Dicko departs Can of Worms
Ian ‘Dicko’ Dickson won’t stay as host of Ten’s Can of Worms for the next series in a move he is characterising as firing himself.
While the network has given the green light for a season two in 2012, Dickson, who created the show, said in a statement: “I’m giving myself no alternative but to sack me as host of the show.”
However, Dickson will remain co-executive producer on the show alongside Andrew Denton for production company Zapruder’s Other Films.
Can of Worms was Dickson’s plan to “get Australia talking” and encourage “heated family debates about racism, euthanasia, swearing and boobs!”
Brave move.
Didn’t think he was as bad as what I imagined he would be!
good move
the concept was great, but dicko wasn’t the right host
Put Meshel Laurie in the host chair
Good move. A good idea, but blimey some of the issues went round in circles and dragged on a bit too much! A better host would make a decent programme into a good one.
Yam can’t boit listnin to a Brummoi accent thaw!
