Timeline
In a January 2015 episode of podcast TOFOP, Anderson recalled his first Logie Awards ceremony, held in 2008, when he garnered controversy for his live tweets from the event. Anderson explained that he has never been a fan of the event, as he believes that a large number of other causes for celebration exist in Australia that never receive the recognition they deserve.
Anderson launched his Wilosophy podcast in December 2014. The inaugural episode featured Todd Sampson, while subsequent guests include Judith Lucy, John Safran, Felicity Ward, Osher Günsberg, Jarrod McKenna, Annabel Crabb, Marc Maron, Dee Madigan, Nazeem Hussain, Corinne Grant, and Karl Kruszelnicki. Wilosphy has, over the second half of 2018, released compilation episodes with themes such as religion, comedy, and mental health. These episodes take clips from past Wilosophy episodes and compile them based on subject matter..
Anderson is a passionate supporter and longtime fan club member of the Western Bulldogs FC, who compete in the Australian Football League. On 20 May 2014, he was named as a club ambassador for the 2014 season.
In February 2013, Anderson launched the spin-off podcast FOFOP. Regular guests have included Dave Anthony, Gareth Reynolds, Justin Hamilton, Rove McManus, Tom Gleeson, Harley Breen, Lindsay Webb, Felicity Ward, Celia Pacquola, Matt Kirshen, Daniel Sloss, Greg Behrendt, Jen Kirkman.
Between 2011 and 2017, Anderson split his time between Australia and the U.S. He has a form of osteoarthritis, which he mentions in some of his performances.
TOFOP (Thirty Odd Foot of Pod) debuted in 2010 as a weekly podcast in which Anderson and Clausen disused a variety of subjects, including film, popular culture, sport, personal anecdotes, and detailed discussions on bizarre hypothetical situations. Following significant media coverage in June 2012, TOFOP rose to become the most popular comedy podcast in Australia. In September 2012, the podcast was placed on hiatus as a result of Clausen gaining a starring role as Zac MacGuire in popular Australian soap opera Home and Away. The podcast resumed in June 2014.
In May 2008, Anderson became the executive producer and host of The Gruen Transfer, a panel talk show about advertising televised on ABC. The show debuted with a record-breaking audience of 1.287 million viewers, the highest-rating debut entertainment program in the history of the ABC.
From April 2007 to November 2008, Anderson joined with Lehmo to host Wil & Lehmo, an afternoon drive-time radio program on Triple M. He also replaced Mick Molloy as co-host of the station's Hot Breakfast early morning show alongside Luke Darcy and Eddie McGuire in 2018, leaving the show at the end of 2019.
Anderson was the subject of controversy after he made jokes about the late father of Australian Idol finalist Shannon Noll at the 2006 Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
From 2000 to 2004, Anderson co-hosted the triple j breakfast radio show with Adam Spencer. Between 2001 and 2006, Anderson hosted the comedy talk-show The Glass House, broadcast on ABC, alongside Corinne Grant and Dave Hughes. In November 2006, the show was cancelled amid media speculation that the cancellation was made due to pressure from the Howard Government. Howard responded with, "I do not tell the ABC what programmes it should run. I respect the independence of the ABC." In 2007, Anderson was nominated for the "Most Popular Presenter" award at the Logies for his role on the show.
Anderson has performed at numerous festivals, including Just For Laughs in Montreal. Since 1997, he has used a pun regarding his first name for the title of his live shows:
While Anderson's television and radio career has made him a highly recognised figure in Australia, standup comedy remains his foremost discipline. Anderson started his career in newspaper journalism before venturing into standup comedy. In his early career, Anderson made numerous appearances on Good News Week, on both the original and revamped versions. On 19 June 1996, Anderson appeared as the guest comedian on the RMITV Show Under Melbourne Tonight, and appeared with RMITV again on the Under Melbourne Tonight spin-off What's Goin' On There? on 3 June 1998.
