for almost two decades. During his blockout period, the radio presenter deflected to Network Ten in 2002, making appearances on the chat show Beauty and the Beast.

Kerry Packer was angered over the episode and had it pulled from screens nationwide.

However, in 2008, three years after Packer’s death, Nine surprisingly salvaged the tape from its bunker and screened the episode for the nation in full. Among the crude clips aired was a granny using her false teeth to retrieve a birthday message from a stripper’s knickers and a dog trying to have sex with a cat.

Mulray also made a triumphant return to Nine in 2005 — the year of Packer’s death — in which the shock jock appeared as a judge on the talent program Starstruck.

“Uncle Doug” – as he was affectionalty known – passed away in intensive care in a Sydney hospital on Thursday, aged 71. His cause of death remains unknown, but it’s understood he had recently been battling poor health.
