We’ve had this millionaire fever before, and it has given birth to Bb. joyce Bernal’s Mahal Kita, Final Answer a few years ago. But back then, it was typecastedly hosted by Best “Poker Face” Actor Christopher De Leon. Far from the tradition of Banker in Deal or No Deal and Edu Manzano in The Weakest Link, TV-5 casted Bossing Vic Sotto as the new Pinoy host of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? It’s apparently feeding from the recent Slumdog Millionaire craze, but could it be a hit again? The host in the movie, after all, was one of the bad guys. He gave Jamal a wrong answer and sent the slumdog boy to the police for violent interrogation. So yeah, the new host has to be somebody people trust. Well, good luck to Bossing Vic. If anyone, despite your age, you’re kinda channeling Dev Patel while wearing that suit. Plus it’s now 2 million for the jackpot, and guess who’s one of the guest celebrities in the first episodes–Manilyn Reynes of course!
