Wellington, Oct 24 (ANI): ‘Best Job in the World’ winner Ben Southall is set to appear on the Oprah Winfrey talk show.
Winfrey interviewed Southall via satellite from Hamilton Island, where he has been appointed the honorary “caretaker”.
While the five-minute slot will be telecasted in US today, the screening date in Australia is yet to be fixed.
Southall will be seen talking about the merits of the region in a bid to lure international visitors.
The guest spot has Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and Tourism Queensland bosses rubbing their hands in anticipation.
“Oprah has been the number one US talk show for 23 seasons and Ben’s appearance will deliver an unprecedented level of publicity for Queensland,” stuff.co.nz quoted Bligh as saying.
Southall was chosen from nearly 30,000 applicants as a publicity campaign of Tourism Queensland. (ANI)
