Now that GSN's The Chase is cancelled I have often wondered what Mark Labbett is doing now? I do know he moved to Australia to become a superstar there when The Chase launched it's Australian version but I also heard that Mark Labbett also got married and is starring in many other shows in England and was in the British cast of Disney's Aladdin on Broadway. I would love to see Mark Labbett return to host another game show for GSN soon in America because he was so cool on The Chase and I think another game show for Mark Labbett would be so awesome

From what I gather Mark Labbett is still doing the Australian version of The Chase. So it must be doing well in the ratings I assume.

So Mark Labbett is doing great in Australia on The Chase there? Sounds awesome Edward. Because I was just curious to see what Mark Labbett was doing now that GSN's American version of The Chase is off the air. It's such a surprise that once GSN finished making new episodes of The Chase Mark Labbett went on to do other things because I feel that he could still be one of GSN's top stars in America with the chance to do another game show for GSN or any other network. But he is still a favorite star of mine
Thank you very much for your reply Edward

He is losing some weight and has pretty much sworn off sugar

Great to hear the info about Mark Labbett from you Loaferman. I have been a fan of Mark Labbett since The Chase debuted in America and he's so awesome and I like him so much that my bedroom wall has many pictures of him and when The Chase got cancelled I got really sad that I would never watch him on The Chase again in America. But he's still a role model of mine and i'm happy that he's still having an awesome and fun career
Thank you for writing Loaferman

Did you really have to PM me about The Chase getting cancelled 5 months ago? I'm not a fan of The Chase. I like older game from the 70's, 80's, and 90's better.

I was wondering if he would turn up on the 500 Questions show. He is bright and fast.

Now that would be one episode of 500 Questions I would LOVE to see if it ever existed because Mark Labbett would be so cool playing 500 Questions. What I wish Mark Labbett would do is maybe write a series of The Chase books full of trivia for fans of The Chase and that would make me very happy indeed

It's amazing that The Chase made Mark Labbett a big star in the UK and who would've guessed that he actually made his debut as a contestant on the UK version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire because it really shows his talent. And I especially love his British accent because it's so calm and wonderful and really smart sounding. I think due to his popularity on GSN it will be the start of a great celebrity status for Mark Labbett and I think he will star in more game shows and perhaps be a sitcom star or make appearences in future GSN shows. I like Mark Labbett and hope he returns to the game show world soon

I wish GSN could get Mark Labbett to host a game show for them in the future because he has talent as a game show host and with Mark Labbett becoming a Comeback Kid in America a GSN show hosted by him would be a hit. Did you know that Mark Labbett was one guy who auditioned to host the Chain Reaction revival but due to his busy schedule dropped out of the audition and Michael Catherwood was chosen as the host as Chain Reaction

Hi, Bestie! I agree that Mark should get another game show. But what should the show be? A knock off of The Chase or WWTBAM would be good, but also think of a show like "The easiest game show ever". Whatever it is, I hope GSN hurries up and hires him again.
