Australian radio legend, comedian and presenter Doug Mulray has died aged 71.
Radio 2GB in Sydney announced the sad news early today.
No cause of death has been given at this stage, but it was reported he was admitted to hospital with what is believed to have been a chronic illness last December.
2GB’s Ben Fordham said today he “hadn’t been well for a while” and had spent the night of March 20, 2023, in intensive care.
Born on December 1, 1951, Mulray – who was known as “Uncle Doug” nationwide – began his career at 2AD in Armidale, before joining stations at Gosford in New South Wales and Melbourne.

Mulray rose to fame with Mulray & The Man in the mid-1970s on 3AW Melbourne, before moving to ABC’s Double J and then Triple M, where he spent the majority of his career, before signing off in 1999.
Mulray was also the man behind Nine Network’s Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos, broadcast in 1992.
“If there’s a radio station in heaven, they better get the dump button ready, because Doug Mulray is coming,” Fordham said.
