Eddie McGuire suggests Sam Pang as new host

Eddie McGuire has shared his thoughts on a potential reboot of the game show, "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" He hosted the program on Channel Nine from 1999 to 2023 and believes the show is ready for a comeback with a new host. McGuire suggested comedian Sam Pang as a potential host. He thinks Pang's enthusiasm and humor would fit well with the show's format. McGuire expressed hope that if the show returns, it will be executed successfully. He pointed out the global appeal of the show's structure, highlighting the success of the movie "Slumdog Millionaire." While there has been speculation about the show's return, nothing has been confirmed yet. The previous version of the show, "Millionaire Hot Seat," was canceled in early 2023. McGuire reminisced about the memories the show created for families and shared how much he enjoyed meeting contestants from different backgrounds. In the meantime, Sam Pang recently launched a new late-night talk show, but its debut received mixed reviews from viewers. Despite this, sources suggest Pang aims to create a unique style for the program that sets it apart from others in Australia.
