Beau Ryan

Beau Ryan is an Australian former professional rugby league footballer and television personality living in Sydney who played for the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks and the Wests Tigers in the National Rugby League. 

From 2009, Ryan began making regular "comedic" appearances on The Footy Show, and in 2010 started his own "comedy" segment, "Beau Knows...". He has also created two popular characters; DJ Yallah, an Egyptian-Australian DJ from Bankstown and Donnie Palmer, a Titans trainer who is obsessed with doing stretches. Other material includes sketches mocking fellow NRL players.

In 2018 Beau Ryan co-hosted a breakfast radio show with John Stanley on the ill-fated Macquarie Sports Radio network. Beau was let go, replaced by ex-footballer Mark "Piggy" Riddell.

In 2019, he was announced as the host of Network 10's revival of The Amazing Race Australia, replacing Grant Bowler, who hosted the earlier Seven Network iteration of the show.
