Sacked radio host Lawrence Mooney is demanding more than $1 million over his unceremonious departure from Triple M.
Mooney was dumped from the coveted breakfast radio gig in November and is suing the station's parent company Southern Cross Austereo for unpaid wages.
The comedian started with Triple M in 2019 to host the Moonman in the Morning program with co-presenters Jess Eva and Chris Page.
But he was abruptly dumped less than a year into a new two-year contract with little explanation after a wild few days of speculation.

Mooney's exit was two weeks after he suddenly vanished from the airwaves amid rumours of a major falling out with co-host Eva.
'SCA thanks Mooney for his contribution to the Triple M Network over the past five years,' SCA said in a terse statement on November 15.
The program changed its name to Triple M Breakfast with MG, Jess & Pagey, with new lead host Mark 'MG' Geyer.
