The�statement�said the talk show, which has become a household name for featuring the widest and most interesting array of guests, from presidents, governors and celebrities, to unsung everyday people who are doing extraordinary things, will in the coming months, wear a refreshingly different look as it is going to constantly feature a zesty co-host alongside the good old, vintage appearance of the inspirational Mo.

Speaking�on the new Moments with Mo, the Associate Director, Programmes, Magazine & Talk �EbonyLife TV, Sandra Amadio, said: This is a great chance for hot, fresh and brilliant young people who have been dreaming of being on�the hot�seat to interview top celebrities. It’s the chance to be in the spotlight alongside Mo to present top celebrities and happening people to a pan-African�audience, from the younger person’s perspective.

“Apart from the more youthful twist being introduced into the show, the entire look and feel of the set is also going to change from show to show. The set design will constantly be innovative, invigorating and refreshing, while underlining the quintessential�global�black disposition of the EbonyLife TV network.”

The show is getting jazzed up with a whole new look and feel and a new co-host. It’s a whole new show.
