14 DAY TRIAL // As announced back in January, Meredith Vieira is leaving “Millionaire” in May after no less than 11 seasons on board. A replacement has already been found and announced to fans at home.
He is Cedric the Entertainer, USA Today confirms.
He will be taking over from Meredith right after she leaves and, according to his own statement, he couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of hosting.
“I'm truly looking forward to hosting Millionaire,” he says.
He’s also promising a fun, wild ride, which, considering his resume so far, is actually to be expected.
“The show is a modern day game show giant, and the team at Disney-ABC has been great at putting the right elements together over 11 seasons. I'm excited to entertain all those who watch and play as season 12 launches... It's going to be a good time every day!” Cedric explains.
