Eddie back in front of the camera

I wonder how many Pie sponsors will sponsor this show  :whistle.

Quote
CHANNEL 9 chief Eddie McGuire is to make a shock return to hosting on his network's much-anticipated quiz show 1 vs 100.

While McGuire was initially reluctant to combine his duties as chief executive with an on-air role, it's believed producers of the show turned to McGuire when an exhaustive search for a host proved fruitless.

Emerging Nine stars, including Jules Lund, were considered for the job, but producers believe 1 vs 100 will be the biggest quiz show Australia has seen and requires an experienced host.

Let's hope the Collingwood show doesn't return to the screen along with Eddie's return.

He's a good presenter but everyone has their day.  Doesn't matter how good you are, when the ppl are sick of you, ratings drop.  Predicting this will happen pretty soon after its extravaganza opening.  As an abysmal failure as CEO, I doubt he'd push his luck trying to promote the Pies too much.  But then again, it's Eddie  ::) and he just can't help himself :wallywink  Hopefully, it will be his downfall.  ;D
