JEDDAH: The Arabic presenter of the popular television quiz show Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (Man sa yarbah al malyoon), George Kurdahi, was sacked by Middle East Broadcasting Center (MBC) on Thursday.
"The MBC Group has taken this decision, at the highest level, and are also pulling the new show Enta Tistahil (You Deserve It) hosted by Kurdahi and scheduled to be aired on MBC1 between Eid Al-Fitr and Eid Al-Adha," MBC said in a statement published on its website.
The TV channel said its decision was made after a large number of Syrian citizens, journalists, and writers launched a campaign against Kurdahi for his views against the Syrian movement.
They all considered Kurdahi's views as biased toward the Syrian government.
