Craig Reucassel is a member of the Chaser team, and can therefore be held partly responsible for the television programs 'CNNNN', 'The Chaser Decides' and the current cult favourite 'The Chaser's War on Everything', seen on ABC TV on Friday nights.
Craig co-hosted the Triple J drive program 'Today Today' for several years and is a regular contributor to the Chaser on-line newspaper and various Chaser Annuals.
Craig was educated at Bowral High School, where he developed formidable debating abilities, and he honed his comedy skills while scooping ice cream every weekend during his high school senior years at a local ice cream parlour.
