GQ South Africa|October 2018

American television personality Zuri Hall is taking her brand global. We caught up with the E! News correspondent at the Vodacom Durban July

Bernd Fischer
The Hall Effect

GQ: Have you always wanted to pursue a career in television? How did you get started?

Zuri Hall: Yes, I’ve always wanted to be in entertainment – I grew up on stage, acting and doing commercials. I fell in love with presenting after winning a competition to be the face of a local TV station. And the rest is history!

GQ: What’s been the highlight of your career so far?

ZH: I really enjoyed awards season. Working with our E! red carpet team is really special – they’re a well-oiled machine and they know what they’re doing. Working alongside Ryan Seacrest, having the honour of being a co-host on a redcarpet show that he’s a part of, is amazing. I co-hosted the Oscars E! red carpet with him this past awards season, along with Giuliana Rancic.
