Larry Emdur opened up on Sunday about his secret to maintaining a successful career in the media for over 35 years.
The Morning Show co-host, 59, revealed his success ultimately came down to a positive attitude.
‘You’ve got no way of dictating the future. One audition to the next, those contracts can be a one month stint or even one episode,’ he told The Daily Telegraph.
‘I like to think I’ve been nice. When a show gets axed people can show varying levels of respect. I’ve always been grateful for any opportunity and been a reasonable character in a real cat fight of a business.’
Emdur added he ensured he had a successful side gig to to fall back on should he stop getting offered presenting work.

The TV star, who hosted The Price is Right in the early ’90s on Channel Nine, revealed his success ultimately came down to a positive attitude
‘I learnt very early that I can’t rely on TV. I’m very interested in property, that’s my side hustle. For many years of my life TV for me, as far as a bank balance, was my part-time job.’
In 2021, Larry took over hosting duties on The Chase Australia and he wasn’t afraid to splash some of that heard-earned salary, buying a derelict block in Berowra Waters for $1million.
It was the latest in a string of acquisitions by Larry and his wife-of-29-years, Sylvie, who in recent years have been quietly assembling an impressive property portfolio across New South Wales.
According to The Daily Telegraph, Larry and Sylvie purchased a ‘derelict bushland block’ in Neverfail Bay.
The reclusive property, along the banks of Berowra Creek, is only accessible by boat and the block of land, which last sold for $575,000 in 1999, was purchased by the Emdur’s for $1million.
In 2017, Larry and Sylvie sold their clifftop mansion in Dover Heights for a record $11.5million to celebrity account Anthony Bell.
‘You’ve got no way of dictating the future. One audition to the next, those contracts can be a one month stint or even one episode,’ he told The Daily Telegraph. ‘I like to think I’ve been nice. I’ve always been a reasonable character in a real cat fight of a business’
The deal was easily the biggest ever for a house in the sought-after beachside suburb, which is home to many well-heeled socialites.
Larry and Sylvie met in the 1990s on a plane while she was working as a flight attendant.
They tied the knot in 1995 and went on to have two children, son Jye, 28 and daughter Tia, 23.
In an interview for The Sunday Telegraph’s Body+Soul, the couple revealed they have a pact to create memories by doing something crazy every year while they can.
