Douglas John Mulray (born 1 December 1951) is an Australian comedian, radio and television presenter. He grew up in the Sydney northern beaches suburbs of Cromer and Dee Why.
He began his career at a small country station in Armidale, after doing a broadcasting course at the Digamae (Rod Muir's) Radio School. During the mid 1970s he worked on 3AW Melbourne with a program called "Mulray & The Man". In the late 1970s, he started a permanent job in Sydney with Australian Broadcasting Corporation's alternative rock station 2JJ (later Triple J), where he built up a sizeable following. In 1982 he was poached by a new station, Triple M.
Mulray hosted the breakfast time slot on Sydney FM radio station 2MMM (Triple M) in the 1980s. After a break from Triple M, he worked for a brief time in the PM drive time slot on 2SM with Peter FitzSimons before moving to Sydney radio station 2WS eventually leaving that station in July 1999. He never regained the ratings he enjoyed at his former station Triple M.
In 2014, industry analyst Radio Today rated his breakfast as the third best Australian metro FM breakfast show of all time.
Outside of radio, Mulray has also featured on Australian TV shows such as Beauty and the Beast, and hosted the infamous Australia's Naughtiest Home Videos where the show's only episode was pulled from broadcast by then-Nine Network owner Kerry Packer; Mulray was fired and banned for life from the Nine Network as a result, although he would later return to Nine to be a judge on the 2005 series StarStruck (shortly after Packer's death in December that year). On Full Frontal, this was parodied with a skit of Mulray hosting a lottery draw, making sexual remarks as the balls drop.
