Ben Mulroney is regarded as one of Canada’s premier television and radio hosts. He is best known as the former co-host of CTV’s Your Morning and Etalk, as well as the host of Canadian Idol. For the entirety of it’s six-season run, Idol was the most watched English-language Canadian television show on record. Today, Ben hosts The Ben Mulroney Show on 640 Toronto, a nationally syndicated talk show that focuses on politics, media, and other hot-button issues that really matter to his audience. In addition, as a preeminent on-stage host and emcee, Ben infuses galas and events with his signature humour, charisma, and warm personality.
Ben got his start as the Quebec City Correspondent for TalkTv’s The Chatroom before joining CTV’s Canada AM as an entertainment reporter. He then joined Etalk, where he interviewed thousands of stars and reported from hundreds of red carpets, including the Oscars, Golden Globes, the Emmys, and the Juno Awards. Ben has also appeared as a contributor on the weekend edition of ABC News’ Good Morning America and joined Kelly Ripa as guest co-host twice on the popular daytime talk show, Live! With Kelly. He also works closely with Aurora Strategy Global, a fast-growing public affairs, government, and public relations firm.
Ben is aligned with several charitable organizations, including Cystic Fibrosis Canada and SickKids, and is dedicated to raising funds for guide dogs in support of blind Canadians as the official ambassador for the Canadian National Institute of the Blind (CNIB).
