Krishnan Guru-Murthy Career

Career

Guru-Murthy's career began in 1988 with the BBC's DEF II debate service Open to Question and the youth current-affairs programme Reportage. He starred on BBC2's Asian current affairs programmes East and Network East while at Oxford University. He appeared and reported for children's news show Newsround from 1991 to 1994. He served as a producer and reporter with Newsnight for three years, and was one of BBC News24's founding presenters in 1997.

Guru-Murthy joined Channel 4 News in 1998 and is the second-longest serving host after Jon Snow. He was also the main host of Channel 4 News at Noon between 2003 and 2009. In 2010, and 2014, the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards nominated him for its News Presenter of the Year award.

He has been a host of Channel 4's coverage of ceremonies at the 2012 Paralympics, the 2014 Winter Paralympics, and Richard III's reburial. He appeared on The TV Show and Operation Live. He has hosted The Event – How Racist are You?, The Autopsy, The Exorcism, Number One, The Exorcism, the quiz show Number One, and two series of Going Cold Turkey.

In the first debate between the Exchequer's Chancellor and his counterparts in the 2010 General Election, Guru-Murthy moderated Ask the Chancellors. He also hosted How to Save £100 billion – Live the night before the new government's Emergency Budget was announced.

Guru-Murthy became Channel 4's ambassador for its international affairs programme Unreported World in 2011 and has produced documentaries in Afghanistan, Cambodia, India, Iraq, South Africa, and Yemen.

Guru-Murthy was suspended for a week by Channel 4 after calling Northern Ireland Minister Steve Baker a "cunt" in an off-air comment on October 19th. Guru-Murthy later apologized "unreservedly" to Baker. Channel 4 said it has a stringent code of conduct for employees and "takes any misconduct seriously."

When the former Labour MP was charged for money laundering, Guru-Murthy's February 2010 interview with Jim Devine became the primary evidence. The politician was sentenced to sixteen months in prison.

Quentin Tarantino refused to answer Guru-Murthy's query about a connection between film violence and real-life brutality in January 2013. "I'm not doing this, I'm not taking the bait," the film director replied; "I refuse your question." I'm not your slave and you are not my master. To your tune, you can't make me dance to your tune. "I'm not a monkey"; "It's none of your damn company cares what I think about." "I'm shutting your butt down" is the product of his narrating.

Guru-Murthy referred to Richard Ayoade's interview in October 2014 as "the perfect joke interview." Guru-Murthy's colleague Jon Snow had a fit of laughter off-screen, and Ayoade's more frank responses had reduced him to fits of laughter off-screen.

Robert Downey Jr. walked out of an interview with Guru-Murthy in April 2015 after the journalist inquired about the actor's friendship with his father, heroin use, and alcoholism. The interview has been watched hundreds of times on YouTube. Guru-Murthy said the problem areas had been discussed in advance with Downey's public relations agent.

Guru-Murthy hosted a weekly radio show on LBC 97.3 between 2003 and 2005, and produced the series Hindu Lives on BBC Radio 4 in 2005. He used to write a column in the Metro newspaper and the Asian newspaper Eastern Eye.

Guru-Murthy has appeared in a comedic documentary about Gorillaz as a guest on The News Quiz and Taskmaster, as a guest on The News Quiz and Taskmaster, as well as in cameo appearances for Bremner, Bird and Fortune, Shaun of the Dead and Dead Set.
