Barber back on Nine
Feb 26
Tony Barber is perhaps one of the most iconic quiz show hosts in Australian TV history, after hosting Channel 9′s Sale of the Century for 16 years. Now, after leaving the show in 1991, Barber is set to return for one night only on Sale’s 21st century reincarnation, Temptation.
Speaking to the Sunday Herald Sun, Barber said, “Doing quiz shows is like getting on the bike or horse, you just don’t lose it.”
“Quiz shows are my bag, so of course if I were asked to take part in something I’d be checking out the format carefully.”
Joining him on the show will be Alyce Platt, one of his former co-hosts on Sale, and who currently works with him on occasional quiz series on pay TV’s TV1 channel. Barber and Platt will take over the show when co-hosts Livinia Nixon and Ed Phillips become contestants for the evening.
