The comedian, 55, said he has 'given up caring' when it comes to sharing his opinions on the world of showbusiness, according to Nine. 

He added that when it comes to turnover in radio, 'it honestly doesn't matter' if someone is successful or not, because in the end, everyone's 'time is coming'. 

'I know them, and they're fine. I have no issue with them,' he said of former KIIS FM hosts and . 

'But, you know, when you promote how much money you're making and then half the people around you have been sacked because there's no money left, it's clearly going to you... The company is eventually going to go, "Well, we can't make money."

'It's a tough environment now. Media is tough. We all know that because of the change in the world and the way that advertisers are spending their money.'

'There's no one in there. It's a different world. That's something in many different environments now, and it's going to continue,' he said.

Their popular show collapsed in March, just two years after they signed a landmark 10-year contract worth a combined $200million.
