Impressed by his in-your-face style of questioning, Mediacock has hired Singapore Democratic Party Chief Dr Chee Soon Juan as the new host of 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'
"We think viewers were getting too used to the show," said Mediacock spokesperson Mr. Boh Lang Kuah. "We needed fresh input. Just looking stern and asking, 'Is that your final answer?' was getting damn stale."
Mediacock began looking for someone to replace the present host, Mark Van Cuylenberg, aka the Flying Dutchman. However, no one had that x-factor.
That is, until Dr. Chee began famously stalking Prime Minister Goh and haranguing him about a $17 billion loan to Indonesia.
Mediacock then invited Dr Chee to come in for a test screening where by all accounts, he performed admirably.
"It was frankly, the most exciting questioning we've seen in a long while," said Mr. Boh.
Dr Chee apparently harangued guests with confrontational questions like, "Mr. Tan, won't you answer the question?" and "Where is the money?"
Mediacock has since made Dr Chee a formal offer. However, Dr Chee has not confirmed whether he will accept the position.
Mediacock, however, remains confident. Said Mr Boh, "He'll need lots of help to pay off the defamation damages."
"We think he just needs a little sweetener to close the deal," added Mr. Boh. "So we're promising him a lot of glucose syrup in his dressing room."
