From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rachel Perry (born January 20, 1976 in Brockville, Ontario) is a Canadian TV personality currently working in the United States. The former MuchMusic VJ is the host of All Access on VH1, and is the narrator for Web Junk 20. She was also the co-host of VH1's short lived reality show Strip Search. Until March 2006, she was also the part-time host of VH1's Top 20 Countdown, until she was replaced by fellow Canadians Aamer Haleem and Bradford How. Rachel Perry has also worked for Viacom owned gay and lesbian station Logo. At Logo, she narrated the behind the scenes program for Brokeback Mountain, which is featured on the DVD for it.

On December 29, 2005, it was announced that she would be joining Adam Carolla's new radio show in January 2006. In April 2006, the show announced that Perry was absent to work on a television pilot. (The pilot was a show called Beyond, a drama based on NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory.) What was initially announced as a short absence grew into several weeks, during which the show featured several guests filling her role on the show. On May 1, Adam announced that Rachel had been let go from the show and was replaced by Teresa Strasser. Adam has referred to Rachel as "the bad guest who wouldn't leave."

In the meantime, Perry is also the host of VH1 Radio Network's Weekly Rewind radio program, heard on top stations around the country and distributed by Westwood One. She had also done "content wrap" spots for The CW's "c-what's happening" commercial segments, but they have seemed to be discontinued after a number of weeks.

Rachel Perry appeared as a guest star in an episode of CSI: NY called "Heart of Glass". The episode was aired on February 14, 2007.
