Michael V. returns to game show hosting as he temporarily steps in as host of GMA Network’s “Family Feud,” replacing Dingdong Dantes for a period.
Both reports state that Dantes is taking a break from his hosting duties, and that Michael V. will serve as the special guest host while Dantes is away. Inquirer.net says Dantes announces the change during an episode broadcast on Wednesday, Sept. 16. Dantes explains that, alongside viewers’ support for his GMA series “The Master Cutter,” he needs to focus on upcoming tapings for his other program, prompting him to rest from “Family Feud.”
PhilSTAR.com similarly frames the move as a temporary takeover by Michael V., indicating this is a return to hosting and that the show’s run continues without interruption during Dantes’ hiatus. Across outlets, the differing emphasis is mainly on Michael V.’s return versus Dantes’ stated reason and timing for the break.
