I'm reading in translation where he is credited with "leading" the program, which could be host or could be showrunner.

As showrunner, he'd have more call to be there. As host, even less.

"Someone majorly fucked up and also here's a picture of someone" is kinda not great journalism, regardless.

    He’s the public face of the programme as the host. As in, when the show is mentioned, its his face people recognise. Its standard unremarkable journalistic practice. Paranoia is not a good look.

    Can confirm, he is the host.

    I don't mind that he's black, but he is cringe af as a television host. Not professional or eloquent at all. Not funny, but definitely trying his hardest to be so. Lame jokes that he laughs at himself, sometimes the only one who laughs, which is... uuughhh.

    I think he is there to appeal to a certain subdemographic of youth, and that is definitely not me. 😬 I can imagine certain people like him for his performance though.

    Sounds like the timeless qualifications for being a reality show host tbh

    Well, we hold people to a higher standard on certain channels. A few select channels we expect a higher standard of entertainment because of their decades long history of quality. But uh, yeah. I guess this guy's an acquired taste.

    That's cool that there are still standards for any channels there, lol. What's the subdemographic you think he's appealing to?

    Being the host makes it very not likely that he was the one responsible for managing the footage since those are two different jobs. That makes it unfortunate, if not borderline-libelous, to put his face on this article and give the impression that he was the one responsible for the fuck-up.
