Why he might be annoying:

    He makes himself the host of almost every television event on channel Nine.
    Many viewers dislike him for his overexposure on television.
    He even makes appearances on rival television networks.
    There were allegations that he treats staff at channel nine unfairly.
    He had 100 employers terminated from their jobs with channel nine (2006).
    An anti-Eddie McGuire Facebook page has more friends than his own real page.
    He offended many by inappropriately making a gay joke about Johnny Weir in his commentary on the men’s figure skating at the Winter Olympics (2010).
    He did not live up to his promise of offering a contestant (a journalism student) a job for getting the $50,000 dollar question correct, claiming that the money he won took out the budget for the job.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was awarded with an Order of Australia for his service to the community and broadcasting (2005).
    Most of the shows he presented were rating hits.
    He continues to appear regularly on TV while still president of Collingwood, and chief executive of Channel Nine.
    He continued his morning radio show from Vancouver when he was a presenter at the Winter Olympics for Australia (2010).
    He is one of the hardest working people in Australian television.
