List of Eurovision Song Contest presenters
This page is a list of people who have acted as presenters of the contest.Katie Boyle holds the record for the highest number of contests hosted, with four editions (in 1960, 1963, 1968 and 1974),[1][2] followed by Petra Mede with three editions (2013, 2016 and 2024) and a special (Eurovision Song Contest's Greatest Hits in 2015).[2] Prior to each year's contest, a series of draws have been held to determine differing facets of the contest's production, which typically are presided over by one or more presenters.Historically, a random drawing of lots was held prior to each year's contest to determine the order in which participating countries would perform in the final, and since 2004 in the semi-finals; this was abolished in 2013, when the running order began to be determined by the contest producers.[105] During this draw, the countries are also assigned to perform in either the first or second half of the show; the exact running order is then determined at a later date.
