Terry Wogan Set to Quit Eurovision
Smooth talking television and radio presenter Terry Wogan has cast even more doubt over whether he will present/narrate at next years Eurovision Song Contest.
The BBC legend, who is 70-years-old, said it was “doubtful” if he’ll ever want to present the world worst pop contest ever again, after Russia’s controversial ?victory’ in Belgrade last year.
After 37 years presenting the show, Sir Terry said he was tired of the “political voting”, and wanted to hand the reigns over to a younger host.
He said: “I’ve had so much fun, but I think it’s time for someone else. Days before the show, I knew Russia would win.” The Radio Two presenter made his comments in a Radio Times interview. He first threatened to quit Eurovision after the controversial result in May.
He said: “This is no longer a music contest.”
As if you didn’t know, Eurovision is just an excuse for you-scratch-my-back-I-won’t-bomb-your-country, type voting that is generally filled with sub-par pop-acts.
I don’t know anyone who watches the show now-a-days anyways, apart from old granny’s.
Terry was the only reason to continue watching the show for many Britons. But I for one understand why he wants to jack it in. His sarcastic comments which used to be biting have become lazy, it seems its difficult to be scathing, when the passion is gone.
