The guy hosting two up today is absolutely buzzing with enthusiasm and probably would have made for a great host of Big Brother in 2005, with the amount of chaotic charisma and over the top energy he’s bringing to the day.
If Gretel Killeen had called in sick back in the day, this bloke would’ve stepped in without missing a beat.
Carl Fitzgibbins (28), a full-time bartender and occasional pub trivia host, has pulled no stops for his role as the self-appointed MC of this year’s Two Up at his local.
Armed with a microphone, a wireless speaker, and what appears to be a lifetime supply of mid strength beers, Carl has managed to turn what is usually a loosely organised event into an absolute frenzy.
Effortlessly, Carl is able to whip up a crowd, ranging in age from 18 to 92, into an absolute frenzy — and he’s bloody loving every second of it.
By midday, a group of teens had created their own posters like the ones you used to see in the background of Big Brother live evictions, praising Carl and Two Up like they were national treasures.
Some witnesses report seeing Carl running full laps around the human circle surrounding the game, slapping high fives, throwing out rogue lollies, and yelling “heads? tails? legends!” with the kind of showmanship you usually only get from reality TV contestants in the 2000s
