Career

Television

Voss has hosted several of Nine Network's rugby league-related TV shows. He began appearing on The Footy Show in 1997 as a regular guest, starring in different sketches and in group discussions. In 2009, he became co-host of the show, but in 2010, returned to minor duties on the program, including the clips/bloopers segment "Stuff You May Have Missed".

In 2002, he became host of Boots N' All (until its cancellation in 2006), and following that The Sunday Roast until 2011. In this time he was the Nine's Network's number-two rugby league caller behind Ray Warren. In 2012 he was demoted to the number three caller behind Ray Hadley. This occurred after Hadley strongly criticised Voss for questioning the likeness of a statue of Warren erected in Warren's home town of Junee, New South Wales. Voss then sued Hadley for defamation, but the matter was settled before it went to court.[1]

Throughout his career, Voss has covered various other sporting events, including the Sydney Olympic Games, Melbourne Commonwealth Games and the Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. He travelled to London in 2012 to cover the 2012 Summer Olympics.

In 2006, Voss was the voice of the ice on Torvill and Dean's Dancing on Ice, while in 2009 he was fill-in presenter on the Nine Network's Today between Mondays and Thursdays, in addition to presenting every Friday in place of Cameron Williams.
