Born on November 21, 1943, Grahame Bond, a multifaceted Australian entertainer, has garnered widespread recognition for his iconic and enduring portrayal of the beloved character, Aunty Jack.
Prior to his successful foray into the world of comedy, Bond embarked on a journey of academic pursuit, enrolling in a degree program in architecture at Sydney University, where he had the opportunity to refine his performance skills through his involvement in university revues.
As Bond completed his academic pursuits in 1967, he embarked on a career trajectory that diverged from his initial path, opting instead to leverage his creative talents in the realm of commercial jingle writing. It was during this period that he conceptualized the character of Aunty Jack, a persona heavily influenced by the esteemed Goons, who initially made her debut in an episode of The Comedy Game in 1971.
It was not until the 1990s that Bond finally seized the opportunity to take on a new role, this time as the charismatic host of the popular Channel Seven game show, Whose Line is it Anyway?, a program that would go on to become a staple of Australian television.
Following his successful tenure on Whose Line is it Anyway?, Bond continued to make a name for himself in the world of television by serving as a presenter on the highly acclaimed Seven lifestyle series, Better Homes and Gardens, a position he held for an impressive six years.
