As a member of The Chaser, he is best known for co-writing and appearing on satirical ABC Television shows ''CNNNN'' (2002–2003) and ''The Chaser's War on Everything'' (2006 – July 2009). He formerly co-hosted the drive radio show ''Today Today'' (2004–05) on Triple J with fellow Chaser member Craig Reucassel, and in 2007, he wrote the musical comedy ''Dead Caesar''. Taylor also hosted the mini documentary series 'Australia's Heritage: National Treasures'. With his Chaser colleague Andrew Hansen, Taylor recently made a musical comedy series for Triple J titled ''The Blow Parade'', which became the number one podcast in the country, and won the 2010 ARIA Award for Best Comedy Release. ==Early years== Taylor grew up on Sydney's Northern Beaches and North Shore and, (as with all The Chaser team except Craig Reucassel), attended a private school at the Shore School. After completing secondary school, Taylor undertook an arts degree at the University of Sydney, and also studied playwrighting at NIDA. But at 21, he abandoned playwrighting and went to back to university to study journalism at University of Technology, Sydney. In 1997 he moved to Melbourne after the ABC offered him a journalism cadetship there. For five years, Taylor worked as an ABC journalist, including two years as a court reporter. He covered cases including the murder of toddler Jaidyn Leskie, the fatal Longford gas explosion and the unsuccessful defamation action by the then Victorian premier Jeff Kennett against ''The Australian''.〔 Taylor then moved back to Sydney in 2001 to work full-time for The Chaser's newspaper, and ultimately became a Chaser member. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chris Taylor (comedian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
