“I Should Host” Finalists Take On Rodeo Drive

lxtv — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 22:35:49 +0000

A couple of weeks ago, we asked Angelenos to help us find our next host for 1stLook LA. Submissions poured in from wannabe hosts and votes were tallied.

We narrowed it down to three finalists: Cyndee San Luis, Mike Elling, and Kimberly Jacobs.

Our finalists hosted 1stLook LA this week, but not without some help from the hosts you already know and love. Check out the contestants’ hosting skills and tell us who you think should host 1stLook LA, in the comments section below.

What better way to kick things off than with a little man-on-the street interviewing? Gardner plays mentor as the I Should Host finalists take on Rodeo Drive.
