Ed Kavalee slammed for mocking Jelena Dokic's Logies speech
Aug 4, 2025
Comedian Ed Kavalee has been slammed by viewers for making fun of Jelena Dokic's moving acceptance speech during Sunday's Logies.
The tennis great, 42, received the honour for Best Factual or Documentary Program for her documentary, Unbreakable: The Jelena Dokic Story.
During her tear-filled speech, she paid tribute to Todd Woodbridge, explaining that her friend and mentor had encouraged her to get into TV 11 years ago.
When Kavalee, 46, accepted the prize for Best Comedy Entertainment Program for Have You Been Paying Attention? he stole a line from Jelena's speech.
'And 11 years ago I sat down with Todd Woodbridge and said '‘I’m thinking of getting into comedy'' and he said ''don't even f***ing try''.'

While there was a ripple of laughter heard in the auditorium, Ed's jest did not seem to go over well with the viewers at home.
'Ed Kavalee mocking Jelena’s amazing speech is one of the lowest points of the night,' one viewer wrote on X.
'This is INSANE if so,' another user responded on the thread.
'I missed that,' added a third fan, calling it 'disappointing.'
Another X user summed up Kavalee's speech.
'At the end of the Have You Been Paying Attention? acceptance speech he [Kavalee] started talking about Todd, mirroring how she [Dokic] ended her speech. I’m guessing it was intended as humour, but it fell very, very flat,' they wrote.
