Andrew Christopher Denton (born 4 May 1960 ) is an Australian comedian and television presenter, and is the host of the ABC's weekly interview program Enough Rope. He is known as one of Australia's most quick-witted comedians and interviewers.
Enough Rope with Andrew Denton (often shortened to Enough Rope) is a television talk show broadcast on ABC1 in Australia. The title of the show comes from the phrase "Give someone enough rope and they will hang themselves".
Enough Rope is the brainchild of Australian comedian, social critic, producer and media personality Andrew Denton. The hour long, commercial-free chat show has aired since 2003. The show initially competed against the Nine Network's Micallef Tonight in the Monday 9:30pm timeslot, and critics have claimed that Enough Rope's high ratings forced Nine to axe their program. Throughout 2004 and 2005 Enough Rope continued to dominate, averaging well over a million viewers weekly.
Denton's meticulous research in interview preparation usually impresses his high profile guests. The show is often noted for its 'human' stories where everyday people share their extraordinary life stories. The show is essentially 'no frills', and is presented in front of a sizable live studio audience.
