Zambora: “why not give Eddie a decent show- even something different (hosting current affairs)”

Wasn’t he a stand-in host for ACA a while ago? I didn’t see a measureable amount of him to form a judgement; someone who has could better decide whether he should keep doing it.

Don’t forget Andrew’s This Is Your Laugh on 7HD (although if you’ve seen it, you no doubt want to)

Does this mean the rumo’ that ‘Millsy’ was going to host LMAD was just that…a rumor?

Please let it be so!!

I <3 Eddie.
And I <3 Scott Brennan.
I really wanna see if this pilot – even if it’s not picked up, would be awesome.

Game shows are not dead, they just have to be easy for the audience to follow, enjoyable to watch and usually it helps if you can “play at home” like answering questions, etc. Recent attempts at games shows have been either too complicated to follow, too stupid to watch or had an inappropriate host.

Having said that, using the same person to host multiple shows – Eddy or otherwise – is the fastest way to over-expose that person ultimately resulting in viewers split between shows and overall underperformance.

At $5million dollars a year, I would expect Nine will start wanting to get some money for their buck. Remember, Eddie’s salary is the same as many shows which have been given the axe (ie: Sunday and Nightline).

I’m sure I read somewhere – probably here – that most people in the industry think games shows are dead. In fact, I think it might of been Len Downes – GTV9′s programming manager. But hold on a minute. The GTV9 programming manager is saying game shows are dead, but GTV9 is piloting new game shows. Im confused !!!
