[8] 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.
[14] While Anderson's television and radio career has made him a recognised figure in Australia, standup comedy remains his foremost discipline.
For over a decade Anderson has started every live show with the opening riff from "Back In Black" as a tribute to his late friend, comedian Dave Grant.
[21][22] 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 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, Namila Benson and Karl Kruszelnicki.
[25] 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.
In 2022, Anderson published I Am NOT Fine, Thanks, a political memoir and comedic reflection upon the preceding years, largely consisting of the same material as his 2022 show, Wilogical.
[32] Anderson is a passionate supporter and longtime fan club member of the Western Bulldogs, who compete in the Australian Football League.
