New Zealand Reality TV show host Dominic Bowden has been to the US a number of times scoping out the scene there with people like Ryan Seacrest and E! and he's said to have landed a job hosting a big new reality TV show!
Possible jobs include hosting The Next Great American Band - from the makers of American Idol. The show airs in the US in October. A host has not yet been officially announced.
A source close to Dom said:
"it will be as big as American Idol...life-changing for Dominic. It will turn him into a superstar.It will thrust him into the homes of millions of Americans, then billions around the world."
Good luck Dom!

Good on him!
That is a big achievement!!
It wouldn't be the same without Dom would it!
Guess that means we can't have another Idol here after all.
Be good to watch a band show instead of just solo singers. Looking forward to it.
Wonder if they'll still be a Rockstar! Anyone know?

"According to Australian newspaper "The Daily Telegraph" American Idol judge Randy Jackson may be a judge along with Australian Idol judge Ian "Dicko" Dickson."

Congrats Dom! You deserve this. Hollywood here you come

It's interesting how the Sunday News story is positive, but the Herald story is all negative about how he may owe $20,000 for pulling out of another TV show obligation at the last minute. The big headline here is that he's most likely getting the biggest break of his career!
WooT
YAY DOM!!! Glad that PUS wasnt the end of the road for ya hahahaha. Can't wait to see your new show Smarter than a 10 Year Old then hearing about you next on E!

Well done Dom! You're such a great host, you'll do NZ proud
Are you working on your American accent?

I'm so excited for Dom, he deserves all the success in the world and NZ only has so many opportunities for him. He's been working on this for so long, I'm glad the hard work has paid off.
Congrats Dom!

That would be awesome news if that's the case! They're about to announce the host and judges soon. More info on the show here.

My guess is that he will be the host of the new show "The Next Great American Band" starting on Fox in October. Made by the people behind American Idol, this would be Dom's big break. Potentially huge news.
