Dear channel 10, please grab a brain and forget all about hiring Matty Johns. I think the nation has been dumbed down enough as it is.

I may as well be a lone voice here, but of all the former footy players to take to our screens I think Matthew is a very decent host, and has impressive comedic skills (whether they be to your taste or not).

That said I certainly don’t condone his actions, I think Nine did the only thing they could by standing him down, and I really don’t know how the public at large will react to him being back on screens, especially in a non-footy role.

Oh please – the man has managed to get away with being responsible for bad television for years. Don’t give him the opportunity to return to our screens with more purile rubbish. Ugh! What a joke.

I wish I was a bogan, so I could have a TV career too.

I wish i was a bogan so I could enjoy TV again. Programs today are aimed at people with a 3 sec memory – same ole same ole.

Micallef. Yes. Matt Johns. To paraphrase Phil Gould, No. No. No. No. No.

There’s so much talent out there, and as much as I think this is a beat up by his camp to push up his asking price, it just shows that you can have your name dragged through the manure and still come up smelling like roses.

l am not a fan of mathew johns, kyle sandilands,clare werebilof, but it seems the low lifes get rewarded for being that, low lifes the media turns there life inside out with all sorts of storys and some spin doctor accusations which we read & view because we really dont have a choice, as the media bombards us with there antics 24 hours a day, finally the t.v. networks pick up the pieces and give them highly paid jobs , is this not complete madness

@Ronnie – Who knows? Maybe. Probably. I’m just gob-smacked that anyone – even Singleton – would represent him. Unfortunately, unlike you, I can’t veto Channel 10 they have some of my favourite shows.

Please Ten no don’t do it. I’d rather see the chick chick boom girl or peter andre on our screens that someone who makes fun of minority groups for ratings.

I for one will not be watching.

@Ronnie If you don’t have a ratings box then you’re only punishing yourself.

Variety show and Matty Johns seems like strange mix.
Don’t do it Ten !

Mathew Johns is damaged goods. Good luck to them all but it all seems creepy. When he made his cameo appearances for the footy show skits virtually no one laughed as everyone was thinking about his past behaviour.

Does Ten realise he isn’t a comedian? It usually helps if your actually naturally funny to host a variety show.

Spending cash on this bozo really goes to show what idiots TV execs are. Come to think of it Johns is actually a perfect candidate to run a TV network!
