Steve Judkins is a Australian-born vocalist and actor who has co-hosted and served as commentator for the live show BattleBots: Destruct-A-Thon from February 2023 until August 2024.
He was one of several talents hired specifically for the show, as main season BattleBots hosts Chris Rose and Kenny Florian could not attend due to commitments with other projects. Judkins currently hosts alongside former Comedy Central BattleBots presenter Bil Dwyer.
In the absence of ring announcer Faruq Tauheed, Judkins also serves to introduce teams through the tunnel for each live event.
