Anne Robinson has revealed she turned down the BBC twice after being asked to return to host The Weakest Link.- She no longer wanted to say 'you are the weakest link goodbye' 👓
But the 77-year-old rejected the two job offers, despite hosting The Weakest Link from 2000 to 2012.
Admitting that the new version is too different from the original show, Anne said: ‘Wokeness has taken the heart out of comedy. Times have really changed.‘Where’s the fun if you can’t ask, “What do you do when you’re not eating?” or “Have you had that hair cut for a bet?”‘that asking those questions at the time she was hosting would not have been a problem, ‘but you couldn’t say it today.’
The former journalist also shared that if she returned to The Weakest Link, the ‘character’ she had created would have to change.The former journalist took over from Nick Hewer as Countdown host last year When comedian Romesh took over the 2021 reboot with a series of celebrity shows, he had said: ‘Anne was amazing at it, and she was a big reason why that show was so popular.
‘But I don’t think any good can come from trying to emulate that. And it’s just me doing it my own way.’
