Sally Frimpong Mann, a well-known entertainment personality and the current host of Showtyme on Adom TV, recently made some controversial statements regarding Nana Ama Mcbrown.
In an interview with Roselyn Felli on Joy Prime’s Changes show, Mann expressed her opinion that Mcbrown should not be considered a presenter.
Mann stated that she sees Mcbrown as an actress who is attempting to transition into the role of a presenter. According to Mann, Mcbrown is incorporating her acting skills into her presenting style, and this is not something she considers suitable for a presenter.
While Mann acknowledged Mcbrown’s success in her new presenting role, she maintained that Mcbrown does not possess the qualifications to be recognized as a presenter.
Mann extended this sentiment to include all actors and actresses who have crossed over into hosting TV shows, suggesting that many of them turned to presenting due to the decline in opportunities within the movie industry.
Specifically, Mann mentioned Emelia Brobbey and Kwaku Manu as other entertainers who are leveraging their acting careers to succeed in the presenting field.
She emphasized that these individuals rely on their fame and social media following from their acting careers rather than possessing a formal background in journalism.
Mann further expressed her belief that such personalities prioritize entertainment value over journalistic ethics in their presenting style.
She commended them for their popularity and ability to engage with audiences but emphasized that they may not fully uphold the standards expected of professional presenters.
Despite her criticism, Mann also acknowledged that these actors-turned-presenters have found success in the industry due to their existing fan base and entertainment skills.
She highlighted that while they may not conform to traditional standards of presenting, they excel in engaging and entertaining audiences, which is their strong suit.
In contrast to these actors-turned-presenters, Mann listed her favorite TV presenters, including Andy Dosty, Doreen Avio, Kwame B, Lexis Bill, Jerry Justice, and Quophi Okyeame.
These individuals, according to Mann, uphold the ethics of the job and demonstrate a deeper understanding of the presenting profession.
