Dr Chris Brown is about to have some very early mornings, with his latest (and surprising) gig revealed.
After seven months of speculation about who will replace The Kyle and Jackie O Show, KIIS has confirmed the veterinarian will be one of three taking over the breakfast program.
“Waking up with the city I love and bringing a huge dose of real life, warmth and (hopefully) humour is truly a dream come true,” Dr Chris said of his latest gig.
“This show will be all about sharing our mornings, some laughs and maybe a few secrets together. I can’t wait. Plus, these hours are also a great way to beat the Bondi Road traffic so it’s a win-win.”
Joining Dr Chris is Jack Charles, who previously co-hosted The Chrissie Swan Show on Nova, and Amy Gerard, a podcaster, columnist, author and weekend radio host on KIIS 106.5. The trio will officially launch on KIIS breakfast 106.5 on Monday November 9.
“I’m genuinely pinching myself that I get to be part of this show. The chemistry between Chris, Jack and I already feels so natural, it’s fun, unpredictable and there’s a very good chance we’ll be completely unhinged before most people have had their first coffee,” Amy shared.
Jack added, “Amy is an absolute gun, and her stories often leave me with my jaw on the floor. Chris and I have a history of bringing out the worst – or possibly best – in each other. I have a feeling Sydney’s in for a pretty fun ride!”
It’s no secret that The Kyle and Jackie O Show dominated ratings, with the hosts known for their outrageous antics and X-rated discussions. But earlier this year, an on-air argument between Kyle and Jackie turned into a media spectacle, leaning to shock departures and terminations.
However, the newly appointed trio couldn’t be more different.
Dr Chris is television’s boy next door. Since debuting on TV in 2003 on Harry’s Practice, the 48-year-old has earned a sterling reputation for his career and charming demeanor. Such roles included I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Australia, Bondi Vet, Dancing with the Stars, and The Living Room.
However, acting as a permanent radio host is new territory for Dr Chris. Unlike his co-hosts who are very familiar in the studio.
