Ted Lasso's Boss Co-Hosting Eurovision

[Mark Jeffries]

Hannah Waddingham, the West End musical star who is now known internationally thanks to "Ted Lasso," will be hosting the annual song contest live from Liverpool on May 9, 11 and 13, joined by Brit singer Alesha Dixon and Ukrainian singer Julia Sanina (the Ukraine won last year and would be the host country, but you know what's going on) and on the May 13 finals by Graham Norton, leaving the BBC1 booth where he continued in the snarky tradition of SIr Terry Wogan--will he get away with it when talking to the whole of Europe, Australia and the US (on Peacock)?:

With Norton leaving the booth and longtime BBC Radio 2 host Ken "Popmaster" Bruce leaving that network, looks like the Beeb is going to have to find new booth hosts for Eurovision (hopefully, Johnny Weir will be the Peacock host again, from Liverpool and not from Universal City).
