Is "Millionaire" over?
« on: December 11, 2006, 12:08:14 PM »
According to Radio-Info, Meredith Viera on today's (12/11) "Today" show mentioned that she took a couple of days off last week to finish up "Millionaire", then quipped that she was "down to one job now" (to that effect).

Was that some indication that Millionaire will not return next season? Or, best case scenario, that they're looking for a new host?

Or it could be an indication that the season is over, and all Meredith has to worry about now is "Today."

This sounds about right. I believe they wrap up their season by December. There was a thread last week or so where someone was shocked that they were already taping eps. to air next summer.

I don't think it's anything to worry about :-)

I may be able to tell you later this week who hosted the 12/8 taping... a friend of one of my teaching colleagues was going to that taping to take the audition test.

I hope we didn't just jeopardize a confidence with the producers by revealing that.    :)
Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I can't speak for the producers but it's fine with us.
