On the day that John Laws left 2UE, Daryl Summers left Dancing With the Stars. The show that brought the Hey Hey It’s Saturday Host back into prime time on a show that wins its timeslot very convincingly.
With Summers gone, who will host Dancing?
Seven have a few personalities such as Grant Denyer, Tom Williams and Andrew O’Keefe but Jamie Durie would be another contender having all ready waltzed his way through a series.
Dancing’s last season finished last week with its lowest ratings thanks largely to man of the moment David Beckham.
The timing for Summers to move on opens the door for new hosts much like Grettel Killen’s axing from Big Brother with Kyle and Jackie O taking over the controversial reality TV show.
If Jamie Durie’s busy American schedule can accommodate a hosting stint with Dancing With the Stars then he is the one to do it.
Grant Denyer all ready hosts Australia’s Got Talent and It Takes Two and does not do that all too well. Andrew O’Keefe does not quite feel right and Tom Williams has been announced as the host of Gladiators.
Seven may look to Todd McKenny as his relationship with Sonia Kruger is brilliant as the two have just been signed to Mix 106.5 breakfast show.
Or maybe even promote Kruger herself to the top job and put a male in the backroom. That’s where Denyer could be a frontrunner or perhaps Seven have other plans and are set to unveil a new host.
Looking further a field to programs such as City Homicide, All Saints and Home and Away there doesn’t seem to be too many Seven personalities capable of the hosting role.
Jim Waley and Jana Wendt are still unemployed…
