Kanoa Lloyd - Our new episode with one of New Zealand’s top broadcasters has it all!

Kanoa Lloyd has been in the public eye for more than a decade.

She became a household name as one of the three inaugural presenters of 7pm current affairs / entertainment show The Project where she stayed for seven years.

But it hasn’t all been easy.

After the cancellation of The Project and the closure of Newshub she stepped out of the spotlight, but we were thrilled to spend time with her to chart her career path:

• from her time on Squirt and Sticky TV

• why she quit Mai FM

• her controversial stint presenting the weather

• her eventual role hosting The Project, and the realities of live TV and the bloopers that come with it

Kanoa is great company, there were a ton of laughs in this episode mixed in with some thoughtful periods of introspection.

Best Laugh: Kanoa describing how awkward she used to get around certain men on the set of The Project.

Best Insight: Despite shifting behind the scenes for the moment, Kanoa suggests haven’t seen the last of her on TV.

Biggest Surprise: Her career moves were never planned with an end goal in mind, she just went with the opportunities that were presented to her.
