Jeremy Nicholas Cordeaux AM (born 18 September 1945) is an Australian radio and television presenter best known for his work in the talkback radio format.
Cordeaux worked in radio from 1962 to 2021, rising from runner, to presenter and host, to managing director of a radio station. Cordeaux was the host of the Australian TV dating show Blind Date in 1970 and co-anchored the Adelaide edition of Seven News in the late 1980s. His career has also been marred by controversy, from implication in a cash-for-comment affair in 1999, to two DUI charges, to his 2021 sacking for on-air comments about alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins.
Cordeaux has been named Best Talk Show Host in the World three times, and has been inducted into the Australian Commercial Radio Hall of Fame. In 2003, Cordeaux was made a Knight of the Order of St. John (KStJ) for services to broadcasting and the community and, in 2006, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM).
