Liz Trinnear is a Canadian television presenter, best known as a former VJ on MuchMusic and an entertainment reporter for eTalk.[1]

Originally from London, Ontario, Trinnear joined MuchMusic after winning the 2009 edition of VJ Search.[2] As the channel reduced its dependence on music videoflow programming in the 2010s, she began also working as an entertainment reporter for eTalk, although she remained in both roles for the first half of the decade and was cohost of the 2015 Much Music Video Awards with Tyrone Edwards and Ed Sheeran.[1] When Much fully dropped music programming in the latter half of the decade, eTalk became her primary role.

Alongside Edwards, Traci Melchor, Elaine Lui, Chloe Wilde, Sonia Mangat and Priyanka, she was a Canadian Screen Award nominee for Best Host, Talk Show or Entertainment News at the 12th Canadian Screen Awards in 2024 for eTalk.[3]
