GRANT DENYER

TV & RADIO PRESENTER, RACE CAR DRIVER & CREATIVE PRODUCER

Grant Denyer is a man of many talents— from 2018 Gold Logie winner to motor-racing driver, Guinness World Record holder, and, most importantly, a great dad and good bloke. Grant’s TV career has spanned twenty-five years, making him one of Australia’s most loved radio and television presenters. He has hosted nearly every big international TV format, from Family Feud to Australia’s Got Talent. In 2024, Grant took on a new hosting role with the launch of Deal or No Deal on Network 10.

Grant’s career in the media began with a position at Prime TV in Wagga Wagga as a journalist. In 1999, he became a full-time news reporter for Network Ten. Thanks to his racing background and obvious talent on camera, he was soon given the opportunity to work on the station’s V8 Supercar coverage as a pit reporter.

Grant joined Seven Network’s breakfast show Sunrise as a weather presenter in 2003. While at Seven, he surprised many with his dancing skills during the fourth series of Dancing with the Stars, beating world boxing champ Kostya Tszyu to become the series champion. Later, Grant went on to host It Takes Two and pursued his lifelong dream of becoming a V8 Supercar driver, earning ninth position at his first Bathurst 1000 at Mount Panorama.

Grant became the host and face of the hit series Australia’s Got Talent, taking his popularity to an all-time high, and he reprised his role as Sunrise weather presenter. Fast-forward to 2013, when Grant assumed two new roles: first appearing as host of Seven’s Slideshow, and later as the energetic quizmaster on Million Dollar Minute.

He joined Network 10 the following year as the host of the television classic Family Feud. Over the next four years, he recorded almost 1,200 episodes of the show, including a range of variants. The All-Star Family Feud specials won three Logie Awards. While at Ten, Grant also hosted Game of Games, Celebrity Name Game, and Dancing with the Stars.

Grant is a man of many talents, recently adding acting to his resume with roles in ABC Preppers and voicing the character Daddy Quokka in the feature animations Daisy Quokka and Combat Wombat. He was a runner-up in the jungle on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and beat his fellow celebrities to win Dancing with the Stars. In 2023, Grant and his wife, Chezzi, joined forces and took part in The Amazing Race: Celebrity Edition on Network 10.
