There's always a surprise or two in store when watching Sunrise, and recently, Melbourne viewers—and commuters—were given an unexpected extra dose of this charm due to the high-spirited antics of the show's weather presenter, Sam Mac.

Broadcasting live from various iconic locations in Melbourne, Sam found himself mingling with the early morning crowd in a city tram, turning the quiet commute into a unique television moment.

As the tram trudged along at 6:40 am, the always-brimming-with-energy Sam took the opportunity to interact with some passengers.

Sam turned his attention to the commuters on the tram for live interviews. Some commuters welcomed the opportunity with open arms, sharing laughs and engaging in conversations about their morning routines on-air.



However, not everyone was enthusiastic, and some commuters were a bit more reserved in their interactions.

Sam, with his sense of humour and wide smile, didn't let the lack of enthusiasm dampen his mood, 'I mean, the friendliness just oozes out of every passenger as you walk along.' he jokingly commented after a passenger declined to be interviewed on camera.

Meanwhile, back in the studio, Sunrise hosts Nat and Shirvo were watching Sam's antics unfold with a mix of amusement and sympathy for the unsuspecting commuters.

'That guy is like “Get him away from me!”' Nat commented, laughing, while Shirvo added, 'What a pest!' They noted the mad dash of a few individuals who seemed to make a hasty exit from the tram as soon as the camera pointed in their direction.



Amidst their laughter, Nat and Shirvo didn't forget about the Melbourne commuters who found themselves caught in Sam’s unexpected morning surprise and felt a light-hearted apology was in order.

'We are sorry, Melbourne, that we’ve inflicted Sam Mac on you this morning!' Nat announced with a grin.

My funny moment is I'd never watch Sunrise if you paid even with Koshi gone
 
We could all do with less of these clowns who think they are big stars, but really aren’t, just presenting the news and weather without all the extra shenanigans thrown in.
