As we get out and about more at media events, we are beginning to meet the great and the good of Abu Dhabi, UAE and the wider Middle East. At a recent event we were introduced to the guest of honour a certain Mr. George Kerdahi. I’ve made a point of not mentioning names on this blog, but this guy was very popular, and clearly worth bending the rules for and naming!

So I greeted him, told him it was a pleasure to meet him etc. etc sat back down and politely asked our host, who this guest of honour was. He went on to describe this very popular TV quiz show, where you have to answer 15 questions in a row by yourself, however you have 3 lifelines, take 50-50, ask the audience or phone a friend, and can win money. I was asked if I’d ever seen it!!! Well it turns out that Mr George Gerdahi is the very popular (mainly with the ladies) host of the Middle East version of who wants to be a millionaire.

Those of you that don’t recognise him, he’s the one in the middle with the suit.

Do you recognise him now?
