Isn't a local talent good enough to host TV show?

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->FINALLY, the Chinese version of music game show Don't Forget The Lyrics has started on Channel 8.
However, why is it hosted by a compere who called Singapore his "second home"? Why is it that after so much monetary investment and so many years of recruiting and grooming local talent, MediaCorp is unable to have a Singaporean host?
Overseas variety show hosts are comparatively more accomplished and articulate, and are adept at boosting viewership ratings. However, they often induce laughter by poking fun at their political leaders, teasing the contestants crudely and making a fool out of their co-hosts and guest stars. Male comperes invariably use lewd remarks about the female anatomy to generate laughter. Many unabashedly employ disgusting gesticulations in an attempt to tickle the senses.
We don't need that. I hope our imported host will respect our local audience in general, and our women in particular. There is no need to resort to irreverent actions and innuendoes to please or provoke the crowd. Don't forget civility.

What can the locals do other than regurgitate and get As for dead subjects at PSLE, O and A levels?

Sporn fucks are born followers and not innovators by nature. This state should not be disturbed lest they lose their follower identities and go berserk.

I was wondering the same thing, but I couldn't think of someone suitable from SG.
And it's not true that most Taiwanese hosts are terrible, he should watch the way that Harlem Yu hosts the singing program "One Million Singing Star". Classy yet funny.

You farkers still don't understand how the pappies work! The 154th and mediacorpse is the pappies avenue to sell all their propaganda. By hiring FTs to host tv shows they get to show that sinkies are not good enough. And this is what they want to show because they need fts to buy and rent properties and to jack up the GDP.

It is same like the pappy MPs. All the pappy MPs are quite stupid if you read and listen to their comments but they have no choice because they must choose people who are stupider than pinky boy ass long.

Dont blame sinkies. blame the pappies and their running dogs and prostitutes.

Some idiot probably thought having a Taiwanese Host will help sell the production to the Taiwanese. Either way no great loss. Reality TV is really a waste of time.
