RECENTLY launched talk show, Freaky Friday which virtually premiered its first episode on New Year’s Day is giving fans of local personalities front row seats into the lives of their favourite celebrities.
The talk show that is being shown on Pishavilla and Freaky Friday YouTube, Facebook and Instagram pages is being hosted by model-cum-actress Randall Ncube, actress Shevonne Mlauzi, fashion designer Petronella Mutsvagairi, entrepreneur Nicolette Mdluli, MC Perfect Nkiwane and actor Mayenzeke “Mr Mayo” Mpofu. So far, it has had guest appearances from Asaph, Ben Chest, Babongile Skhonjwa and MaForty.
Like the show’s name suggests, freaky questions have been asked and this has made the show popular among audiences as people tune in to get to know the private lives of their celebrities.
Pishavilla Communication founder Tavaka Matunha said in order to ensure that there is engagement between show producers and audiences, they have introduced a competition for viewers.
“We have a segment on our talk show called Show us your talent where we ask viewers to send 30-second video clips of them showcasing their talents.
“By so doing, we want to engage with them while encouraging them to stay home, but also show the world what they are good at. With the current lockdown people, are confined to their respective homes thus this platform comes as an instrument of hope as it allows our fellow citizens to remain active and creative while at home,” Matunha said.
“We’ve started receiving videos and we’ll start posting them during the week. Due to the lockdown, we’re posting every two weeks our talk show meaning the next episode will be next Friday where Novuyo Seagirl will be the guest artiste,” said Matunha. – @mthabisi_mthire
