The show needs to be entertaining, the previous iteration is too slow and dull with a host like that nowadays.

10 could also try Michael Hing. He has done news, comedy and also an experienced game show host. I dont know, just someone that is not overexposed.
Donât think Hing has got quite the gravitas for a role like this.

He hosted Celebrity Letters and Numbers. And that failed. As a host of that, sadly, he wasnât polished enough.

That comes across as a bit of a smart alec response to my eyes.
She reads the news 5 nights a week as well, that would probably need to be changed.

How about Sarah Harris? Sheâs got the right kind of vibe I reckon, quite authoritative presenting style and likable - mixes it up a little having a female host.
Donât mind the idea of someone like Alex Cullen, heâs certainly got a lot of support on his side after his sacking.
A bit left field, would Kochie do a show like this?
Lee Lin Chin?

As soon as it came to me I thought the same too, what an amazing host she would be! Would love to see that.

If they wanted her to do it, it would not be a barrier - she would have been hardly the first person to commute to do a game show, nor would she be the first person to take leave from their day job to do another show.
If they tightened the show up a bit and were ok with having a carry-over contestant (a bit like they did in the early days) you might be able to do a half-hour episode over a couple of days a week.

Inspired. And a get.
This is a silly question but are they doing episodes for civilian contestants - and if so, have they announced a casting call ?
I wouldnât mind putting my hat in to play.

Left-field, but what if 10 brings out a game show hour with this.
Deal & Millionaire in 30 minute slots each?

What about shake things up and have a double header presenter format?
Both are interstate friends and colleagues of some 35 years too.
And both have done entertainment/non-news programming at Ten in the past, more so Sully (hi! 
)
Quarters used to fill-in occasionally for Bert Newton and David Reyne on their 2000s morning shows, also recall a Family Feud with Grant Denyer special once or twice sort of 2015/2016.

A few years ago Lee Lin Chin was my first choice to be the host of the Australian revival of The Weakest Link prior to Magda Szubanski getting the nod.

Since her career was mostly limited to SBS, lots of people wouldnât know who she is, which is a shame because I think her personality would gel well with an under 30s audience.
This Play School parody, and the videos promoting Sydney Metroâs Station Link buses several years ago come to mind.

Peter Ford reported this morning that Liz Hayes has been approached to host the new local version on Ten.
He said that Liz is not that interested but the offer has gone out to her.
