Rob Elliott(I)
- Actor
Rob was born in Brisbane, Australia in 1965. Prior to his television
career, he had worked in radio for 14 years. After leaving school, Rob
moved to rural Queensland to work in radio. This valuable experience
pre-empted a career in radio, with Rob presenting various shows on the
Triple M radio network in Auckland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. In
1990, he moved to Melbourne to present Triple M's drive show, and took
the program to the No. 1 spot. In 1987, Rob scored his first job in
Television as host of The OK Show, a Saturday morning cartoon and music
show in Queensland. A year later he moved to Melbourne to become the
State reporter for the childrens educational program Wombat. Rob then
hosted the variety show, Talking Telephone Numbers, on Australia's
Seven Network in early 1996, which he has said was "a big stepping
stone" in regards to his position with Seven. Rob was thrilled to be
chosen as the host for Wheel Of Fortune and has now made Melbourne his
home and commutes to Sydney for the recording.
