Your Master of Ceremonies - Kerri-Anne Kennerley
Kerri-Anne Kennerley has had a varied career ranging across the media, business and entertainment. She has interviewed world leaders, sporting icons and show business superstars, yet has retained her 'grassroots,' down-to-earth approach to life. Australia woke up with Kerri-Anne for eleven years on Good Morning Australia, had lunch with her for three years on Midday With Kerri-Anne, and listened to her for two years on Radio 2CH. As star host of Midday, Kerri-Anne and the program became such a fixture in people's lives that when the demise of the show was announced a massive outpour of public grief and protest erupted. Kerri-Anne currently hosts the successful "Mornings with Kerri-Anne" which is aired daily on Network Nine throughout Australia and New Zealand.
