Sheen is already in character as a quiz host and will not break until the series wraps in 2027

Michael Sheen lacks Richard Osman's stature as new House of Games host

The BBC has confirmed Michael Sheen as the new host of House of Games, replacing Richard Osman, who stepped down after nine years and eight series. Osman, a 6'7" television producer turned novelist, had fronted the show since 2017 and built its format around his own deadpan authority. Sheen, a Welsh actor known for playing Tony Blair, David Frost and Chris Tarrant, inherits a quiz that leans heavily on host personality. The first Sheen-fronted series is expected to air later this year.
