Dicko sacks himself from Can of Worms

Ian Dicko Dickson has sacked himself from the role of host on Can of Worms.

The presenter, creator and co-executive producer with Andrew Denton for Zapruder’s Other Films said in a statement: “I do of course thank myself for the efforts I have made in series one and indeed I wish me all the best in my future endeavours. I also feel certain that in this small but intriguing industry we work in, our paths will surely cross again. Farewell and adieu Silver Fox, It’s been swell, but alas, it has gone down.”

Network Ten has green lit a season two of the show that “got Australia talking” on the topics of euthanasia, swearing immigration and sex.

However, Dickson said, in an effort to push the show further, he would step down from the hosting position to get the show ‘a better host’.
