Marilyn Denis' (born July 1, 1958) is a Canadian television and radio personality. Born in Edmonton, Alberta, she grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and received a bachelors degree in radio, television and advertising from the University of Idaho. Denis frequently refers on air to her parents who reside in Calgary.

She has been married and divorced. Her only son, Adam was born in April 1988.

She lived in Scarborough, Ontario for a number of years but recently sold that home and moved into downtown Toronto.

Denis has talked openly about the multiple plastic surgery procedures she has undergone, including rhinoplasty and facelift.^{[citation needed]}

She began her broadcasting career at a local radio station in Moscow, Idaho, and later moved to Calgary where she worked at CJAY-FM. In addition, she was a sports and entertainment reporter and weather announcer at CFCN-TV and TSN.

From June 1986 until present, Denis has been one of the co-hosts of CHUM-FM's Roger, Rick and Marilyn morning show, now the "Roger, Darren and Marilyn Morning Show" after the departure of Rick Hodge in June 2008. From 1989 to May 2008, she also hosted the syndicated daytime talk show CityLine on Citytv and A-Channel.

In 2005 and 2006 she won the Viewer's Choice Award at the Gemini Awards.

In 2007, she won the Gemini for Best Host in a Lifestyle/Information series for CityLine.

With the CTVglobemedia purchase of CHUM Limited, and the subsequent sale of five Citytv stations to Rogers Media mandated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, Denis temporarily found herself working for two separate media competitors. To resolve this situation, Denis announced that she would be leaving CityLine after 19 years to pursue current and future projects with the CTV network. Denis hosted her last show on May 23, 2008.^[1]

In June 2008, Denis announced she will be hosting a new show, The Marilyn Denis Show, on CTV. Little more was heard about this until June 2010 when CTV announced that the program would premiere in fall 2010. However, due to studio construction the program premiered on January 10, 2011 on CTV.^[2]
