Crikey claims Packer/Vizard connection

Crikeys asks: "Why does the disgraced Steve Vizard keep popping up on the Nine Network?

In May, Vizard reared his head at the Logies in the guise of Darryl, the campy steward from Fast Forward.

More recently he appeared as a commentator on the Channel Nine's 50 Years, 50 Stars (the network stopped short of including him in the top 50).

As a Crikey tip asked yesterday: "Is Eddie McGuire trying to help Steve Vizard restore his tarnished reputation?" One thing's certain, Kerry Packer would have never allowed it.
