Known as “Uncle Doug”, Mulray was a huge hit on Sydney radio in the 80’s and 90’s.

According to the publication, Mulray, a well-known recluse, appeared at a Triple-M meeting at a Sydney hotel seven weeks ago.

Mulray, known for his outrageous sense of humor, gave a touching speech at the radio veterans’ gathering.

“We were the right guy, at the right time, in the right place, with the right attitude,” he said, recalling the days when Triple M dominated the music format.

Mulray, who rose to fame on ABC radio station 2JJ in the 1970s, moved to Triple M, a new commercial station, in 1982.

“It was just amazing to be a part of,” he said of his days at Triple M. “We were blessed to have that thing… It was a joy to be there.”

He continued, “By the time I left radio, I was over it. I wanted the privacy and I kind of distanced myself… It was like a fantasy.

The famously cheeky comedian became a TV star in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and his own short-lived show ‘Mulray’ in the ’90s.

But the star suffered a major career embarrassment in 1990.

Channel Nine boss Kerry Packer drew Mulrays Naughtiest Home Videos from the show in the middle of the show, in an incident that went down in Australian television history.

The shock incident happened after Mulray presented a video of a boy pulling a kangaroo’s testicles.

Packer reportedly called the studio and said, “Bring that off the air.” The show was abruptly canceled and replaced with reruns of the US sitcom Cheers.

Mulray returned to the Nine networks years later on the talent show Starstruck in 2005.

He also appeared on Channel 10 Beauty and the Beast in 2002.

Mulray rose to television fame in 1990 when Channel Nine boss Kerry Packer pulled the star’s Naughtiest Home Videos mid-show from the air. Pictured: Mulray on the red carpet in a rare public appearance in 2010 for the ARIA Hall of Fame and RocKwiz inductee announcement
