By Marinel Cruz Inquirer edu.jpgMANILA, Philippines--âIf you want to excel as a hos t, be original. Offer something that hasnât been seen or heard of.â The valuable tip is from Edu Manzano, one of the busiest TV hosts in the countr y today. Known for his quick wit and infectious humor, the 51-year-old actor and current chair of the Optical Media Board hosts two game shows on ABS-CBNââ1 vs 100â an d âGame KNB?â -- plus the early morning variety program âUmagang Kay Ganda.â Speaking at the launch of V-Go energy drink, which he endorses, Edu told the en tertainment press: âAnother secret of effective hosting is, be a good listener. You should just be reacting to your guests; you let them shine.â Edu said he admired Jon Stewart (âThe Daily Showâ) for the latterâs âability to converse intelligently about any subject -- politics, entertainment, even lite rature.â He said he liked David Lettermanâs âimpeccable timing and off-the-wall style -- a little acerbic. I like that.â Other TV hosts on Eduâs list include Oprah Winfrey and Barbara Walters. On the other hand, Eduâs colleagues like his style. Bernadette Sembrano, a co-h ost on âUKG,â describes him as âa natural.â John Lapus, of the talk program âShowbiz Central,â says Edu is âmy male counter part -- spontaneous, funny, witty and smart.â For Rica Peralejo, another âUKGâ co-host, says Edu is the âbest host in the cou ntry.â

This is true..when Kris was the host of Game Ka Na Ba it seems that the audienc
e are not that "Game", but I have nothing against Kris though she's really sarc
astic. But now, Edu is like giving the studio audience to participate by danci
ng and being comical like showing his "moves". And Edu is really funny!

my hubby and i like edu as host. he's the best! we don't watch the game shows b
ut loved his late shows before. sana bumalik yon....
am glad edu likes lettermen, bec. we love lettermen too, who's very witty and s
arcastic in a funny way :-))
we hope edu will have a late show again...please!!!
