Nine director of television Michael Healy said Newton was a "giant of our industry, entertaining generations of Australians across our television screens".

"He was loved by us all at Nine and we wish Patti, Lauren, Matt and their families our sincere condolences at this sad time."Newton hosted the Logies 19 times.Decades earlier, an appearance on the evening program,Over the next decade, Newton honed his skills in reacting to anything and everything that live television could deliver.

In his record 19 times as host, Newton's mastery of off-the-cuff quips, knowing looks and careful pauses made him look like a schoolboy sharing the joke with the audience. While professional partnerships would make his name in the industry, one personal partnership would outlast them all.By the time they married in 1974, policemen had to control crowds outside St Dominic's Church in Camberwell.Newton is survived by Patti and their children Lauren and Matthew and extended family.Newton with his family last Christmas in Melbourne."There was a familiarity that connected us to Bert, but it also connected us to each other. We could laugh together.

He is a loss and will be missed, but Scomo is always lost tho and was never missed.

it would be nice if they added to their statements and to all the others who lost loved ones

A good man by any standard, Bert Newton that is ..not the other guy coat tailing..RIP Bert you made me laugh

Vale Bert Newton: the moon-faced legend of Australian showbizIt seemed that Bert Newton was always there. He was on television forever, he was in films and on radio and he was on stage. And now he is gone, writes Harret Veitch I’ve been living back in Australia for 7 years now and heard of him in entertainment news just once until now. I’m almost certain he’s been out of the business for even longer than that though. 🤷🏾‍♂️
