People are buzzing about Australian Television Host Dan Babic

Oprah Winfrey once said, “Don’t worry about being successful. Work toward being significant and the success will naturally follow.” For highly sought-after Australian television host and media personality, Dan Babic, these words from his idol could not be truer. Entertaining has always been about sharing his talents with the world and inspiring his audiences to find comfort in their own skin, in the way that he finds comfort in his. His candor in front of the camera allows his audience to resonate with him and keeps them coming back for more.
When Babic was as young as three years old, his grandparents allowed him to watch the Oprah Winfrey Show, and although he couldn’t quite find the words to describe it at the time, he knew that this was exactly what he wanted to do. With time, this unwavering passion has only grown stronger.
“It is the only thing in my life that I can say I have known for sure. From the moment I first watched her show, I instantly knew that I was meant to be a professional host and an on-camera personality. I grew up in a very regular town where everyone lived a similar life. Few people test their boundaries. They choose the expected, predictable, safe career-choice, but I’ve never been like that. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have found an occupation, industry and place that reflect who I am and what I have to offer the world. I really just wanted to honor the most authentic parts of myself and listen to the voice inside me that lead me to be where I am today, and I wish everyone could be as happy doing what they do as I am when I’m on-screen,” told Babic.
Babic has achieved a wide array of accomplishments with this attitude throughout the years that he has spent in the entertainment industry. His performances have been integral to the success of several television productions like Fashion One’s Design Genuis, and Go Curvy TV Network’s Date ’Em. He is also the lead host of AfterBuzz Television Network, where viewers are itching to watch him and producers are ecstatic to work with him. On the show, he has earned himself a large viewership and well-known post-show interviews for shows like the Mindy Project, the Real Housewives of Melbourne, and more.
Yet, somehow, his combination of raw talent and years of practical experience still don’t define him as an entertainer. When asked about what it is like to work with Babic, CEO of Eclectic Pictures, Heidi Jo Merkel, indicated that although she is familiar with most of Dan’s works, his skill set as a top tier host shone through in his lead role as the host for AfterBuzz TV and he stood out to her as truly extraordinary.
“He hosted numerous versions of AfterBuzz TV, where he hosted the AfterBuzz of series’ such as The Mindy Project, Youngers, Grandfathered, as well as reality TV such as Real Housewives of Melbourne, Vanderpump Rules, and countless others. His magnetic personality, paired with his ability to say what he feels no matter the consequence allowed him to stand out among his hosts as bold and confident, ultimately drawing in even larger viewership based on his lead role. The series which Dan hosted for AfterBuzz was downloaded in audio form more than 20 million times, and was watched in video form more than one million times per week. This is an extraordinary example of success in any facet of the entertainment industry, and the fact that Dan paved the way for such success speaks volumes toward his abilities and impact on the program as a whole,” said Merkel.
Such praise, for Babic, is not uncommon and is undoubtedly the reason that so many production companies are fortunate to be able to work with such a talented television personality.

A highlight for Babic working on the show was the opportunity to work with acclaimed producer Phil Svitek, but for Svitek, the pleasure was all his. Svitek, being the executive producer for AfterBuzz TV has seen Babic thrive in his lead role time and time again. It goes without saying that without Babic, AfterBuzz TV wouldn’t be nearly as successful as it is today. He is a breath of fresh air in the television industry, and his uniqueness shines through in the raw content he generates from his co-stars and in the praise he receives from his followers. His presence on screen undeniably irreplaceable.
Despite his willingness to pursue any role he comes across, Babic has a natural affinity for television hosting. He differentiates himself by his ability to work without a script, a quality that is unheard of in his line of work. You’d scarcely find him rehearsing his lines before a live television segment because he excels in any situation where he gets to improvise and to be himself. He brings about an honesty in his co-stars that you can’t often rehearse. What’s more, he does anything and everything to remain true to himself on screen. He refuses to say something simply because he recognizes that it is what the audience wants to hear. He cares deeply about the experience he is creating for his audience and he will work tirelessly to ensure that it is as authentic, empowering and as enjoyable as possible. “Hosting a TV show isn’t about me or how I look or how I come across, it’s about entertaining the audience,” stated Babic.
So, what is in store for this talented, young entertainer? Ask Babic, and he’ll tell you that he doesn’t know what the future holds for him, but that he will work tirelessly to ensure it is the best he can possibly bring to the industry.
