The site's NATPE preview says that ABC stations may replace the venerable quizzer with a talk show hosted by, of all people, Tamron Hall. Yep, we're talking about the lady who got the ax herself on Today to make way for, again of all people, Megyn Kelly.
I've only seen Tamron Hall a few times on Investigation Discovery, where she was beyond bland and über-dull. But a Disney exec touts her as "intelligent, authoritative, relatable, credible, warm and caring." If you say so. But I'll bet right now that her talker doesn't last for seventeen seasons. I doubt that it will make season two.
Millionaire has never been a major hit as a syndie, but the quizzer has always poked along with okay numbers. Still, all things must pass, as an ex-Beatle once sang. Meanwhile, Fox is prepping for this fall's nationwide launch of 25 Words or Less, the Password knockoff with Meredith Vieira.
What goes around comes around. You probably recall who hosted syndie Millionaire for its first eleven seasons. By the way, the TV News Check story also predicts the end for Steve Harvey's talk show. Don't worry, Steve, you've always got the Family Feud gig. Maybe for seventeen seasons, or more.
