Like many Australian entertainers, Julian Morrow is not funny. His media career began on Hey Hey It's Saturday, where an appearance on Red Faces led Channel 9 talent scouts to offer him a job as a reporter for A Current Affair. Morrow worked for ACA for five years, forging a reputation for egomania, tantrums and occasional violence rivalled only by Mike Munro. Ultimately however he found A Current Affair too high brow, and resigned to pursue a lengthy period of unemployment.

In the 1990s Morrow worked outside the media, most notably for three years as a doctor at Sydney Hospital, until it was discovered he did not have a medicine degree. After a brief, unsuccessful stint as the leader of a Burwood-based doomsday cult, Morrow became a Scientologist and returned to work in the media.

He was employed as a manager by ABC TV in 2001 on the strength of a CV entirely plagiarised from Jonathan Shier. Despite a spate of disastrous programming decisions, he rose steadily through the ranks of ABC management, before losing a bitter-power struggle and being forced to return to making programs.

Morrow lives in Sydney with his wife and an IQ of 30.
