That’s what I had heard too, when I hinted at a former Nine ex staffer. Would certainly be interesting if she was interested. ---

Again, too newsy. You need to be light in the earlier questions and then pull out the serious when the money gets big. Someone suggested Marc Fennell, and I think he might be a good choice, if you could pull him away from Mastermind. ---

Imagining the reaction if Lisa Wilkinson was announced… Agree with the above, Marc Fennell would be a good option. ---

When you look at Philbin, Tarrant, McGuire, and Clarkson, they are all presenters with a comedic edge (Eddie is debatable). Eddie originated from sports, and usually sports proned into emotional, especially commentary. Some sports commentators, i.e. Phan Dang in Vietnam, usually lapsed himself into the expertise too much. He would, too, have an evangelistic-style when appearing on TV. That is why his tenure on Millionaire Vietnam did not last long, and the production crew there would looking to a half-half comedic and straight man to make Millionaire watchable again ---

Definitely some good names being thrown about for hosting but also many that I would instantly turn off from. I actually like the idea of Kochie which I’m surprised at but it depends how he’d end up taking it in terms of direction. Quarters I like also but as a couple have mentioned I think Amanda Keller could be really good with it too - she can be serious and authoritive but can also have the comedy and has been around TV and radio for a very long time and is quite likeable from the people it seems - hardly in a controversy (except for when it comes to gold logies but she definitely had a lot of support for her stance there) and seems like a genuinely nice person on and off screen. ---

Confirmation on what? Is this about you being confused about which network has the show? Who Wants to be a Millionaire Australia is going to 10. Who Wants to be a Millionaire UK is going to 7. Australia = Channel Ten UK = Channel Seven ---

I doubt it’ll be at 6:00pm. From what I think, it’ll air at 7:30pm on a night when none of their reality tentpole shows (eg MasterChef) is on.
