This was my first exposure to the US style where the host reads out the advert. I’ve gotten used to it now obviously but it was jarring at first. It felt wrong even, i remember thinking surely it’ll cause some people to buy the product just because they like the host. I suppose that’s the idea. I met him once and accidentally offended him. I didn’t mean to, just crossed wires. I think he misheard me, probably thanks in no small part to my accent!
