The ex-MTV VJ on hosting Asia’s Got Talent, annoying e-mail habits and why he’s not wired to be an office drone.
8 DAYS: You were once an MTV VJ, so how does it feel to host something as big as Asia’s Got Talent?
ALAN WONG: It’s an amazing feeling. I feel this is the pinnacle of TV hosting. When I started out, I had no idea that I would get to do one of the largest shows in the entire world.
How did you score the gig?
I left MTV at the end of 2016, and I didn’t know Asia’s Got Talent were looking for hosts for Season 2 at that time, so I was pretty much unemployed for a long period of time. [Co-host] Justin Bratton and I actually auditioned for the first season but our good friends, Marc Nelson and Rovilson Fernandez, got the job instead. For this season, we received an e-mail asking us to audition again. Justin's a great friend, and we talked a lot about how hosting this show would be a dream come true. It is now.
Did you ask Marc and Rovilson for pointers?
We’re lucky that they are our good friends. So we got the chance to talk, maybe not so much for pointers, but about their experiences. What we learnt is that [the show] is crazy! They definitely helped us prepare for the fact that once you start filming the show, it’s full on. It’s all day, every day. People are filming during lunch and dinner breaks. They told us it'll be pretty intense, and it is.
