If you were at home on a Friday night in the early 1990s, chances are you were watching Live and Sweaty. The popular sports television show launched the media careers of many a young Melbourne articled clerk turned comedian Libbi Gorr (and her onscreen persona Elle McFeast ). As a roving reporter, panellist and eventual host of the show, Gorr/McFeast won a legion of fans for her witty takedowns of sports stars, politicians and anyone else that came into her path.
In the years that followed, Gorr rode the waves of Australia's capricious media and enterainment industry. She created multiple TV specials, hosted shows, and had other shows cancelled. In 2012, she became the voice of ABC Melbourne's Saturday and Sunday morning program. It's proven the perfect fit for both Gorr (who always loved the medium of radio) and her audience, who've come to treasure her warm and intimate style.
