Gretel for Logies host?

They're not due until May but already the rumours on Logie hosts begins.

gretel_002News Limited today reports that Gretel Killeen is a hot tip to host the 2009 Logie Awards.

This would make her only the second woman in the 51-year history of the Logie Awards ceremony to have a solo honour. Wendy Harmer hosted in 2002, but copped a lot of flak for the job.

Other females have co-hosted including Fifi Box, Lisa McCune and Georgie Parker.

Yesterday Channel 9 refused to comment when Killeen’s name was put to them. It is understood Nine has been working on an exclusive deal to announce the Killeen appointment with co-sponsor TV Week.

According to the article, this year’s Logies producers are said to be trying to make the show younger.

Despite a push earlier this year by Queensland, the event remains at Crown Casino this year on May 3rd.

  1. Yeh, come on Nine just choose Gretel and leave it at that. Something different. A great host, entertaining, smart, witty and a new personality for you. Who else would be a contender for hosting I wonder? Hopefully no member of the Today show, Kerryanne, and Getaway team are running for host. Nine said they want to use Karl and Lisa more, but hopefully not for this.

  2. Truly, it blew me away seeing mike munro on seven, i knew he left nine, but seven after all of these years? that shocked me more than seeing ian ross at 7. nine was mad letting munro go, should of thrown more $ at the guy! But, i definitely think gretel would be a great hit for nine, i think its about time nine start taking some personalities back instead of letting them all just walk off in the sunset with viewers in hand. Go Gretel, i know you can do it, you did wonders for ten big time, i wonder if they will be spewing now? it’ll be good to c u back on air, cant wait.!
