Myf Warhurst
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Myfanwy (Myf) Warhurst (born 1974) is an Australian radio announcer best known for her work at Triple J. Before starting on radio, she was editor-in-chief of Melbourne's Inpress music magazine.
She spent her childhood in the small country town of Red Cliffs, Victoria, and was a student at Red Cliffs Secondary College.
She started doing short bi-weekly segments for Merrick and Rosso's drive segment in 2000. In 2001-02 she took over as host of the Net 50 program on Saturday nights, and in 2003 she switched to the weekday lunch shift. Her daily segment, The Trashy Lunchtime Quiz is a fan favourite. Myf appears on jtv, broadcast on ABC Television, and she also appears as one of the team captains on the ABC music trivia quiz show Spicks and Specks. In this capacity, in an early episode, she embarrassed herself and lost face when she couldn't remember the name of Nirvana's hit Smells Like Teen Spirit when she heard it. Her Triple J colleagues were merciless in their mocking for weeks afterwards.
In December 2006, she hosted the ABC TV special My Favourite Album.
Warhurst is the sister of Rocket Science drummer Kit Warhurst and used to live with the band Something for Kate.
On December 8, 2006 Myf finished her role as Triple J Lunch time presenter. She will return to the J's in 2007, joining Jay and the Doctor in the breakfast slot.
