Formerly a rigger working on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, Hogan rose to fame in the early 1970s presenting a comedy segment in the otherwise serious current affairs series A Current Affair. Hogan followed this with his own comedy sketch programme, The Paul Hogan Show, which he produced, co-wrote, and in which he played a panoply of comedic characters with John Cornell. The series, which ran for 60 episodes between 1973 and 1984, proved to be popular both in his native country and in the UK, and showcased his trademark lighthearted but laddish "Aussie" humour. In 1985, Hogan was awarded Australian of the Year and was also inducted into the Order of Australia.

During the 1980s Hogan appeared on British television in a long-running series of advertisements for Foster's Lager, in which he played an earthy Australian abroad in London. The character's most notable line (spoken incredulously at a ballet performance) "strewth, mate, there's a bloke down there with no strides on!" followed Hogan for years, and the popularity of its "fish out of water" humour was repeated with his next endeavour.
