The ever-versatile Julia Morris has been announced as the new host of Australia’s Got Talent on Nine.
Morris, whose star has been on the rise ever since she won Celebrity Apprentice, was recently nominated for a Silver Logie as Most Popular Actress for House Husbands.
As she recently told TV Tonight, she has had years of experience in hosting corporate events.
“I love them, because people come to them thinking they’re going to have quite a formal evening and one of my special gifts is to make them quite irreverent. A little bit naughty, never dirty, and everybody has an explosive evening. Or at least a good majority of them. Certainly the one or two that have approached me!” she said.
Nine even drew upon her skills for its 2013 Programming Launch to media buyers last year.
AGT so far has Dawn French, Kyle Sandilands and Timomatic as its judges, but a court case injunction has prevented Mel B from officially joining the show.
It airs later this year on Nine.

Good luck Julia, but like others here have stated, I wouldn’t watch any show that had Kyle Sandilands on it.
Great choice and looks like The X Factor is on borrowed time.
Do not know about her hosting skills, but as a ‘comic’, she is probably the most over rated, unfunny person I have seen
Lets not forget she won It Takes Two as a singer, so she has experience on these shiny floor shows.
Good news, but it’s pity I won’t see it.
I won’t watch anything with Kyle…
@JohnW…makes two of us.
Good thing she’s hosting and not the talent…
Nearly want to watch it for her hosting skills and personality! Congrats Julia!
Heartfull congratulations “J” , what coup for both Jullia and Nime.
I hope your time at acting school included athletics and pest control techniques.
Athletics as in ‘High Jumping, Sprints and Endurance running’ so that you will have the ability to leap over or run around “Kyle’s Ego” and the pest control techniques may come in handy if you start to steal to much of the “Kyle’s Limelight”, and you need to be proactive in “White Ant Control”.
Also seeing that you may not get a Nine credit card, do not forget to keep and submit your receipts for your Badminton Racquet and Wrist Sweat Bands, for returning “Kyle’s Dummy Spits” or ‘especially so’ if you do happen to get a Nine credit card
Watch out Asher and Carrie – 2014 Logies could see Julia as the Gold Winner.
Great choice, she was the star of the logies.
@bruce, seriously? Karl?
Julia Morris is great and I just love her in HH but it this will be interesting. She would have to be semi serious and as funny as she is its not a show where you can just be funny. If that make sense.
Although I reckon she would have a few Kyle jokes up her sleeve. Her and Mel B would get on I reckon
Excellent choice.
I stopped listening after Sandilands was announced.
Good decision by nine. Still wont watch due to the Kyle factor though, but congrats to Julia.
@carolemorrissey: She’s the host, not a judge.
She’ll pull a funny face then laugh at her own jokes… pass! Would rather Karl Stefanovic.
i will watch now
am happy for Juia Morris. She has come into full circles, hasn’t she. She’s now back to her peak here is Australia. Good on her
Has the Mel B court case ended yet or is it still continuing?
amazingly good
So they lost the court case did they, or did they decide she wasn’t worth fighting for? Julia Morris is a great choice, she’s popular & funny and best of all she’s an Aussie. Don’t know why they didn’t think of her in the first place and saved themselves a lot of trouble. They need to change their ads though, they have still be saying Mel B in them.
Hmm, mixed feelings about this. Don’t get me wrong, I love a Julia Morris, but just unsure how this is going to turn out…
Great choice but I won’t be watching. I cannot bear Kyle on any show on any network.
Awesome!!
