A hilarious Home and Away clip featuring a cameo by David Koch has resurfaced this morning on Sunrise ahead of weatherman Sam Mac’s appearance in the long-running Aussie soap.

The blink-and-you’ll-miss-it appearance occurred in 2007 and stars Kochie having a beer at the Summer Bay surf club and saying the phrase “yeah sure”.
Poking fun at the Sunrise host’s very brief appearance, Sam said of Kochie’s Summer Bay debut, “That’s it. That is literally it. All of two words.”
Dishing on some behind-the-scenes secrets, Kochie revealed that producers told him to “say watermelon, watermelon, watermelon in the background because you’re not allowed to make a noise when you’re talking.”
Meanwhile, Sunrise fans can look forward to seeing another familiar face in the Bay with Sam set to appear in Wednesday night’s episode.
Continuing to give Kochie a ribbing, Sam boasted that his forthcoming appearance “wasn’t in the background.”
“You’ll see that tonight, I was actually acting!” he said.
The weatherman will appear as a VIP Guest at a fancy Summer Bay shindig that goes “horribly wrong.”
It’s not the first time the Sunrise team have brought up Kochie’s acting chops.
In June last year, the team again played the infamous clip, with the 63-year-old joking that he was up for a Logie nomination for the cameo.
“Were you best new talent that year? [at the Logies],” former co-host Samantha Armytage joked at the time.
Sam Mac added, “It’s been a long time since he made an appearance on the show. No one has been invited to Summer Bay since.
“So a 13-year-hiatus and this [the clip of him] might explain why.”
