Andrew Anthony (QUBIT) will guest host the network’s daily science and technology show, DAILY PLANET, along with Ziya Tong for a week this month. Beginning Tuesday, April 26 and running through Friday, April 29, Anthony will be in the DAILY PLANET studio interviewing experts and bringing viewers cutting-edge stories that are changing the face of science across the globe. Anthony’s guest-hosting stint on DAILY PLANET comes in advance of an exciting new Canadian-made series he is set to host later this year on Discovery Channel– with full details to be announced in early summer.
“DAILY PLANET is one of my favourite shows on TV,” said Anthony. “I am hyped for the opportunity to guest host with Ziya for a week and really get my science on!”
Anthony brings a broad background in law, advertising, voicing and hosting to his guest-hosting duties. He previously served as host of the dating show MATCHMAKER, Discovery Channel’s game show QUBIT, the award-winning TV series AD PERSUASION, Vancouver-based MAKING IT BIG and the travel+escape series LIFE’S A TRIP.
Andrew Anthony began his career in advertising, writing international commercial campaigns and winning awards for clients Coca-Cola, Nestle, Sega and Molson Breweries. After a time he found himself not just writing the ads, but also being cast as the voice actor in signature campaigns for Fleet Bank in Boston, Cheese Whiz, Nissan Canada and most notably, video game maker EASports and insurance giant GEICO.
