About the show
One iconic New Zealander will be surprised with the words 'This Is
Your Life', as Paul Holmes and guests celebrate the life and work
of a Kiwi who has made a significant contribution to New
Zealand.
From athletes and activists, to authors, academics and
adventurers, over the years the roll call of This Is Your Life
honourees has grown to include some of our most famous and
influential names:
Mark Todd, John Walker, Selwyn Toogood, Charles Upham, Rowena
Jackson, William Pickering, George Nepia, Sonja Davies, Nola
Luxford, Ann Crawford, Sir Edmund Hillary, Davina Whitehouse, Dick
Taylor, Brian Mason, Dame Whina Cooper, Alan Grant, Peter McIntyre,
Eve Rimmer, Colin Meads, Barbara Ewing, Fred Ladd, Sir Geoffrey
Cox, Dame Cath Tizard, Lois Muir, Sir Howard Morrison, Johnny
Checketts, Dame Kiri Te Kanawa, Grant Fox, Sir Peter Blake, Michael
Jones, Graham Lowe, Dame Malvina Major, Lance Cairns, Rob Guest,
Peter Snell, Jonah Lomu, A J Hackett, and Scott Dixon.
They've all been honoured with what rugby legend Colin Meads once described as being, "as close as you can get to a knighthood without actually getting one."
