Rebecca Gibney To Host Millionaire Hot Seat.
Australian television icon and Logie Hall of Fame inductee Rebecca Gibney is stepping into the spotlight as the host of Millionaire Hot Seat, when it comes to 10 in 2026.
Bringing her signature warmth, quick wit and charisma, Rebecca will lead contestants and viewers alike through an exhilarating new era of Australia’s favourite game show.
Rebecca Gibney said: “I have been a longtime fan of Millionaire Hot Seat and it’s such a thrill to now be stepping into the role of host. To be at the helm of a show that brings about life-changing moments and to be able to guide contestants on their journey to a potential million-dollar win is such a privilege.
“I know it will be a roller coaster of excitement, tension and nerves galore for me as well as the contestants, but I have no doubt it will also be a whole lot of fun for everyone watching at home. I can’t wait to get started!”
Tamara Simoneau, Vice President, Content, Paramount Australia said: “Rebecca Gibney has done it all on the stage and screen as one of Australia’s most beloved stars. But she’s never been at the helm of a game show, and we’re so excited she’s breaking new ground with us to host the refreshed version of the international smash hit, Millionaire Hot Seat.
“Her warmth and enthusiasm will endear her to Australians all over again as our contestants chase trivia glory and a whole lot of cash!”
Millionaire Hot Seat will see six everyday Aussies hoping to take their place in the hot seat each episode, facing a series of 15 challenging questions for the chance to walk away with up to $1,000,000 – all under Rebecca’s expert guidance.
Casting is now underway for Australians ready to test their general knowledge and nerves of steel. From $1,000 to $1,000,000, the opportunity is there for the taking. See here for more information.
