While Sam claims he was away 'on a little break', some people in the comments believe he's actually been masking up for this year's season of The Masked Singer, which is due to start on Channel 10 on September 11th.
"Sam has been on the Masked Singer??? Trying to take down Conrad Sewell," one person wrote.
"Yes I’m excited that you’re back Sam. Funniest man in television. Masked Singer hmmm," another said.
"Hahahahaha maybe Sam is on this year's Masked Singer?!" a fan commented.
Sam wins over the Logies crowd
Sam became the first host of the prestigious Logie Awards show in 11 years at the end of July, taking aim at a number of high-profile Australian celebrities in his hilarious opening monologue, which had fans calling for his return next year.
Stars such as Karl Stefanovic, Kochie and Hamish Blake were all roasted by Sam, with the audience left in fits of laughter during the lengthy show.
Even Home and Away’s iconic actor Ray Meagher wasn’t free from a ribbing, with Sam ripping into him after he tried to pay tribute to the star, who has been on the soap for the past 35 years.
However, the comedian, who usually appears on Channel 10's comedy show Have You Been Paying Attention? every week, wasn't seen on the panel for weeks after the Logies went to air.
He also regularly appears on Channel Seven's The Front Bar on Thursday nights but was replaced with stand-in panellists after his Logies debut.
