Travails of Working with the Network Host

Unless one has access to the entire process, the viewer only gets to see the finished product of several days of taping. The viewer is deprived of knowing the drama behind the scenes and the true attitude of the celebrities behind the camera. Sadly, the viewer is often made to believe that everything onscreen is synonymous to the celebrity.

When a group came over to witness the taping of one of the shows of Innovative Host (IH), they were shocked at what they had seen. First, IH was not at all interested in his segments and it seemed that everything he was doing was forced or done because actions were part of the image of IH. Second, while IH is supposed to remain neutral, he sometimes ends up influencing people with the action they should be doing in front of the camera. In other words, some guests are favored because IH says so. For example, expect IH to go all out if the guest happens to be moneyed. By contrast, if the guest were an ordinary individual, IH would just be cool. At one point, a guest complained at how IH came up with his unfavorable spiel, as he was not even around with the guest. Since it is his show, IH seems to be too comfortable and moves around whenever he wishes. As long as the camera is not focused on him, expect his fingers to be tinkering with his mobile.

As activities behind the scenes are difficult with IH, the staff could only do so much as IH has an audience that cuts across audience types and the show has a format that is synonymous to IH. However, things will get worse if the name of Versatile Celebrity (VC) is mentioned in front of IH. While VC appears as an actor and model, the network gave him a break as a host because he is articulate and adventurous. Ironically, VC only has good words for IH and considers the latter as a model of hosting. However, what VC does not know is that IH has been bad-mouthing him. For example, IH is critical of the hosting style of VC and cites that he lacks knowledge on topics tackled in his segment. IH even vowed not to allow VC to guest in his show.

Over the years, IH has established a name in his field and thus, has amassed a certain following. However, unlike his contemporaries, he has remained in that genre, as the others have moved to other assignments and have shown their potential. The network, meanwhile, continues to discover other talents, such as VC, and thus, IH seems to be relegated to the background. Nonetheless, regardless of the source of his alleged insecurities, good behavior is still a requisite behind the camera.
