Jason Gunn
Jason had his first taste of the entertainment industry at the age of 17 when he was cast in the lead role of Adrian Mole in the touring Musical/Comedy "Adrian Mole aged 13 and 3/4".
At the completion of the tour he was offered a presenting job with the children’s department at TVNZ. He soon became the face of children's television in New Zealand. He then made the move into family television, with shows such as 'Young Entertainers', 'Small Talk' and ‘World Famous’.
In 2005 his profile hit new heights when he was named as host of “Dancing with the Stars’ – the highest rating show in New Zealand television history. Now with 4 series of ‘Dancing With the Stars’ under his belt he is currently hosting a second series of ‘The Rich List’, winner of ‘Best Entertainment Show’ in 2007 and ‘Wheel of Fortune’.
His presenting and comedic skills have seen him pick up a number of New Zealand television awards. Most recently ‘Best Presenter’ and ‘Funniest Man on TV’ for 2006 and 2007.
Jason is in high demand as a host and performer at conferences both here in New Zealand and overseas. He is also a very popular motivational speaker in schools throughout New Zealand.
Over the last 7 years Jason and his wife Janine Morrell-Gunn have set up Whitebait TV; a production and facilities company in Christchurch where he currently writes, directs and produces television for a number of shows both here and overseas.
