Television presenters
A
television presenter is a
British term (
American:
host) for a person who introduces or hosts
television programmes. Nowadays it's common for minor
celebrities in other fields to take on this role, but there are also a number of people who have made their name solely within the field of presenting, particularly within
children's television.
Some presenters may double as an
actor,
model,
singer,
comedian etc. Others may be subject matter experts, such as scientists or politicians, serving as presenters for a programme about their field of expertise. Some are celebrities who have made their name in one area, then leverage their fame to get involved in other areas. Examples of this latter group include British comedian
Michael Palin who now presents programmes about
travel (such as ), and
Alan Alda, who has presented
Scientific American Frontiers for over a decade.
The term is also used in other countries, such as
Ireland. In the
USA, such a person is typically called a host or an emcee (from MC: Master of Ceremonies).
A
news presenter (American: anchor) is the host of a
newscast.

radio programmes instead of television programmes.
