Andrew Dugald Daddo (born 18 February 1967) is an Australian actor, voice artist, author and television and radio personality and presenter.
Daddo was born at the Royal Women’s Hospital in Melbourne, Australia on 18 February 1967 to Peter and Brownen Daddo. He began his education at Mt Eliza Primary School and in year seven moved to Peninsula Grammar. After a short stint at the grammar school, the Daddo family moved away from Mt Eliza and continued his education at Millburn Junior High in New Jersey, USA. Returning to Australia, Daddo spent the last two and a half years of his schooling at Melbourne Grammar School. After finishing high school, Daddo began an Arts degree at Monash University in Clayton finishing with majors in politics and history and a minor in sociology.
Andrew has been a longtime presenter on the Seven Network in Australia and has been involved in hosting many Seven specials. He hosted World's Greatest Commercials, which ran from 1995 to 1996 (and also had occasional Cannes Film Festival specials until the late 1990s) as well as the Australian adaptation of Kids Say the Darndest Things. Daddo is one of the travellers on the Globe Trekker series, and is also the author of a number of children's books. He was a presenter on Seven's The Great Outdoors in 1994 and from 2002 to 2008. During the Sydney 2000 Olympics, Daddo and co-presenter Johanna Griggs presented Olympic Sunrise from a leased apartment near Lavender Bay in Sydney which provided the Harbour Bridge and Opera House as waterside backdrops. According to Adam Boland's Brekky Central, in late 2001, producers had created a plan to take over TODAY on Channel Nine as the leader at breakfast which had taken inspiration from Fox America's Fox and Friends. Set to debut in March 2002, the multimillion-dollar production would have its own dedicated studio and fronted by Australian Radio personality Andrew Daddo and Lisa Forrest. However a month before its launch, the network's board axed the idea and believed money could be better spent. American audiences might remember Andrew Daddo from a stint as an MTV VJ in the early 1990s. During the 2008 Beijing Olympics he hosted an Olympics-oriented morning talk show, Yum Cha.
