Andrew O'Keefe

In December 2017, O'Keefe announced his resignation as co-host of Weekend Sunrise after 12 years with the show.

In January 2017 he was appointed a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) for his television and charity work.

O'Keefe was married to Eleanor, a social worker, and together they have three children. In 2017 the couple separated and in 2019 they divorced.

O'Keefe has frequently faced criticism from right-wing commentators of left-wing bias in his interviews and moderation of debates. Tensions erupted when former Australian Labor Party leader Mark Latham accused him of having "a bet each way" during a heated debate about feminism and domestic violence in 2016. He has also been criticised by other notable individuals such as journalist and conservative commentator Miranda Devine and Senator Pauline Hanson. The most recent example was the 2017 controversy surrounding O'Keefe's Sunrise interview of The Red Pill producer Cassie Jaye. The interview was posted on Sunrise' s Facebook page, but was removed shortly after due to a negative response to O'Keefe's interview tactics. O'Keefe was accused of ignorance and poor journalism after he failed to view The Red Pill in its entirety before accusing Cassie Jaye of being sympathetic to the views of Paul Elam.

In 2015 O'Keefe began presenting Seven's new game show, The Chase Australia, which replaced struggling game shows Deal or No Deal which he hosted, and Million Dollar Minute in the 5:00pm timeslot.

On 31 May 2013, O'Keefe commenced playing the role of King Herod in the Australian tour of the Jesus Christ Superstar arena show and received "rave" reviews. However, on 14 June 2013, he was admitted to hospital with a serious neck injury requiring surgery, and was forced to relinquish the role for the rest of the tour. O'Keefe believed the injury was aggravated during a performance of the show.

From 2007 until 2009, O'Keefe hosted the quiz show The Rich List and, between 2006 and 2017, took the helm of Weekend Sunrise, which he presented on Saturday and Sunday mornings with journalist Monique Wright. In addition he regularly substituted for David Koch on Sunrise. He presented the program for two weeks whilst Koch was on holidays during the summer period of 2013 alongside his former Weekend Sunrise co-host Samantha Armytage. He no longer fills in on weekdays due to his commitments with The Chase Australia.

In 2005, O'Keefe co-hosted the historic tri-network tsunami appeal Reach Out with fellow presenters Eddie McGuire and Rove McManus on three commercial networks Seven, Nine and Ten. The appeal raised over $20 million for tsunami relief efforts around Asia. The event was such a success that the three teamed up the following year to host the Logie awards. In that same year, he hosted the short-lived Dragons Den.

O'Keefe is a past chairman of the White Ribbon Foundation in Australia, an organisation dedicated to the prevention of violence against women. He was one of the founding members of the campaign in Australia and has been an ambassador since 2004. The campaign is active in schools, workplaces, sports clubs, councils and other community organisations, and seeks to rally men and boys as leaders in the fight against violence.

O'Keefe first started his television career in 2003, starring in Channel Seven's AFI-nominated sketch show Big Bite. Later the same year he began hosting Deal or No Deal.

In 2001, he was a member of the Australian Theatresports team that won the Just for Laughs Improv Tournament at the Montreal Comedy Festival. He played Theatresports most Sunday nights at the Belvoir Street Theatre in Sydney, winning a Cranston Cup series with two-man team Dirty Harry's Bathwater.

He has an AMusA diploma in classical singing (baritone), was the frontman for several Sydney bands in the 1990s and plays trumpet and piano.
