John Reginald Hamblin[1] (18 March 1935 – 21 September 2022), known affectionately as "Funny John"[2] or "Naughty John",[3] was a British-born Australian children's television presenter and actor of stage and screen who appeared in theatre productions, soap operas and made-for-TV films.
Hamblin was a presenter on the Australian children's television program Play School for 29 years, from 1970 to 1999. He featured in more than 350 episodes and became the second-longest-serving presenter in the program's history, after Benita Collings, with whom he often presented.[4]
