James Sherry (born 14 November 1967) is an Australian television presenter, actor, and producer.

Career

Sherry has hosted several children's shows, including

McLeod's Daughters in 2002, and The Odyssey. He almost became host of the 2003 revival of Australia's version of The Price is Right, but the Nine Network informed him that Larry Emdur (who had hosted the 1993–1998 version) would host.[1][2][3]

Sherry is also an announcer at international cricket matches in Australia and used to regularly host Saturday Lotto, Oz Lotto and Powerball draws.[4]

Sherry was an MC at Australian Football League games held at Docklands Stadium and the Melbourne Cricket Ground; he always wore the colours of the home team. In recent years, however, he has focused on production work.

Sherry has produced the "Open Drive" segment on broadcasts of the Australian Open tennis.

In March 2020, Sherry was a contestant on

ABC's Hard Quiz, hosted by Tom Gleeson. His chosen expert topic was 1990s Disney Cartoons.[5] He was runner-up to an expert on Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain
