Liz Gunn has 30+ years of presenting and interviewing experience under her belt. After working as a litigation lawyer, Gunn began presenting magazine show Sunday for TVNZ in the early 1990s, then filled in on Radio New Zealand. She became a familiar face on television, including launching long-running magazine show Good Morning and newsreading for weekend bulletins. In 2001 she surprised audiences and her Breakfast co-host  Mike Hosking by quitting the show live on air. After 2020, Gunn's attention turned to politics; she founded the New Zealand Loyal Party in 2023, but dissolved the party the following year.

“With everyone doing their own separate devices now, there’s a lack of coming together which we had in that first year of Good Morning when people across New Zealand would call or fax in with their views and encouragements and it felt — on a lot of mornings — as if we were having a wonderful, nationwide town hall meeting of caring Kiwi souls! That caring and connecting is what I most loved about TV.”
