The beautiful and sensuous Brooke Burke is recognized worldwide as the hottest tour guide and adrenaline junkie on E!'s popular travel series, "Wild On," seen in 120 countries and in more than 400 million homes. Having now completed her "Wild On" assignment, Brooke has segued to hosting E!'s popular new pop culture countdown series, "Rank." The show rates everything in entertainment, from Hollywood's sexiest stars to the best date movies and continues to expose Brooke to an adoring audience!
During her three-year stint as host of "Wild On," Brooke redefined the term exotic location. She has guided tours from the Australian outback to the Mayan Riviera, and from the endangered Bamboo forests of Bali to the hyperthyroid nightlife of the world's most exotic party capitals. From grasping the fin of a wild shark in Belize to flying a Russian MIG 17 at negative g's, this is the wild child who has done it all. Born with a thirst to explore, Brooke experiences each country as a culture, not as a tourist. She's taken by the people and the environment and absorbs it all.
Raised in Tucson, Arizona, Brooke developed an affinity for the desert as a child and never envisioned herself as a Hollywood personality or television star. "When I was young, I wanted to do something innocuous, like become a drummer in a rock and roll band," says Burke, whose French, Irish and Portuguese descent make up her stunningly exotic visage.
Brooke was discovered by a local Arizona modeling agency, after which she won an acting scholarship, and soon moved to Los Angeles where she began her studies in broadcast journalism at UCLA. While there, she signed contracts with several prestigious modeling agencies that ultimately led to dozens of magazine covers, billboards, swimsuit editorials, catalogues and posters. She has also appeared in many popular television commercials.
