Grant Denyer: Family Feud

-

“I didn’t realise some of the joy you could bring,” says Grant about hosting Family Feud for six years. “I was basically a human ATM, dispensing cash to people who really needed it. It’s nice that you can be there and help out these lovely genuine beautiful Australian­s, and just help their dreams come true.”

Of course, along with the prizes, part of the appeal of Family Feud is when people gave the wrong answers – something Gold Logie winner

Grant, 44, loved, too. He chuckles, “I remember the very first episode and I was really nervous. I asked, ‘Name a yellow fruit,’ and the first contestant ever buzzes in straight away, as confident as anything and says, ‘Orange.’ I’m like, ‘Oh man, we’ve got ourselves a show!’”

Why does he think game shows are so entertaini­ng to watch? “A game show is that equivalent of taking your bra off when you get home, or undoing the top button of your pants!” he laughs.
