Anthony Wiggle Is A Prick

There’s a controversy of apocalyptic proportions happening in Australia right now. Of course, we parents, here in the U.S. are slow to hear of this scandalous tragedy.

The Wiggles have shit canned Sam (the yellow wiggle) for the old yellow Wiggle, Greg.

Five years ago Greg left the Children’s group, The Wiggles, with an undisclosed serious illness that he needed to deal with. This left Anthony (blue wiggle), Murray (red Wiggle) and Jeff (purple Wiggle) with an empty shirt to fill. So they turned to one of the background singer/dancers, Sam, to put on the yellow shirt and “lead” the group to years of multi-million dollar CD, DVD and concert sells. 

Greg is feeling better now and wants to come back to the group.

Reportedly, The Wiggles gave very little to no warning to Sam of this announcement before they went public with the news of Greg replacing him.

Anthony, Jeff and Greg appeared on The Today Show in Australia to talk about Greg’s return to the group. However, it was clear that Anthony did not really want to talk about Sam or had given him a second thought since his firing. Also, you could tell that he was beside himself with giddiness that his old pal Greg was back in the band.

Here is a youtube clip of Anthony’s part of this awkward interview




You can watch the interview with the three Wiggles in its entirety on The Today Show’s website. At the bottom of the video you will see a short goodbye video from Sam and the edited clip of Anthony’s awkwardness.

I for one will miss Sam. I’ve seen some old clips of Greg, and he just didn’t have the friendliness of Sam.

Who do you prefer, Sam or Greg? Or could you care less as long as the kids are occupied entertained?

Edit: I first heard about this from Glowless at Where's My Glow?.
