There’s only one more week to go before the country’s oldest TV game show makes a comeback, this time with a new host and fresh look.
Noot vir Noot has been given a revamp, and Emo Adams is ready to give contestants their “vyftig randjies” for guessing the tune.
At the end of season 43 of the popular music quiz show, long-time host Johan Stemmet stepped down, but remains as an executive producer of the show.

Ahead of the debut of singer, musician and stage performer Emo taking over the reins on Thursday, 15 August, the team at SABC2 gave media a sneak peek of the show this week.
Rightfully so, all the attention has been on Emo, who admits he has big shoes to fill.
He says after Johan called him up to ask if he’d be interested in hosting the show, he was overwhelmed and said it took some time to get his head around the task at hand.
“At first you have your reservations... as would anyone because Noot vir Noot is an institution in everyone’s homes,” says Emo.
While Emo is at ease as quiz master, it’s refreshing to see the small format tweaks on Noot vir Noot.
The band has been replaced and DJ Shelley (Rochelle De Bruyn) has stepped into the role of providing the musical clues for the show.
It’s a great addition to the show, gives it a modern sound and makes the new games and format a lot more fun.
It’s also good to see that Emo is going to put his own touch on the show.

One of my favourite moments was when Emo turns to his co-host and says: “DJ Shelley, kap it” when he wants her to turn on the music.
