Sam "Sam Mac" McMillan is an Australian television host, weather presenter, and entertainer.
In 2010, Sam became a regular contributor to Network 10's 7pm Project (now The Project). On the show McMillan has been a field reporter, segment host and fill-in co-host. In July 2019, he featured on The Project's 10-year anniversary special.
In 2016, Mac began narrating the Seven Network series First Dates, and began hosting Best Bits.
In January 2016, Sam was appointed the new weather presenter on Sunrise replacing Edwina Bartholomew - where he has remained ever since. Mac is known for his unique style of presentation. A combination of self-deprecating humour and unpredictable stunts have seen him successfully stamp his creativity on the position. Notable achievements in the role include re-releasing "Strawberry Kisses" with Nikki Webster, launching his cat Coco's modelling career with the release of "Pussweek" magazine, and in 2018 completing an Australia A-Z trip of towns around the nation.
In June 2019, Sam was announced as a Gold Logie Nominee, an award for the most popular presenter on Australian Television. The eventual winner was comedian Tom Gleeson. Sam arrived at the ceremony on the Gold Coast wearing a green velvet suit riding a portable throne and accompanied by his mum Loretta and rescue cat Coco.
In 2018, Mac was one of eight male celebrities to bare all for The Real Full Monty, a prime time special on the Seven Network. The message behind the show was to encourage men to visit a doctor and pay better attention to their health. Sam's personal connection to the show was focused on mental health. The celebrities including Shane Jacobson, Jett Kenny and Kris Smith performed a stripping routine at Sydney's Enmore Theatre in front of more than 1,000 fans. The show was a critical and ratings success.
McMillan has also produced two seasons of Sam Mac's Single Bed, a low-budget comedy/variety television show hosted from Sam's actual apartment in front of a small audience in his kitchen, which aired on Channel 31 and Foxtel on Aurora Community Television.
