emcee

“Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, an obsessive player of the game herself, serves as the emcee in the TV version.

He DJ’d on live radio continuously for 79 years, and emceed legendary music revues almost that long.

On “The Daily Show,” which airs on Paramount-owned Comedy Central and has rotating hosts, Jon Stewart suited up for emceeing duties outside his usual Monday slot.

This year the White House Correspondents’ Dinner canceled a planned appearance by comedian Amber Ruffin, the latest in a series of kerfuffles over controversial emcees of that event.

Cheerleaders and the band went through boisterous pregame routines before a crowd of about 1,400 as a ceremony hosted by emcee Lorenz Evans honored notables close to the program.
