In 2008, Kerley hosted Taken Out, a dating show on Network Ten. The show featured 30 female contestants who eliminate themselves from contention to date a single male contestant as facts about him are revealed over three rounds. The man can then select a winner from the remaining women to go on a date with him. The show was axed after 19 episodes after receiving mediocre ratings. In 2009 all the episodes produced were screened on Channel [V] and have since been repeated.
