welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
reality TV show hosts for this list
we’ve chosen the hosts from reality TV
shows that guide viewers and contestants
alike through each episode we do have
some other business to take care of nick

you get some closure we’re looking
specifically at competition and
lifestyle based reality TV however so

Howie Mandel of Deal or No Deal or Jane
Lynch of Hollywood game night won’t be
included well a very special edition of
Hollywood game night it’s ladies night
number 10
Padma Lakshmi Top Chef good morning chef
like salt and pepper or peanut butter
and jelly
Padma Lakshmi pairs perfectly with both
fish show and its head judge Tom
Colicchio and together the two are
staples of Top Chef I must say that your
plate was the safest Porto Rican food
I’ve ever had Lakshmi offers cooking
advice from a place of definitive
expertise she hosted her own show on the
Food Network prior to this gig and has
created two cookbooks as well as a
memoir love loss and what we ate which
shows just how much food is part of her
life tonight’s decision is particularly
hard because there were a lot of chefs
and got a bad
the kitchen neither Padma nor Tom holds
back the spice when it comes to
critiquing food but both are able to
have fun and dig into their works making
for an easy to digest viewing experience
Steve expecting tomorrow good luck and
have fun number nine RuPaul RuPaul’s
Drag Race you know what time it is no
it’s time for the junior drag superstar
pageant you better work if you expect to
make it far on this show and you’ll have
to work even harder to get in the good
graces of this host and judge never
occurred to me that you’d actually be
out of drag I’m in drag rule but you’re
in a male drag RuPaul is nothing if not
fierce and full of wisdom sharing his
experiences and expertise with the
contestants and he’s able to let
everyone know that he’s still the drag
queen supreme without stealing the
limelight from the contestants you are
just jealous of my boogie known for jiff
worthy one-liners like don’t get up and
Shante you stay
RuPaul has created a space on TV where
lgbtq+ people are free to be whomever
they want to be without the worry of
judgment I am your family we are a
family here
I love you I love you
number eight Julie chin big brother so
nice big brother is back with another
season of drama fun and betrayal calm
cool and collected are the three
qualities that any host of this crazy
show would need to have and Julie Chen
has them all once you walk through that
door behind you you won’t come out until
you’ve either been evicted or won the
half-million dollar grand prize is
everyone ready yes having been with the
franchise since it began in the year
2000 Julie has grown in her hosting
abilities and is able to use her
journalistic approach to deal with the
wacky housemates she’s good at talking
to those who’ve been evicted and isn’t
afraid to confront housemates with
unpopular opinion everything they say
everything they do gets broadcast live
on the internet so when you say the
intention was not to hurt anyone
let me just read back a few of the
things you said referring to Candice you
said be careful what you say in the dark
might not be able to see the bitch she’s
come a long way since being called the
Chen bot and her signature no-nonsense
style is now appreciated I laugh out
loud in my office myself I said oh my
god I am the chess bot the antics of the
housemates would probably drive a rookie
crazy but Julie’s a seasoned veteran
who’s more than up to the challenge
welcome to Big Brother
number seven Cat Deeley So You Think You
Can Dance this search for America’s
favorite dancer has brought us here to
the freezing cold shores of Lake
Michigan it’s time for the Milwaukee
audition welcome
pinkey condensed she was brought on in
the show’s second season and honestly we
can’t remember what it was like before
cat started hosting a vivacious beauty
with an infectious laugh cats the kinda
host everyone wishes had more screen
time but that stop stop ham she has that
unique talent where she’s able to make
her hosting feel effortless like she’s a
friend to the contestant and makes the
viewer experience a low-stress
enjoyable one you’re gonna leave it all
on the stage she’s able to calm nerves
start the party and get the dancers to
share their personal stories with her
and let’s not forget she does this week
after week on live TV juggling the show
schedule and commercials like the pro
she is who else is in trouble we’ll find
out the prank number 6 Heidi Klum and
Tim Gunn Project Runway as you know in
fashion one day you’re in and the next
day you’re out like a designer and his
muse Heidi and Tim form a pair that’s
always in style as a host and judge
Heidi wears two hats and she looks great
in both I find is always so amazing when
you guys say like it’s the first time I
had to design for a real woman I’ve
actually Biko is not real she’s able to
connect with the contestants while still
being able to offer a harsh critique if
needed Tim on the other hand is an
advisor to the designers offering the
kind of guidance and wisdom that comes
from being a former teacher and chair at
Parsons The New School for Design in his
own measured sophisticated tone and
manner I’m the old fart
I admit it but I find to be pretty
vulgar Mary yeah you’ve got to be
careful of what happens here and what
happens back here right
and like any reality host worth his salt
each has their own signature catchphrase
Tim urges contestants to make it work
make that work while Heidi’s mastered
the art of the contestants end off with
a curt al wiedersehen
desi number 5 Tom Bergeron Dancing with
the Stars
Karnes our grand finale I’m sure you
wouldn’t think that the guy who hosted
America’s Funniest Home Videos would be
the logical choice to host a show that
brings the sophistication of ballroom
dance together with the glamour of
Hollywood yet there’s never been a
better match Emmitt and Mario are tied
with 89 points out of 90 they couldn’t
pick a winner so it was really up to you
