Nikolay "Niki" Kanchev (born December 26, 1960) is a
Bulgarian television host, famous for hosting the
Bulgarian version of
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (re-titled to
Стани богат (
Become Rich), since the award from the start was 100,000 leva, instead of a million). After he became popular with the show, he was selected as a co-host of
Big Brother Bulgaria on the same
television channel,
Nova Television. Later on, he also hosted the game show
1 vs. 100 (known in Bulgaria as
One versus All (
Един срещу всички)), which made him one of the most frequently appearing hosts on the channel. In late 2008, it was not known whether he would return to host a show on Nova TV, after the producer Nikola Tuparev, a friend of Kanchev, had left SIA Advertising, the company that produced Niki Kanchev's pre-2008 shows together with Nova TV. However, in January 2009
Стани богат returned to Nova TV, but as expected it was produced by Nikola Tuparev's new production company Oldschool Productions.
