For as long as I can remember I have been infatuated with live television. More specifically, I am interested in the fine art of television hosting.

My sister and I used to create these “news reports” at home with our parents’ video camera. Our content would involve divulging the dirty secrets of the neighbourhood in our show called “As The World Talks” (a saucy spin on one of my mom’s favourite Soap Opera’s “As The World Turns”). Creativity at its finest if I may say so myself! =)

Either way, after throwing myself into hosting-type gigs here and there over the years, I have come to truly respect and appreciate the skills required to be a real-deal television host. There are SO many factors to take into consideration at all times. From the actual script, camera angles, and lighting to the uncontrollable factors like weather, boring guests, or a sneeze coming on. Hosts have to appear comfortable and put-together, all the while making sure that the actual story comes across in a clear and concise manner that the general public will understand.

So, in respect to the fine art of television hosting I now present you with my favourite TV bloopers of the day. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I find these things bloody hilarious. Enjoy.
