Biography
Like many television presenters, his route in to television was via the radio, although his first career was as a bank clerk.
Even today, mention the classic panel game Blankety Blank and people will remember the encounters between Wogan and Kenny Everett.
His three-times-a-week chat show on BBC 1 was replaced by Eldorado, a disastrous soap opera. Terry has since returned to the radio, although still continues to present Children In Need night and The Eurovision Song Contest.
Trivia
In his native Ireland, he hosted the RTE gameshow Jackpot.
Terry's BBC Radio 2 breakfast show, Wake Up with Wogan, is the UK's most popular. His audience are known as TOGs (Terry's Old Geezers, or Gals) - visit the official website at http://www.togs.org/ for more info.
He was made an honorary KBE in the 2005 Queen's Birthday honours list. He took dual British/Irish citizenship shortly afterwards, thus he can now officially be called "Sir Terry Wogan".
