And the MSTV award goes to... Review on Five Best Television Hosts or Personalities

Pah...

Tuesday morning blahs. A bird has built its nest in my air conditioner and I cant turn it on, a bunch of monkeys are aping around on the tree outside my office room and some bees have been staring at me for the last 10 minutes...

Tuesdays reek...

I'm going to pick only Indians on this one... and I'm picking just Four... with a special mention for the fifth...

Four Best Television Hosts/Personalities

----------------------------------------------------------------------

In no particular order....

Harsha Bhogle: The man with that infectious smile. He started off as a radio commentator and made it all the way to the top in sports journalism. As a cricket commentator he's sharp and lends that much needed touch of professionalism and vibrance. He's the balancing factor between a Navjot Singh Sidhu and a Geoff Boycott.

Harsha Bhogle has hosted cricket talk shows as well Stumped, the school level sports quiz show. Yup, he deserves to be one of the five best.

Barkha Dutt: This woman is nothing short of INCREDIBLE. She is the one journalist that everyone aspires to be like. She attained fame during the Kargil war for her fearless reporting. She has interviewed a slew of personalities covering a wide range such as politics, entertainment etc.

The woman has an aura. She knows her job better than anyone else. And she commands RESPECT - from EVERYONE!

Siddarth Basu: The Numero Uno Quizmaster! He's been asking those questions for many a year and he's been asking them in style. He has done quiz and game shows for channels ranging from Doordarshan to BBC. No questions locked but you better be sharp during the buzzer round...

drum roll...

Amitabh Bachchan: I was contemplating on excluding his name from this list mainly because of the man's persona but KBC2 is back and he's back to kicking the backsides of every other show and TV personality... so... Amitabh Bachchan!

Nothing to say about the man... that hasnt already been said.

Dedicated to the friendly folks in the comments section:

• Prannoy Roy - the NDTV head honcho. Probably the best political analyst and election anchor in the country.

  
  




• Derek O'Brien - the Bournvita Quiz Contest quizmaster.

  
  




• Cyrus Broacha - the spaced out one man mayhem machine.

  
  

Special mention: Diana Hayden does a sweet job on History Channel's Biography. Standing ovation for Diana...

I have avoided Karan Johar and Simi Garewal because their shows are too sugary and pretentious... too much vitriol too...

Got some name you want to add? Thats what the comment section is there for :)

Phew... the bees have left... I know what you guys have to say ''Please go and watch more TV!''

~finis~

The booby prize goes to Navjot Sidhu for dominating everyone and not letting anyone get a say... bad sidhu... very bad...
