Title: New Countdown host named
Post by: brianhenke on November 28, 2006, 11:00:59 PM
No one's mentioned this, but Countdown has a new host.
 
   He's Des O'Connor, who once hosted a UK-produced US variety show, Kraft Music Hall: The Des O'Connor Show back in 1970 (and he once appeared on Concentration to promote it).

   If anyone wants a link, I'll post it later.

   The 1988 Winter Olympics were held in Thunder Bay, Ontario?
