Can We Say, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"??
Holden to replace BertAccording to The Daily Telegraph, the local television industry is abuzz with speculation that Australian Idol judge Mark Holden is being groomed to host a program that will replace Bert Newton's Good Morning Australia from 2006.
It is rumoured that Newton's contract with Network Ten has been in doubt since his program began losing viewers to Nine's Mornings With Kerri-Anne.
Holden temporarily filled Newton's shoes when the iconic presenter was hospitalised earlier this year. "I tried it out and I must say I really enjoyed it," Holden told the Daily Telegraph.
Ten has not confirmed the supposed substitute nor the matter of Moonface's future. Holden also denied he'd been approached by the network, stating: "Ten sees me as the guy who does Australian Idol".
The former teen pop sensation has publicly expressed his desire to do other things in television in addition to Idol, or when the series ends. His inspiration may have been drawn from Ian "Dicko" Dickson's successful departure from the talent show to My Restaurant Rules on rival network Seven.

Ewww! Ewwww! That's just WRONG! You can't replace Bert, especially not with a man who has all the wit and sensibility of a lobotomised monkey.

i personaly hate the idea of holden doing it. first of all, like you said, he just isn't interesting. they need someone with more of a spark. maybe that guy who used to host the music videos. he kind of looked like a monkey. he's got a lot of personality....possible too much. but it would definately make television more intersting!
I can just imagine him hosting a show like GMA, and shouting, "Touchdown!!!"
o.0
Eep.
well, i can imagine him shouting "touchdown" on gma. i can also imagine changing the chanel;)
