Michael "Mick" Molloy (born 11 July 1966 in Canberra) is an Australian comedian, writer, producer and actor who has been active in radio, television, stand-up and film. He is on the Triple M Melbourne's breakfast show The Hot Breakfast and the Seven Network's one-hour AFL preview show on Saturday night during the football season.
Molloy grew up in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) before moving to Melbourne in the mid-1980s to study performing arts at the University of Melbourne, where he wrote and performed in his first live act in 1987. He attended The Peninsula School during his secondary/high school period. It was during Molloy's time at university that he met the Australian comedy troupe, The D-Generation (the future cast of The Late Show), that consisted of members who would later form Working Dog Productions; Molloy would also collaborate with members on several projects.
Molloy worked with the D-Generation as a writer-performer on their 1988 Seven Network specials (he had auditioned for the D-Gen in 1986, but it wasn’t until the troupe saw him in the 1987 Melbourne University revue, Laminex on the Rocks, that they signed him up). He also worked as a writer on the ABC's The Gerry Connolly Show (1988), the Network Ten series, The Comedy Company, in its 1989 season, and, while working on the (unscreened) pilots for The Late Show for the Nine Network (1990), Molloy was a cast member of ABC TV’s The Late Show (1992–1993) as a writer/performer. As well as pairing up with Tony Martin for each episode’s introduction and the Street Interviews segment, Mick co-hosted the segments Muckrakers with Jason Stephens and Commercial Crimestoppers with Santo Cilauro, played the thick-witted assistant of stuntman Rob Sitch in Shitscared, and performed in countless sketches (he provided the voices of Sergeant Olden in The Olden Days and Chief Chromedome in Bargearse). Molloy also delivered a series of volatile rants in the Mick’s Serve part of Late Show News.
