One of the pioneers and first host of e.TV Ghana’s flagship entertainment show, the ‘Late Nite Celebrity Show’, Dzifa Affanie, while giving an insight into how the show started in June 2010 described her one- day come back as a one-night stand.
‘’ I will call today a one-night stand with the show. Thank you to every single host that has ever passed through the show, nine and half (9 1/2) years down the line the show is still going strong’’ she noted.
She narrated the history of the ‘Late Nite Celebrity Show’ when she came back to host the Wednesday, October 23, edition’s show. Her one (1) day come back was part of the e.TV Ghana @ 10-anniversary celebrations.
‘’ Sometime in June 2010 when Africa hosted the ‘World Cup’ for the first time, I received a call from JOT Agyeman, the General Manager for e.TV Ghana at the time to put something together.
He brought up amazing ideas which gave birth to this fantastic show. We, however, decided to continue after the tournament and that is how the ‘Late Nite Celebrity Show’ started’’ she said.
According to Dzifa Affanie, the show first started as the ‘Soccer Celebrity Show’ which metamorphosed into the ‘Late Nite Celebrity Show’.
A very delighted Dzifa Affanie thanked the management of e.TV Ghana for giving the former hosts of the show an opportunity to re-live that experience.
‘Thank you to the awesome team that has held the show together. I am grateful that management has recognised my contribution and brought me back to host for a day’’ she stated.
Dzifa Affanie who had so much fun interviewing Prophet Kumchacha pleaded with the production team to go on a commercial break so that she can compose herself.
The episode garnered 1.2k views on Facebook in just one hour with several comments.
One delighted facebook fan, Winnie Dravies, commented “Dzifa I’ve missed u soooooooooooo much. I actually stayed up this late just to watch you. Please don’t go away again. Welcome back Queen of Television”.
She also described the ‘Late Nite Celebrity’ as an easy-going show. Catch the anniversary editions of the ‘Late Nite Celebrity Show’ on e.TV Ghana and on GoTV Channel 177 at 9:00PM on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
