host who has delivered an outstanding performance in a variety show, info-ed or infotainment programme. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.
The award combined the previous categories for
Best Variety Show Host and
Best Info-Ed Programme Host. The restructuring of these categories was a result of the award ceremony organising committee's wish to eliminate the distinctions between variety and info-ed programme hosting performances.
Since its inception, the award has been given to three hosts.
Quan Yi Fong is the most recent winner in this category for her performance in ''Hear U Out S4''. Since the ceremony held in 2022, Quan remains as the only host to win in this category five times. In addition, Quan has been nominated nine times (with a double nomination in 2021), more than any other host.
Guo Liang holds the record for the most nominations without a win, with six.