Tom is in his element putting his
20-plus years of hosting experience to
good use on the live and sometimes
unpredictable TV show and of course
you’ve got to show the Gaiety and the
fun of the samba all right we’re going
to take a commercial break we’ll be
right back and we’ll be right back after
this since the series beginning he’s
been paired with various different
co-hosts but he’s the one viewer come to
for comfort until the votes are counted
the only way to keep the teleprompter
rolling is to roll the teleprompter I
can do this all night yeah that’s good
sure his jokes could use some punching
up and probably sound like something
your dad would say but it works and if
it ain’t broke don’t fix it our
elimination will continue when we come
back number four Chris Harrison the
bachelor and the Bachelorette so ladies
what are you thinking to play here it
takes a host as skilled likeable and as
easygoing as Chris Harrison to make a
show like this work not to mention
juggling all the spin-offs it’s produced
tonight we will have not one but two
beautiful women meeting 25 of the most
eligible men in America
that’s right for the first time ever
there will be two bachelorettes at least
for tonight
even if he’s faking it Chris act like a
believer in true fairy tale love which
is the premise this whole show hinges on
John propose to Kaitlyn and she said yes
and we are that’s right we’re all hoping
yes they live happily ever after he
sells the magic the fantasy and the
amazingness of the bachelor or
bachelorette helping them to find their
soon to be husband or wife in a room of
25 contestants who may or may not be
there for the right reasons last one
you entered into an inappropriate
relationship with one of them was one of
our staffers that staffer is no longer
working with us what’s more he’s
flexible no matter the circumstance
whether it’s consoling a sobbing
contestant who didn’t get a rose or just
humoring some of the more offbeat
contestants here’s the picture you sent
out you sent this out to your buddies
you said yeah you said don’t worry
Katelyn I’m coming for you yeah number
three Phil Keoghan The Amazing Race the
world is waiting for you good luck
almost 30 seasons in and Phil Keoghan is
still a globe-trotting super host
imagine how demanding his job is it
takes him all over the world two
different time zones and unfamiliar
locales and shoots up to two seasons a
year this detour requires teams to
choose two things that Belgium is in no
short supply of water or walk not many
people would be up for a job as
challenging as that but Phil’s been our
man since the beginning my name Marcus
you guys are still in the race you are
team number four unflappable confident
and always welcoming Phil’s the man you
want to see after a long leg on the race
plus he’s won ten Emmy Awards a true
adventurer in every sense we’d go
anywhere he leads us Tyler Corey today
you are team number one number two Ryan
Seacrest American Idol this is where you
find the best music on television and
this is American Idol here we go as one
of the most likeable faces on TV and
host of one of the most successful
reality TV shows ever Ryan Seacrest has
to be one of the most trusted men on the
small screen
[Music]
besa pilot Pomona AI remained a one-man
show
ever since Seacrest fellow host Brian
Dunkleman left after the first season
with movie star good looks and a hundred
watt smile Ryan has the hard task of
juggling the larger-than-life
personalities of the celebrity judges
with the eagerness of the contestants so
how would you sum up your city here I
know New York’s was going to rent and
they did in such a great way and that
doesn’t even cover the added pressure of
doing it on live TV up to twice a week
for 15 seasons charming and never thrown
off balance Ryan has the ability to make
everything look easy thank you guys so
much for watching we’ll see you next
week for American Idol right here before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions before you tear
everything apart
I’m with habitat humanity knows a few
things more than estate this family is
all about giving and well we’re going to
give to some other families okay don’t
destroy everything well we got to do
some demo so are you ready
lucky for you guys the snow is let off
and hopefully we’ll let up long enough
to squeeze in your first ton you six
people have been brought here from all
over the country for one reason to stare
fear in the eye as you compete for
$50,000 I don’t really fit in here I
wanted to clear something that’s
different you have something that you’re
not like used to you’re getting judged
on the transformation in your photos and
with who you are as a person
number one Jeff Probst survivor
survivors ready
joke it would be impossible to imagine
this franchise without his presence Jeff
Probst embodies the spirit of survivor
outwit outplay outlast let’s go we need
water water water
he’s been hosting the show since the
year 2000 and like a true competitor he
shows no signs of slowing down
for today’s challenge both tribes will
race out into the water to a large
bamboo cage you’ll climb over the cage
and into the water where you will find a
very heavy chest you must then untie the
cage door and drag the chest through the
cage and all the way back to shore
he’s the guy you want narrating the
challenges the guy you trust when it
comes to spilling your game strategy at
Tribal Council and the guy who keeps
calm during an emergency you’re in good
hands you have the luxury of having won
a challenge you can sit here and relax
no pressure
see what happens with the other two
tribes
unlike most other hosts it’s obvious
that Jeff is truly passionate about the
game and the greater social experiment
the show is trying to execute all due
respect to Austin people work too damn
hard to get in this game and fight to
stay alive who wants to lay his torch
down so it shall be the one constant on
this show Jeff Probst is a large part of
what keeps viewers coming back over 30
seasons into this iconic franchise
