Tributes flow for Man O Man host Rob Guest. Thursday saw some really sad news: one of my favourite entertainers had died of a massive stroke. I found out about it in the Right Angle office, where I was working that day.
Me: Oh! Rob Guest died!
Lala: Who?
Me: He was best known for hosting Man O Man in the early '90s.
Lala: (sudden recognition) Oh, yeah.
"Guest also ventured into TV, hosting the short-lived 1994 TV game show Man O Man, a type of men's beauty pageant." (Sky News)
"Guest rose to fame on Channel Seven's dating show Man-O-Man in 1994 in the studio now used for Dancing With The Stars." (Sunrise)
"Guest also hosted Channel 7's risque variety show Man O Man, where an all-women audience voted for their favourite male contestants in 1994." (Live News)
"His television achievements include hosting Man O Man, for Grundy Television, and the Special Missing Pieces. He was also a regular guest on Good Morning Australia with Bert Newton." (Newstalk ZB, Auckland)
The many roles of Rob Guest: a timeline in photos. (Sydney Morning Herald)
