Such as an incredible (if true - I’ve never been able to properly verify this) story about getting lost as a little kid during the Sydney 2000 Olympics Torch Relay in Campbelltown? Or being able to do an impromptu “Macarena” performance?!
Unfortunately I don’t have any life stories to tell that a national TV audience is likely to find particularly interesting, so you’re highly unlikely to ever see me become a contestant on Hot Seat! 
It’s a common trap to believe that a story needs to be something that happened to you as well. When I auditioned I told a story about how I have a phobia of character costumes (which is true, but the story was highly embellished). The story got a laugh and kept people engaged for 60 seconds, more so than “I saw Shane Warne at the airport last year”.
I guess my advice would be to come up with anything which is at least tangentially related to you and would keep someone else entertained for 60 seconds. I spoke to the producer and only the producer and that also seemed to work for me.
An unusual prize went off on Hot Seat tonight…
$101,000 as the contestant didn’t use a lifeline on the last question!
Is Hot Seat Production Suspended because of Victoria in a Fifth Lockdown?
No. Broadcast is essential in Victoria in every lockdown thus far.
Plus, they don’t have a studio audience, so are able to continue without any real interruptions.
The first of the Queensland produced Hot Seat episodes are airing on Three in NZ this afternoon.
Those episodes have been airing for the past month or so.
My bad, I heard Eddie acknowledge where they were and all the Tourism bodies, support, The Star GC at the beginning of the episode and assumed it was the first as it sounded that way.
Drama mini series coming to Nine
Quiz tells the story of Charles Ingram, a former British army major, who caused a major scandal after being caught cheating his way to winning £1 million on the game show ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?’
Today the AFL Sunday Footy Show announced that there will be a special edition of Millionaire Hot Seat this Friday at the usual time of 5pm, raising funds for My Room Telethon.
Featuring Tony Jones, Alicia Loxley, Rebecca Maddern, Nathan Brown (AFL Sunday Footy Show), Brody Mihocek (AFL player), and Danny Wallis (bidder from The Block…).
Will it be in all cities? Would be cool to see it here in Sydney.
The My Room Telethon Hot Seat Special has begun airing in South Australia, Tasmania and in Regional Victoria, Southern NSW/ACT and Queensland.
The My Room Telethon special not shown in Queensland today - Brisbane and regions.
Edit - also Sydney.
What an odd choice. Network-wide or AFL states you’d think!
Now it’s airing Everywhere Else.
Not in Sydney either. Just southern states, which fits in with the Footy Show GFE edition also not airing up here.
TV Cynic says it is airing in Sydney. Is it or not?
I’ve just quickly checked after TVC’s post, we’re getting the normal episode with the people in Cynic’s posted shots above.
Not sure where TVC is getting his info from, as I am in Sydney.
