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 to Guinness World record holder and most importantly, a great dad and good bloke. Grant’s TV career has spanned two decades which has made him one of Australia’s most loved radio and television presenters. Grant has hosted nearly every big international TV format from Family Feud to Australia’s Got Talent.  2024 sees Grant take on a new hosting role, with the launch of Deal or No Deal on Network 10.

Grant’s career in the media started 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 his 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. Whilst 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 reprised his role as Sunrise weather presenter. Fast-forward to 2013 and 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 1200 episodes of the show, including a range of variants. The All-Star Family Feud specials won three Logie Awards.  Whist at Ten, Grant has 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 a character, Daddy Quokka in the feature animations Daisy Quokka and Combat Wombat.  He was 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 Chezzi joined forces and took part in Amazing Race Celebrity Addition on Network 10.
