CHANNEL 9Â’s Eddie McGuire has reneged on a job offer to a Grasmere teen who won $50,000 on game show Millionaire Hot Seat last Tuesday.
McGuire had promised Taylor Auerbach, 18, a journalism student at the University of Technology Sydney and budding sports reporter, a job at Channel 9 if he answered a crucial question correctly.

“Clearly he’s smart enough that he doesn’t need my help any more.”
