Paul Graham Boyd (born November 7, 1976) is an American television journalist. Born in Canada, he moved to New York City in 2001 to work for the syndicated news magazine Inside Edition and became a U.S. citizen in 2010. He served as a co-anchor of Inside Edition Weekend until May 2014.
Boyd was born in Selkirk, Manitoba. His family moved to Port Alberni, British Columbia in the early 1980s where he and his two brothers were raised. He graduated as class valedictorian from Alberni District Secondary School in 1994.
Boyd has credited his high school media production program for sparking his interest in journalism when he was 16 years old. He appeared on a daily morning television show produced by students and broadcast throughout the school via closed-circuit television. One of his high school video segments was called "Fire Marshall Paul", an adaptation of the Jim Carrey character Fire Marshall Bill from the television show, In Living Color.
While a senior in high school, Boyd placed 2nd in a national video contest promoting safe driving. He was named top male vocalist at the West Coast Vocal Jazz Festival when he was 18 years old.
Boyd began his broadcasting career in 1995 working as a reporter with the CKUA Radio Network while attending Mount Royal College in Calgary, Alberta. He worked for his college radio and television stations.
In 1997, he graduated from Mount Royal College with a diploma in Broadcasting and received the prestigious Toby Towbridge Award as a top broadcasting student in his class. Shortly after graduation he was hired as a part-time sports reporter and fill-in anchor at CICT-TV, Calgary. Later that year he joined The Movie Show, an internationally syndicated entertainment program produced by Pyramid Productions.
