On Wednesday night, Cassper Nyovest trended on Twitter for his foray into TV on SABC1.
Mzansi loved him as the host of season 2 of The Braai Show with Cassper Nyovest. That it was a controversial "takeover" from his arch-rival and predecessor, AKA, certainly fuelled curiosity, too.
The bottom line, though, is he holds his own in his new playground, so kudos to him.
He introduced himself as, "The rapping pantsula aka the new Doc Shebeleza, and this is The Braai Show With Cass."
He was a bit nervous as he rolled up to the crib of his first guest – former Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi.
Just to contextualise, his excitable state had more to do with Tunzi being his crush than TV jitters.
As they made their way to grab a few braai essentials, Nyovest caught viewers up on what she's been busy with, now that she is back home after a spell in New York City.
He also snuck in the fact that she's been his crush. The banter between the two was chilled and underpinned by a few jibes.
Overall, a few editing glitches aside, I thoroughly enjoyed the show.
◆ The Braai Show 2 airs on SABC1 on Wednesdays at 6pm.
