...Leeza Gibbons. First female guest host after five males.

This will be your 35th and final week of Millionaire for season 6. No more new Meredith until September.

So who the heck is she?

Geez, Marley, you can sit through 5th Grader but you can't watch Entertainment Tonight? She started in the Boston area, but became a reporter for ET early in its run. I'm not sure if she's still there or is now on one of the other entertainment tabloids. If it weren't for Mary Hart's legs, Gibbons would probably be the better known of the two early ET female reporters.

I wonder if they skewed the questions toward pop culture while she was host. We'll find out.

Even if I had the slightest interest in watching ET, it's on the same time as J! here, so it'd be a non-starter.

Answer to question you'll never be asked on WWTBAM

Lezza Gibbons is from Irmo.

What's an Irmo?

She also had her own syndicated show. How do I know this? I was on it along with Robby Roseman (sp?), the first llama, a fellow who missed a 500k q on Millionaire, and the first person to win a million dollars on Iwon.

I'm not sure what the Boston connection is, but I'm pretty sure she got her start on PM Magazine in Beaumont, TX. She later moved up to the big time on PM Magazine in Dallas. From there, she went to Entertainment Tonight.

Out of curiousity, who were all of the other guest hosts, I know that Dave Price and Billy Bush once guest hosted but who else?

About Leeza Gibbons, I think she was a good guest host. But I really wish they could get Regis to guest host.

I remember Al Roker and Tom Bergeron.

There was also Tim Vincent, from Access Hollywood.

I think I have several days on tape.

I am thinking she will be fine.

Not that fond of Leeza so far. It seems that she emphasizes the wrong aspects of the game and her sense of timing is just off.

I agree.

And as much as I am a fan of Meredith, if she can't do the job fully no more, then I think it is time for a new, permanent host.

Still haven't seen a show yet.

I am sorry she is failing.

I like Leeza just fine, although it's inevitable that I would like Meredith more. I do think Leeza is far smoother and more interesting than most of the temporary guest hosts have been.

My only distraction is her hair. Sometimes I don't like her hair one bit, then I think that I should wear my hair exactly like that. As you can tell, I hone right in on the important things.

You mean like when Meredith wear bright colors and I am in love with what it does to the color of her eyes and miss 3 or 4 questions.

You mean like that?

That's right! I was distracted by the interplay between the colors of her wardrobe and her eyes. I demand a replay. Easier questions would help too.

I don't mind Leeza, but I agree with slam on the wrong aspects and timing.

Then today's show might just put you over the edge! Transcripts are done, but not posted yet. I left out some stuff I almost typed in regarding Leeza being a bit over the top today with her intros. But maybe that's just me.

As far as the important stuff, I'm not crazy about her hair. I like her better in a different style.

Leeza has not bothered me and I think she is a capable fill-in host for a week.

To me the best of the subs was Tim Vincent. Dave Price was my least favorite. Five shows is the max I could take of Al and Billy. If Meredith will have subs next season I don't mind a week here and there to see how different people handle the hosting gig. The Qs and As are there still there and that's the main thing.

If there comes a time that the show continues and Meredith is done then a veteran host like Tom Bergeron should be able to keep the show going.

Tim was by far the best-looking of all the guest hosts. I never said that before, because I wouldn't want any of you to think I was shallow.

Like, totally.

I think she looks like she's had a lot of "work done", as they say. Botox, & permanently wide-opened (like a squirrel, though of course not an evil one) eyes. And her brows are painted or whatevered on higher than they have to have been provided by nature, which adds to the "too-awake" look. To each their own. As they say.
