Mr. Caleb Elolo Adjomah, popularly known as Giovani Caleb, the host of the most watched show in Ghana at the moment, Date Rush, has spoken about his experience and challenges as host of the show so far.
And according to him, just a week into the new year on January 4, 2021, he got announced as the new host of TV3 Ghana’s biggest screen Programme.
Many doubted his ability to steer the show and make it a success as the very few days he got announced as the new host, he had some heavy backlash from patrons of the Programme on social media, especially Twitter.
However, after the first episode was aired, people began to shut their mouths up and the jeers turned into cheers!
Speaking during an exclusive interview with Elorm Beenie, Giovanni Caleb spoke about his experience as host for the past 2 seasons and this was what he had to say…
“The experience has been a roller coaster ride for me. I’ve hosted different events before but Date Rush feels different. Hosting a Programme that has become this huge is quite honouring. I hopped on as the host of the show and it was an impromptu call, I was given just a week notice, short I would say, I didn’t really have time for in-depth feedback on the show”.
“The fascinating thing about the whole thing was that I had already recorded the entire show before I was publicly outdoored as the new host of the show, that was on January 4, 2021”, he further stated.
Speaking on his challenges, he also stated that; “Yes I knew I was capable, I knew I have been preparing for challenges on the job but this very one came as a big surprise because I wasn’t too sure what people’s reaction would be”.
In my 14 years’ career on the job I haven’t done anything as this before so there were mixed feelings. But here we are I’ve hosted Season 4 and Season 5, and for the first time the show went on for 6 months nonstop. Now that the previous seasons are over, I’ve gathered a lot of feedback from people which I’m working with. I can only get better”.
Date Rush is arguably the most viewed Television Show in Ghana at the moment. Kudos Giovanni Caleb.
