Taken Out is an Australian television dating game show that was originally broadcast on Network Ten between 1 September 2008 and 26 February 2009.

[1] International versions were developed using various titles, starting in 2008 in Denmark as Dagens Mand [da] (Today's Man) and in 2009 in the Netherlands as Take Me Out.

[2] A rebooted Australian version, renamed to Take Me Out, hosted by comedian Joel Creasey, aired on the Seven Network from 3 September until 27 November 2018.

[3] Versions have also been made in Sweden, Indonesia, Japan, China, Spain, Finland, Thailand, Germany, Italy, France, Malaysia, Taiwan, Canada (Quebec), Vietnam and Lebanon.

During the course of the game, the host presents information and videos about the single person and based upon this information, the thirty people periodically decide independently, if they should 'leave their light on' and stay in the game with the chance to date the single person or to 'turn their light out' and exclude themselves.

During the whole process Kerley walks around the arena and chats with the women asking for their opinions of the single man and why they had kept their light on or turned it off.

If either person is still interested in the other, there is an opportunity to attend a rendezvous at the Eureka Tower observation deck, where champagne and views of Melbourne at night await.
