Game Show Hostess School

[dzinkin]

From the December 2003 issue of What Satellite and Digital TV, a UK magazine whose name should be self-explanatory. :-)  It's in the "Footprint" column.

**********

Italian TV has a bit of reputation for being gratuitous with its use of dolly birds.  Footprint hears that EU funding has been secured for a school in Naples that teaches female students how to be game show hostesses and assistants.  Wannabe Carol Vordermans can learn the tricks of the TV trade on a studio set hosting a game called Quiz Lotto, which the school's owners are currently pitching to Italian TV channels.  It's not all about perfecting toothy smiles and tottering around on high heels, though.  The terms of the aEU (sic) grant requires (sic) students to be taught diction, show presenting, make-up, singing, dancing, acting, and the history of cinema and theatre -- all of which are no doubt essential for hosting Wheel of Fortune.

Four words: is this really necessary?

Probably not, but it might be a good way to meet chicks.

 Since the original article says the school is for female students, are you intending to pose as a woman to get into the school and meet them?  :-)
