MC JESSY

P: Who is the better presenter?

MJ: In English it’s her but when it comes Kiswahili she can’t beat me because as they would say in Luganda, Chishwahili chake ni Chibofu (Her Kiswahili is pathetic).

P: If Monique weren’t a presenter, what would she be?

MJ: She would be a traditional dancer because she has some serious Kinyakole fundamentalz.

P: What is the most embarrassing thing she has ever done or said on air?

MJ: She once said, “Oh My God, I didn’t know guys from Meru are actually called Amerucans” and she went on and on— feeling hot, like she had just discovered wireless electricity.

P: How does she behave in the presence of a hot man?

MJ: She scratches her head when she’s blushing. There’s a day she scratched her head so hard after meeting Citizen’s Hussein Mohammed, until her weave fell off.

P: What is the weirdest thing a fan has ever said to her?

MJ: There’s a day we left the studio and found a fan waiting for her outside with flowers then he took her to Kempiski Bila Rioza— a madondo joint near our offices. The next day she came with a big roll of tissue and kept running to the toilet after every five minutes.

P: What does she do when you go off air?

MJ: She can’t stay still. She normally goes to book breakfast because it’s free so that she can get the biggest arrowroots.

P: If you could set her up on a date which local celebrity, whom would you hook her up with?

MJ: Obviously that would be Ken wa Maria – Fundamendoz hapo zitakubali.

P: One thing people don’t know about her?

MJ: She normally gets high on Redbull so I would advise Ken wa Maria not to buy her alcohol on their date because she will start crying.

P: If she were a shoe what type of shoe would she be?

MJ: A Size-10 wedge, because she’s very stylish.

P: One thing she can’t leave without?

MJ: Her red lipstick; she has tiny lips so she believes that’s the only way people will see them.

 

 

MONIQUE

P: Who is the better presenter?

M: That’s a no-brainer; I’m the best because I can handle Jessy with his craziness while still staying sane and doing my job.

P: If MC Jesse weren’t a presenter what would he be?

M: A dancer. You should see his silly moves.

P: What is the most embarrassing thing he has ever done or said on air?

M: Most embarrassing? He does that all the time. But I must say he once showed up without taking a bath and he openly said it on air.

P: How does he behave in the presence of a gorgeous woman?

M: He blushes which makes it very embarrassing to watch.

P: What is the weirdest thing a fan has ever said to him?

M: One of his male fans called in and he was too excited to speak to him so the caller wanted him to get in touch after the show for a one-on-one.

P: What does he do when you go off air?

M: He does a lot of dancing, practically to every song.

P: If you could set him up on a date, which local celebrity would you hook him up with?

M: I would answer his long-term prayer by setting him up with Kirigo Ng’arua, finally. All his efforts to get her attention have been futile.

P: One thing people don’t know about him?

M: Food is everything to this man.

P: If he were a shoe what type of shoe would he be?

M: He would be a sneaker because he’s down to earth kind of like the guy next door.

P: One thing he can’t leave without is?

M: His cell phone. I don’t know why yet he hasn’t figured out that it’s a smart phone.

 

VERDICT: These two make an adorable pair. Good girl Monique chose to go easy, thereby giving MC Jessy a deserved win.
