Family Feud host Grant Denyer has been nominated for this year’s Gold Logie, despite his show being cancelled. 

Competing alongside Denyer for the prestigious award is Amanda Keller, Jessica Marais, Tracey Grimshaw, Rodger Corser, and Andrew Winter. 

Denyer has also been nominated this year for Most Popular Presenter.

Denyer announced earlier this month on his 2DayFM radio show Breakfast with Em, Grant & Ed that Family Feud had been axed. 

‘I’ve got a big announcement guys, Family Feud is wrapping up,’ he said.

‘It’s obviously been a huge success for myself and 10. We only thought we would get two years out of it.’

Denyer, who has hosted 1200 episodes of the family game show, offered up a reason as to why the show failed.

‘We’re probably guilty, if anything, of driving it into the ground a little bit too early,’ he admitted.

‘Six days a week, twice a day, plus All Star episodes, we might have squeezed that lemon a little bit too much.’
