Ben Mulroney is regarded as one of Canada’s premier television 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 its six-season run, Canadian Idol was the most-watched English-language Canadian television show. As a preeminent host and emcee Mulroney infuses galas, conferences and events with his signature humour, charisma and warm personality.

Despite being the son of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, and earning a law degree from Laval University and a history degree from Duke University, Mulroney found his calling in show business – not politics.

Mulroney got his start as the Quebec City correspondent for TalkTV’s The Chatroom before joining CTV’s Canada AM as their 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. Mulroney has also appeared as a contributor on the weekend edition of ABC News’ Good Morning America and joined Kelly Ripa twice as guest co-host on the popular daytime talk show LIVE with Kelly.

Today Mulroney is a regular contributor on 640 Toronto and works closely with Aurora Strategy Global, a fast-growing public affairs, government and public relations firm. He also works with several charitable organizations including Cystic Fibrosis Canada, SickKids and Sinai Health.
