Who is being boned now?

Quizmaster, turned Nine executive, Eddie McGuire, was forced to answer his own million-dollar question yesterday - does he still want to be the CEO?

With TV gossips certain he will be named host of the network's new game show 1 vs 100 at its VIP launch in Melbourne tomorrow night, the man in the hot seat denied the claims, saying "there's absolutely no change to my role".

Clues to the contrary point to McGuire's return to an on-air role, while a new position of director of television was shopped around to industry executives last year.
