Andreas Mikroutsikos

Andreas Mikroutsikos is a composer, lyricist, singer and TV presenter. He is the brother of Thanos Mikroutsikos and is considered to be Greece's "reality king". His top hits were "the kiklopaki (My Little Cyclops)" or "oso girizei i gi (As Long As The Earth Turns Around)". During the 1990s Mikroutsikos presented the famous TV game show "to megalo pazari (The Great Bazaar - Greek version of Let's Make a Deal)". Moreover by moving from Mega Channel to ANT1 he was the first to introduce reality shows to the Greek public. His shows have been criticised by many, despite good TV ratings. Andreas presented the first and second series of the famous reality show "Big Brother" on the ANT1 channel. He also presented ANT1's music academy "Fame Story". Afterwards he moved to Alpha TV where he presented the reality show "apo kardias (By My Heart)". The show was prohibited by the Greek authorities after a specific episode where a woman accused her husband of forcing her to agree to bestiality. More specifically the woman claimed that her husband forced her into sexual acts with their dog. Mikroutsikos defended himself by saying that all the things presented through his popular show were pieces of the puzzle of our life and by closing our eyes we just ignore the problem. Mikroutsikos was nicknamed "realitaras (reality trump)" and "merchant of human dignity".
