Host, creative producer and writer, Andrew Younghusband started out as a stage actor, beginning when he was just 15 years of age in St. John’s, Newfoundland. He expanded into radio, television and film. He has also expanded the kind of work he does. For example, he was co-creator writer and an actor on the sitcom series, Dooley Gardens. For the TV series, Tall Ship Chronicles, which he narrated, Younghusband spent 19 months at sea visiting some 50 ports in 20 countries when he joined more than 35 trainees aged 12 to 67 as they learned how to sail. He is most recognized as the host behind such reality-type series as Canada’s Worst Driver (pictured above) and Canada’s Worst Handyman.
