Still no host for The Voice?

By David Knox on January 2, 2012 / Filed Under News 14

Despite the rumours, we still don’t have an official host for Nine’s new talent series The Voice.

Media speculation last year tipped Darren McMullen, but while the big name judges were confirmed at Nine’s 2012 launch, execs were tight-lipped on the host.

At the ARIA Awards, backstage host Jabba cheekily threw in a “See you on The Voice.” But TV Tonight understands that’s about the sum total of it.

Recently former Australian Idol co-host James Mathison seems to have become one of Nine’s new go-to guys.

On New Year’s Eve he was presenting live crosses from the Sydney Resolution concert with Pet Shop Boys, Jamiroquai and Culture Club. He was also a Logies Red Carpet presenter in May, having previously been aligned with TEN.

With his Idol experience, could he be one of the front-runners?

Former Idol co-presenter and avid photographer Andrew Gunsberg, who has recently split from wife Noa Tishby will next be seen on ABC, presenting Photo Finish.

    Agree, James Mathieson would be a major turn-off factor. Never understood how he’s got to where he is. There’s not much going on.

    What about Tim Campbell? Is he still on Nine’s books?

    I personally would like to see James Mathison host The Voice. I liked him on Idol.

    David Campbell would be a good host…he is a triple threat in this business and has full understanding of what contestants would be going through.

    I believe there are no open auditions.

    I already been seeing “2012″ ads featuring the Voice… Which made me think that the auditions are already held, but I haven’t heard anything and since they don’t have a host yet, I’d be keen to try out!

    He’s a bore … totally wrong for The Voice … needs to be someone with some musical talent as well …. biggest problem is that it is on Nine and they have an unappealing stable of talent …

    A wrong choice of host will severely damage the show ….

    Are Shelly Craft & Jules Lund not available?

    James Mathison should stick to the ‘send you to sleep’ tapes. His voice would not suit a pumped up show.
