Dean Bouzoukis wants to be the new host of Millionaire Hotseat!

Speaker 1 (Eddie McGuire) 00:00

Let's meet a contestant tonight, and they are... In September 1, Dean Bouzoukis was surprised at his 21st when his favourite Super Mario brother arrived. John, Dino, are you ready to guess it? 

Speaker 2 

Yes. 

Speaker 1 00:10

Come on, buddy, let's play, come on....

Speaker 2 00:21

When Eddie introduced the contestants, he pointed to me and said, that man, Dean Bouzoukis, and I was like, hands up. And then Eddie just says to me, Dean, are you ready to play Hot Seat? And I said, yes, I am. And then Eddie just says, let's play Hot Seat, guys... When we did the audition, I had to hold my name with a billboard thing and she took a picture of me. And then in about two years, we waited for about two years.

My mum got a message from the producers and then I was in the audience in the first and first episode and then I was rehearsing at the second episode. Like I walked inside that little building, we did rehearsal. And then I came, appeared in the third episode and I was seated on the first position of a Hot Contestant seat. And then when Eddie did the introduction, they played, we played Fastest Finger first and I just got the pen out.

And then we did 15 questions on Fastest Finger. I got like five out of 15. And then and then after the Fastest Finger first... we lined up like the seats was like in a position. And then and then every time Eddie says to me, in the meantime, Dean, are you ready to play Hot Seat? And I said, yes, I am. And then I stand up and then I sat on the red hot seat. And then Eddie just asked me a few questions. And then I did a lot of impressions like Simpsons or Homer Simpson and Spongebob.

Speaker 1 01:45

They're lying in there.

Speaker 2 01:46

My favorite Simpsons character is Homer Simpson, and he goes, like, mmm, donuts. Good idea, mate. And that's what happens. The colour changes to blue to the start of the first question.

Speaker 1 01:58

All right, Deano, are you ready to play? 

Speaker 2

Yes, I'm ready. 

Speaker 1

Let's play outside guard. Come on, Deano. Let's go, buddy.

Speaker 2 02:07

I may have not won all the money but I had a really great time for you guys. I just want to say thank you to everyone for for being pushing me into the hot seat, and I'll be watching you Eddie. I want to be the new host of Millionaire Hot Seat next year. That's why I want to do it. So break a leg, get me a new host and hopefully you'll pick me as a new host. Thank you very much. (Laughs)
