The Duke, AXN’s brand new weekly men’s magazine show, is the ultimate series of sophisticated maledom. This glossy AXN original production premieres tonight at 8 o’clock.
The Duke entitles televiewers to a taste of the heady day-to-day lives of very different men from all across Asia, all of whom have one thing in common: They can be labelled as “Dukes,” men who have made it with their desire, drive and dreams.
In weekly episodes, meet totally inspiring individuals, a baker’s dozen of different men, whom irrespective of different ages and industries, have attained success, power, fulfilled their unique dreams, and have proven to be every inch the Dukes of Asia.
Some of these dukes include Allan Zeman, the founder of Hong Kong’s party district Lan Kwai Fong; Dylan Wilk, the former ninth richest man in England and now a philanthropist who is dedicating his time and riches to aid the impoverished communities in the Philippines; and high school dropout made internationally-renowned street magician Cyril Takayama whose claim to fame is an incredible hamburger trick.
The guides for this tour-de-force are celebrity hosts Marc Nelson (rightmost) and Rovilson Fernandez, formerly the pin-up boys of The Amazing Race Asia’s second season, and Eunice Olsen, Singapore’s Miss Universe bet and the youngest Nominated Member of Parliament who has hosted shows covering the arts and women’s issues.
