Australian viewers react to Magda Szubanski as host of the Weakest Link
TV by Matt Young 26th May 2021 5:16 AM I must admit, when I saw an advertisement promoting Magda Szubanski as the host of the new reboot of the Weakest Link, I was a little perplexed. Funny lady and all time Aussie comedy queen Magda Szubanski as the quizmaster on the Weakest Link? Is this the greatest joke of all? For those unfamiliar with the format, which originated in the UK in 2000, the host is usually the star of the show who uses the contestants as fodder between stages. The last host of the Australian show, the late, great Cornelia Frances, was a firecracker and truly proved a great mirror to the UK s bluntest host, Anne Robinson.
