Deconstruction of the hosting function behind the phenomenon of “de-hosting” reality TV shows
Abstract
The article re-examines the functional hosting in reality TV shows from the perspective of “the program’s spatial

but not launching”. In this way, we explore how reality TV shows achieve “successful communication” in a communication fi eld where “hosts
are absent”.
