Good news from the world of light entertainment! Showbiz gnome Grant Denyer has announced his return to your television, six long months after being ousted from Million Dollar Minute by balding Judas Simon Reeve. Please start organising your Grant Party!
For the second time in his career, Denyer will leave the bosom of Channel Seven – this time to rival network Ten to host a gritty reboot of Family Feud. It’s his first gig since the rumours that he and wife Chezzi checked into a Thai rehab clinic to treat a $4000-a-week meth habit. But why don’t we let Grant tell Grant’s story!
“The silver lining is this Ten deal is a fresh start. I can stand up and get back into work. I feel better… I look better. I’m ready to give one thousand per cent, and that’s a cool prospect to have.”
Last September, Denyer famously said he “never, ever wanted to be a game show host”, making his new job at least slightly ironic. But one big question remains unanswered: how will he live up to the weird hair standard set by his Family Feud predecessors Rob Brough and Bert Newton?
