As the TV Week Logie Awards moved into the 1990s, the production values soared, with even bigger musical numbers, lavish sets, special effects and more elaborate comedy set-ups. And perennial host Bert Newton was passing on the torch to a new generation of entertainers and comedians to take on hosting duties.

In 1992, Daryl Somers, accustomed to working with a stuffed pink ostrich, was paired with a brash little puppet named Agro (performed by entertainer Jamie Dunn). As you'll see from the clip, certain challenges arise when Daryl asks Agro to announce the winner of the Logie Award for Best Television Miniseries.

It’s an unusual choice to have a puppet read out award winners, but the largely unscripted banter between Daryl Somers and Agro goes down well with the live audience. The camera only has to stay on the duo and allow the anarchy to take place for it to be engaging viewing.

In 2026, Dunn’s widow Maree donated the original Agro puppet to the NFSA collection.
