I am producing several TV infomercials in the next few months. I am
looking for potential show hosts. The format the we use for our
programs is an editorial, talk-show type format. To this point, many
have looked like Larry King Live. Future formats for shows will be
like a living room talk show format with multiple hosts and fox news
style with guests coming in split screen "via satellite", etc.

I would like to find credible hosts with experience in these formats.
I would prefer people who have been news anchors or tv hosts in the
past, but they don't have to necessarily be known as a celebrity. The
objective is to have a host that will be comfortable, genuine and
relaxed in front of the camera with the intelligence and charisma to
carry out an interview agenda that we set.

Can you please find me sources for finding and contacting people like this?

Thank You.

Would supplying you with a list of TV host talent agents be an
appropriate answer for this question?

That would be great.

If you could find me a directory of the actual talents that would be even better.

Thanks

Hi! Thanks for the question.

Talent agencies representing news program hosts, anchors and even
reporters would be your best bet. I will provide you with links to
agencies that show off their list of news talents. You will be taken
directly to the talent list. I will also include tv news stations that
provide lists of their news anchors in their website. You may want to
contact them as well.
