Home > Permanent guest host


Permanent guest host is a term that possibly originated on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

If a television talk show's regular host was away, typically on vacation, a "guest host" would appear as a substitute. The guest host would often frequently change. If one particular guest host came to be preferred, that person would be named "permanent" guest host.

It is believed Penn and Teller were the first to declare the phrase "permanent guest host" to be a "rare triple oxymoron".
