“Are you sure George that you stop?” This was Nikos Hatzinikolaou’s first question to George Papadakis who hosted him in Annitus, on the occasion of his announcement that he stops from Good Morning Greece.

“Yes,” he replied. “It’s been many years and I think I don’t have the vitality, passion and excitement I had in the past.”

“I stop, the show doesn’t stop,” he made sure to clarify, thus opening the succession race.

I think it’s time for the different, “he said.
