Mike Goldman Lands Dream Role

The most dedicated member of the BB team since Day 1 in 2001, Mike Goldman, will tonight, at last, step up as co-host of the Live Eviction show. It's the role he was born to play.

His CV with BB includes:

• Voice-overs on Daily Shows and pre-recorded specials (BB01-present)
• Live Crowd Warm-Up: Launch, Evictions, Noms, Finale, Specials (BB01-BB07)
• Host of UpLate, live, 5 nights a week (BB03-BB07)
• Host of Friday Night Live (BB05-present)

Now, as we all expected, Kyle is sick! Not a migrane though, it is bronchitis. So tonight Mike and Jackie will host the Eviction and Intruder combo show. What a great night for him to get in on the action. And if the ratings are good, and fan response is positive, it might even pave the way to a full-time hosting role next year.

On the topic, Mike blogs:

I started out 8 years ago on Big Brother as the voice-over guy and crowd warm up dreaming one day of hosting its flagship Sunday show. Kind of weird doing it just because King Kyle is sick, but either way its going to be a blast. Kyle has been great for the show, they’re big shoes to fill and I hope he gets better. You never know, he might even show up just in time for tonights show and I could be in the audience knocking back a few beers.

Mike has already hosted with Jackie O before, stepping in for Kyle on their Sydney radio show several times when Kyle was unavailable or unwell.

Good on ya Mike. Break a leg!
