god don't let it be wil, don't let it be wil. his ego is bad enough. Rove hangs up ARIA host hat By Christine Sams August 29, 2005 The Sun-Herald  Resting: Rove McManus. Photo: Network Ten Rove McManus will not host the ARIA awards this year, after deciding to take a break from presenting the annual music ceremony. McManus, whose production company Roving Enterprises has the rights to this year's ceremony, has decided to step back from the role after two years of hosting the awards. Insiders have revealed that the organisers of the awards are searching for a replacement host for this year's event, which will be held in Sydney at the SuperDome in late October. The contenders are believed to include music presenter Jabba and Australian Idol frontman James Mathison. But insiders are suggesting it is likely another experienced comedian such as Adam Hills or Wil Anderson will take over hosting duties. As Triple J's former morning presenter, Anderson has strong music connections and is fantastically talented as a comedian with a live audience. Hills, who hosts the ABC's music trivia show Spicks And Specks, is also a strong contender. McManus's long-time producer Craig Campbell was unavailable to chat about the decision last week (because of a case of the flu). However, sources close to the McManus camp say the Gold Logie winner is keen to take a break so that the ceremony can remain fresh and edgy. The television host and comedian has come under fire from some critics for being a bland ARIAs host - given a few of his jokes have fallen flat during the awards. But his video skits last year were genuinely funny, including a take-off of video clips by Missy Higgins and Shannon Noll. McManus has not ruled out returning to the hosting role at next year's ARIAs, but he will take a break for at least one year. It is likely he will still be involved in the behind-the-scenes production of the event, given his role as head of Roving Enterprises. Insiders say the new host will be announced at the ARIA nominations event in Sydney on September 15. | ||
