Rumour: Nine signs Tim Campbell?
Spies have suggested to TV Tonight that Tim Campbell has signed with the Nine Network, possibly to host a new version of Wheel of Fortune.
A spokesperson for Campbell’s management, however, was unaware of the news. They said conversations had taken place with all networks.
Nine signing Campbell might potentially unstick future plans for Seven’s Dancing with the Stars, given he is one of several names that has been suggested as a possible replacement for Daryl Somers.
Campbell is currently appearing as Johnny O’Keefe in Shout -The Musical in Sydney.

Wheel of Fortune
Man I love that show, lets hope Nine can make it a reality..
So would it be fair to say this will be 9’s new lead in too the 6 o’clock news?
Good actors or singers don’t necessarily make good hosts. He wasn’t that great on the Bingo show, so what makes Ch 9 think he’s going to be better on WoF.
Wasnt Wheel Of Fortune a Channel 7 show?
or doesnt that matter cause it has been off air for so long?
David,didn’t he host National Bingo Night? I wonder if Nine may get him to do a “Bingo Commissioner blows whistle” style appearence on ACA?(like what the National Bingo Night Commisionner did last year)
Jie the rights will likely lay with Fremantle and Seven’s option to renew may have expired. At this stage it is all yet to be confirmed.
Do they need ANOTHER game show? Tim wasn’t bad as a host, but he’s not great either. Such a waste to be the next Burgo.
Nothing wrong with being the next burgo lol. He’ll need a mustache though!
Tim will be a great addition to Nine.
