I wonder if the show will get ANOTHER host (hey, look what happened with Family Feud!) that could be suitable with the Hot Seat format.

Millionaire would be well off to actually update its web site.  Google lists it as the "Official site of the US syndicated version hosted by Meredith Vieira" while the site claims it airs daily on Chicago's WCIU (it doesn't - actually, I'm not sure any Chicago station airs the show anymore).

It's currently on 26.2, which I think is TheUToo.

Not really a shocker (given that's what started the thread), but Meredith Vieira's show is officially no more.

To be fair, Jeopardy was a lot behind at least when it came to one station listing. As recently as September it still said that they air on WMAR in Baltimore when they hadn't in almost four years following Scripps' dropping of it and Wheel. It looks as if between the time I last saw it and now, they have the right station listed.

That's not on Millionaire, that's on Google. The website's been updated as needed.

Sure, WWTBAM has seen format changes galore (the Shuffle Format, etc.) over the now-14 seasons in syndication, but if it gets renewed again, maybe The Powers-That-Be should consider getting rid of the traditional format and replace it with Hot Seat, which is a faster-paced version.

I could light a cigar faster with a flame thrower than I could with a Zippo. What's your point?

Millionaire Hot Seat has been around for eight series (as they call it) in Australia, and it's still doing OK.
