Nine Welcomes Back Daryl Somers For Hypnotic New Show
The classic Aussie television host, Daryl Somers, is back for a brand new season.
In 2016, Somers will return to Channel Nine to host the new entertainment show, You’re Back In The Room.
It’s a case of mind over matter for the show, where contestants battle it out for big money, but the catch – they’re all under the power of hypnotism.
Standing between contestants and their cash prizes will be allegedly amazing hypnotist Keith Barry, whose job is to thwart the contestant’s every effort to succeed.
Nine’s director of television, Michael Healy says it’s about time Somers returned.
“This is exciting news for the network and our audience.,” he said. “Daryl is back at Nine hosting one of the most entertaining new shows I have seen in a long time.”
Daryl Somers adds, “This is like coming home to my old alma mater, albeit into a new era for the Network, with a new show.
“I’m excited by You’re Back In The Room as it’s full of laughs and allows for adlib moments, which was the big attraction for me.
“Keith has enjoyed worldwide success as a hypnotist and mentalist. I’m looking forward to cooking up some fun with him and I hope Australia will be transfixed by the show.”
