Nice one Mr. G!

  1. One of the (many) reasons reasons that AusIdol died in the butt (apart from Vyle, apart from Shrieky-Lee, and apart from running out of decent talent) was the departure of James Matheson as co-host, leaving Andrew G sailing a sinking ship. James made the show fun, his co-host was bland.

    But it’s no longer Andrew G, it’s Andrew “I’m not Andrew G anymore, I’m using my surname, and oh by the way, here’s my latest photo exhibition where I’ve taken a photo of myself every day for 365 days” Gunsberg.

  2. Nice to see some positive reax amid the usual negative nellies who bag everything. He is a charming, intelligent and able host – why wouldn’t he be snapped up. He has polish – that is what the American style demands. Good on him. Mmm, Idol may not rise again. X factor has hardly shown a huge demand for the format.

  3. I like Andrew and think he’ll make a good host and maybe he’ll get to be on Letterman with that being on CBS as well.

    I guess this really means that Australian Idol is really over.

  4. I smell failure; talent show on CBS doesn’t ring many success bells to me. Talent shows are best left to Fox and NBC IMO. But I hope it performs for him. Its a nice thing to see him doing well over there.
