KENYA’S CHARLIE KARUMI AMONG TOP 3 FINALISTS FOR TLC NEXT GREAT PRESENTER

TLC Next Great Presenter Top 3 finalists have been announced! After four grueling days of boot camp training sessions, expert coaching and tough challenges, we are excited to reveal the Top 3 who have made it through to the public vote.
The Top 3 finalists, as selected by the panel of expert judges including Thando Thabethe, are: Carissa Cupido from South Africa, Charlie Karumi from Kenya and Karen Paida Mukwedeya from Zimbabwe.
“I still can’t believe that I was chosen – it feels unreal and totally unbelievable! I’ve been dreaming about becoming a TV presenter since primary school. Through this process I have learnt how to thrive on and become more accustomed to pressure – I’m ready for the next phase!” Said Charlie.

Lee Hobbs, VP of Brand and Content for Discovery Networks CEEMEA added, “Choosing the Top 3 was incredibly difficult, as all the semi-finalists were extremely talented. But after watching the final boot camp challenges, it was clear there were three people who had true Next Great Presenter potential. For me, the Top 3 each represent the different sides of TLC; whether it’s the fun, zany side; the heart-warming documentaries; or the edgy fashion programmes. My advice to Charlie, Karen and Carissa would be to work on their campaigns and do whatever they can to make TLC viewers see what we saw, and vote for them.”
