Sunday nights on Italian television are becoming a showcase for Gerry Scotti, and a clear sign of confidence from Mediaset’s Pier Silvio Berlusconi.
Following his popular game show, La Ruota della Fortuna, Scotti hands the reins over to fellow Mediaset mainstay for Chi vuol essere milionario (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire), effectively anchoring a lengthy primetime block. He often playfully introduces the show’s host, Samira Lui, before the program begins.
Samira Lui on Chi vuol essere milionario
After promoting Chi vuol essere milionario, Scotti took a moment to chat with Lui. The extended preview is a strategic move to draw in viewers.
He jokingly pointed out that Lui hadn’t yet visited him in the other studio, leading to an official, pre-arranged invitation that underscores the network’s investment in the rising star, who has quickly become a favorite with multiple generations.
“We’ll put you in the audience. You can be a new helper. If you want to, gladly,” Scotti offered. He didn’t stop there, playfully suggesting, “If I were to do a VIP version, which are usually the most clueless, I could invite a few friends.”

Samira Lui’s Look
Accompanied by the Fortuna Five dancers, Samira descended the stairs and joined Gerry Scotti at the center of the studio. She danced, lightly sang along, and then posed for the cameras. Scotti quipped, “And how could I not see her? She’s beautiful in her simplicity.” He then noticed the large black bow she wore, remarking, “The last time I had one of those, I was in fifth grade.”
Lui once again turned heads with a sleek black mini dress, expertly tailored to flatter her figure without being overly revealing. The dress featured a striking central bow on the décolletage, softening the overall look and adding a contemporary touch.
Thin straps highlighted her collarbone and shoulders, while a sweetheart neckline added a feminine touch. She completed the ensemble with black stiletto heels, elongating her legs and creating a polished look perfect for a popular television show.
Her hair was styled in voluminous, luminous curls – a return to a classic look after sporting a sleek, straight style on La Ruota dei Campioni.
