Andrew Denton is one of Australia's most successful TV and radio announcers.
He raised in prominence, with the success of "Enough Rope" with Andrew Denton, which he finished screening in 2008 on the ABC. Denton will remain with the ABC and produce a reality show, Project NEXT. Foxtel has also commissioned his company to create the scripted compedy series 30 seconds which is set in the advertising industry.
Far from being an "overnight success", Denton has been plugging away in the entertainment and media business for over a decade. Andrew has previously hosted his own breakfast radio program - the modestly titled Andrew Denton Breakfast Show on Sydney radio's 2MMM for 5 years. He also works behind the camera as Executive Producer for ABC TV's satirical series The Election Chaser and CNNNN.
He is a rare breed that is able to be both comical and "deadly" serious, in the same interview, if not the same sentence.
Andrew first came to public attention in 1988 as the writer/presenter of the ABC TV series Blah Blah Blah and since then has written, presented and produced numerous comedy shows including, The Money Or The Gun, Live & Sweaty (ABC), Denton (Ch 7), and for Ch 9, Andrew co-produced and hosted The Logies, Australia's television awards, in both 1999 & 2000.
"Enough Rope" just may be Denton's most successful program to date but perhaps, the best is yet to come. |
