Chris Tarrant - Game Shows

Game Shows

Tarrant began to host the popular television quiz show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 1998, a job he still has today. The show has gone on to have series in over 100 other countries, and in 2002, the UK version merged with the Irish version. Tarrant has coined catchphrases such as "But we don't want to give you that!" and "Is that your final answer?" through the show. It was confirmed by UKGameshows.com that Tarrant has been the regular host for at least one full series of more game shows than anyone else on British television, with sixteen different series to his credit. In 2008 he presented the game show It's Not What You Know on Challenge. In January 2009, Tarrant began to host new ITV1 show The Colour of Money, which was cancelled after just seven episodes after failing to perform well in the ratings.
