A local version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? is coming soon to Tuesday nights on TV One, and insiders have indicated that former Breakfast presenter Mike Hosking could be hosting the show.TVNZ announced auditions for the show last month but have remained tight lipped on who will be hosting. The popular game show will be shot in Channel 9's Australian studios to save the cost of building a brand new set, but producers are adamant that the majority of the studio audience will be Kiwis who have moved across the Tasman.
Hosking, now a NewstalkZB radio host, recently returned to TVNZ as a back-up host for current affairs show Close Up while regular back-up Paul Henry is on holiday.
Some have also specualted Breakfast presenter Paul Henry as a possible Millionaire host. His holiday has now extended to at least ten weeks, leaving viewers wondering if he will be taking a different role at TVNZ in the future.
While some viewers have described Mike Hosking's presenting style as a little too "toffee-nosed", I think he would be a great choice. It would be nice to see somebody other than Jason Gunn and Simon Barnett for a change!

he is toffee nosed..and he looks like he has just escaped from a mental hospital. im suprised TVNZ even took im bak after the finally managed to get rid of him in 05??? i think it was..along wit that upstuck kate...
im from simple backgrounds...and have done little with my life in some ppls eyes..
i have ruled any parties..or commented on my "political" issues....but Mike is not an avergae NZers and wouldnt be one that most NZ'lander would associate with
unlike eddie Mc>>>> who seems to be a well like average australian "joker" who u can have a run in with and a joke over a go "VB"
I think perhaps that the reason why the Media Fetishist is a fan of Mike Hosking is his scruffy look...currently the Media Fetishist is rather resembling Mike Hosking circa 2005 (i.e. before he got the Closeup gig and was forced to tidy up a bit).
Btw, I'm rather confused by Anonymous' comment above. They seem to be missing some letters & words in crucial places. Not at all up to the high grammatical standard I have come to expect from Media Fetish.
