| - Host of "The Legend of Zelda: The Weakest Link" minigame, Anne Robinson is the embodiment of pure, unmitigated arrogance. Spewing an amalgamated cross between Social Darwinism and Ayn Rand's Objectivist philosophy, she tried to eliminate Captain SNES due to his being, at the time, the only remaining major threat to her worldview. But in the end she turned out to be...the weakest link.

Anne Robinson has also presented the game show in the United States.{|summary="Contents" class="toc" id="toc" | |} [http:// ] Born in Crosby, Lancashire, Anne Robinson is of Irish descent. Her father was a school teacher, while her mother Anne Josephine Robinson (nee Wilson), was a successful agricultural businesswoman from Ireland, where she was the manager of a market stall. When she came to England she married into her husband's family of wholesale chicken dealers, and sold rationed rabbit after World War II. Raised initially at the family home in Crosby Beach, Anne attended a private Roman Catholic Convent Boarding School in Hampshire, Farnborough Hill School but was expelled when she was caught, in the middle of the night, sewing stitches into a very old, unfinished tapestry, in which it was said that, on one night a year, the ghost of the Empress Eugenie who had started, but never finished the tapestry, sewed a few stitches into it. Robinson was hired as a chicken gutter and sales person during the holidays in the family business, before taking office jobs at a clerical post at a law firm. The family spent their summers on holiday in France, often at the Carlton Hotel, Cannes. [http:// ] On leaving school, Robinson chose journalism over training for the theatre. After working in a news agency, she arrived in London in 1967 as the first young female trainee on the Daily Mail. Robinson's mother's going away present to her daughter was an MG sportscar and a fur coat. Robinson secured a permanent position as a result of scooping the details of the story of Brian Epstein's death from being a family friend of the Liverpool solicitor handling the legalities, offering him a ride to Euston station when he couldn't find an available taxi. Her work became uncomfortable for her when she met and fell in love with the deputy news editor, Charlie Wilson, and the two got married in 1968 - he subsequently had to fire her as a result of the marriage. Robinson joined The Sunday Times, and in 1970 the couple had a daughter, Emma Wilson, who is now a British radio disc jockey and has also hosted Scaredy Camp, a game show in the U.S. on the Nickelodeon network. In 1973, the marriage disintegrated after Robinson, like her mother, became an alcoholic. That same year, both Robinson and Wilson initiated divorce proceedings. In December 1978, she resigned from The Sunday Times and returned home to Crosby Beach to recover from her alcoholism. She then began working for the Liverpool Echo.
- Robinson is most famous for hosting the BBC game show The Weakest Link. She also hosted the United States primetime version of the show. Robinson is of Irish Catholic descent, and attended a Roman Catholic Girls School in Merseyside. Her mother, also named Anne Josephine Robinson, was a successful agricultural businesswoman from Ireland. Robinson's icy persona and monotone voice became infamous on The Weakest Link. Her repeated icy utterance, "You are the weakest link—g'bye!" became a catchphrase soon after the show started in 2000. An American version of the series was soon commissioned and Robinson ended up hosting both the UK and US versions of the series, although in the latter nation her hosting persona did not appeal to audiences and the series was removed from national network TV and moved into syndication, with a different host. She began her career as a journalist, and at one time worked for the late, controversial magnate, Robert Maxwell (whom she greatly admired) on the staff of the Daily Mirror. She began appearing on BBC television during the 1980s, on programmes such as Points of View and Watchdog. She also presented a weekly show on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday mornings, which ran from 1988 to 1993. She returned to the station briefly in 1996, sitting in for Jimmy Young on the Lunchtime slot for 2 weeks. She caused a furore when she appeared on the comedy show Room 101 on 5 March 2001, and made derisive comments about Welsh people. The persona she adopts for the purposes of The Weakest Link is her own invention. Currently, she also hosts the BBC's outtakes programme Outtake TV and the BBC's interactive quiz Test the Nation. In 2001, Robinson published her autobiography, Memoirs of an Unfit Mother, in which she describes her former drinking problem. On 23 April 2006, The Sunday Times Rich List named Anne Robinson as one of the UK richest media personalities, worth £60 million (USD 112 million).
