Tracy Grimshaw

Tracy Jane Grimshaw (born June 3, 1960) is an Australian journalist and television presenter.

Grimshaw's career began in the 1980s when she became a newsreader and reporter for the "National Nine News" in Melbourne. In 1995, Grimshaw appeared as co-host of "The Midday Show" and has filled in as a newsreader and host of "A Current Affair". Grimshaw is best-known for co-hosting Nine's breakfast program "The Today Show".

In the early 1990s, Tracy hosted the reality series Animal Hospital, presented the Saturday editions of "The Today Show".

She finished her run on "The Today Show" on December 23, 2005, and then became host of "A Current Affair", taking over from Ray Martin on January 30, 2006. Grimshaw had previously hosted the "A Current Affair Summer Series" while Martin was on annual leave.

On July 4, 2006, a tribute video celebrating Grimshaw's 25th year of employment at the Nine Network was aired on "A Current Affair". Former "Today Show" host and current "60 Minutes" reporter Liz Hayes appeared on set to present Grimshaw with a bunch of flowers.

Grimshaw was reported on December 17 to be on a Seven Network shortlist to host its "Today Tonight" show in the wake of Naomi Robson's departure, though the role was given a month later to Anna Coren.

[http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21122313-5006002,00.html] The Sunday Telegraph reported that Grimshaw's contract with the Nine Network expired on March 2007, but it has since been renewed.
