Nine revives This Is Your Life
Nine is to revive celebrity bio show This Is Your Life with a new version filmed in front of a live audience at Crown Casino’s The Palms and fronted by Eddie McGuire.
The network last aired the show with a short series in 2008 hosted by Mike Monro who hosted since 1995.
Other previous hosts of the format, which first aired in Australia on Seven in 1975, included Geordi Hunt, Digby Wolfe and Andrew Barbeler.
Mumbrella Nov 10th – Meanwhile, Nine’s National IQ Test, hosted by Eddie McGuire, proved not to be event television, despite the insertion of gamecards into metro newspapers. The show was Australia’s most watched broadcast of 2002 with an audience of 2.8m, but last night’s new version was ninth for the night with 1.03m viewers.
When will the Channel 9 team learn that re-hashing old show formats and fronting them with ‘Everywhere’ Eddie McGuire just does – not – work!
Oh no!!! Please please please……anyone else but Eddie!
Isn’t doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results the definition of insanity?
Sounds like an expensive way of getting 900k viewers…
….so many new ideas at Nine, well worth the government giving the networks $250 million to take the industry forward.
Great news! Can’t wait to hear about the stunning life and achievements of the shallow pool of talent on the nine payroll. Perhaps a 4th round for Kerri-Anne?
this is your life…
…and it’s ending one day at a time
I for one will not be watching another dose of crap hosted by Ediie ..
Ripper! I was getting sick of watching the old repeats on Foxtel!
Thanks for bringing it back lovely Channel 9…lock it in Eddie!
