Crown
Casino News: Bert’s On His Own At TV Logies -
15th March 2010
He
first hosted it in 1967 and he has been lead presenter
for the past 20 years, but this year Nine’s veteran
star Bert Newton is to fly solo as the host of the
TV Week Logie Awards from Crown Casino. A copy of
TV Week’s exclusive cover story was leaked yesterday,
revealing the name of the host and also the special
guests: Britain’s Got Talent runner-up Susan
Boyle, singer-songwriter John Mayer and Aria award-winning
artist Gabriella Cilmi are the headline acts. Newton,
the host of 20 to 1, is always good value at the Logies
as he is the master of the ad lib and he told TV Week
he would only do the show unscripted. Anyway, he can’t
do worse than former Big Brother host Gretel Killeen
last year. (Credit:

Media
Man - Greg Tingle Analysis and Commentary
Bring
on The Logies. Bert Newton is a safe bet as host,
that's for sure. Nine's not gambling with this choice.
Nothing like those decades of experience to see a
host through the night. Bert still has the wit and
edge to keep em amused. He's also in tune with the
market and society, so it should be relevant. David
(and James) can trust this guy not to screw it up,
or screw the network. The only other guy I would trust
as much would be Hugh "The Wolverine" Jackman,
but he may be busy sharpening his claws, or collecting
another Marvel Entertainment pay cheque. Look up WWE
- WCW - TNA Wrestling for an insider track on risk
management and network VS ego scenarios. No Hugh,
this doesn't apply to you. It's been said power and
money corrupt... The event may be held in a world
class casino, but with Bert fronting things and News
Limited's The Oz on the trail, this event should be
squeaky clean. Drunk footballers and mugs, do us all
a favor and stay away, or JP's army may have to bring
out the plastic handcuffs! Could be some real life
"Underbelly" action coming up too. Media
Man books are full, so no phone calls or emails please...
try Max at Markson Sparks! or Harry M at you know
where. My spies tell me the likes of Betfair,
BetUS,
Centrebet
and PartyBets
may be taking bets on a range of potential happenings
leading up to and during the festivities. If you want
the real inside track you may have to check out the
Casino News
Media site (as I don't think media embedded ala
Bush War On Terrorism, TV Week, is going to let the
cat out of the bag). As always, bet with your head,
not over it, and for God's sake, keep it fun. Network
Nine, you've hit the jackpot again.
PS:
Crown Limited has a plan to initially employ 75 Indigenous
Australians, and as part of Generation One, the ultimate
goal of the business network is for 75,000 sustainable
positions. It will be interesting to see if any new
recruits are on duty come the big show, and if so,
just what ratbags may keep them busy. Paps, keep those
cameras ready, ya never know who will provide the
next bingle or wardrobe malfunction. Oh, let Bert
vote for himself.
