Larry Emdur is one of Australia’s most recognisable TV personalities, known for hosting The Morning Show, The Price is Right, and The Chase Australia. With a career spanning four decades, Larry reflects on his accidental entry into television, navigating imposter syndrome, and the wins and setbacks that come with life in the spotlight.

In this episode, Jess and Larry explore what’s kept him grounded, from the wisdom of his late father to unexpected twists like launching a whiskey brand and finally winning a Gold Logie. As you’ll discover behind the polished TV persona is a man guided by humour, humility, heart, and a powerful personal mantra: If not now, when?
