"I would like to host a show, something like travel or cooking or something like that, something I'm really interested in, and so I'm pitching a couple television shows"
About this Quote
The key verb is “host.” Hosting isn’t just a job title; it’s a bid for authority and permanence. For reality-era celebrities, the subtext is always about converting attention into infrastructure. A host isn’t merely famous; a host is scheduled, syndicated, rerun. Cannatella is effectively describing a career upgrade from being the subject of television to being the connective tissue that holds a format together.
The repetition of “something” and “really interested in” also reveals the balancing act between authenticity and marketability. Viewers are trained to demand “passion,” while executives demand a concept that can be explained in a sentence. Her phrasing tries to satisfy both: I’m not just chasing exposure, I have interests - but I’m also available for the kind of broadly appealing lifestyle TV that doesn’t require an Oscar, only a camera-ready persona.
The final clause, “and so I’m pitching,” is the tell: celebrity now comes with entrepreneurial labor. Fame isn’t the endpoint; it’s the leverage.
