COMEDIAN and TV presenter Eugene Khoza has scored himself a TV gig.
He has recently been announced as the host of a new show called I’m With Your Ex that is set to start on Mzansi Magic on Saturday, 14 January.
The show more than a confrontation reality show, it has been described as an exploration of love and the places we find it andlooks at what happens when romance strikes in the same friendship circle twice – leaving relationships in jeopardy.
It’s based on the question: is love worth risking it all?
It’s a show where people come clean about who their new lover is, in fact, their friend’s former flame.
“In 2022, we grew the slate of original reality shows on Mzansi Wethu, and we’re continuing with that path in 2023.
“Saturday nights are especially exciting this January, and we look forward to giving our viewers some great entertainment that’s exclusive to the channel,” said Shirley Adonisi, Director of Local Entertainment Channels at M-Net.
This new gig for Eugene follows a five-year hiatus from the entertainment industry and it’s part of the comedian, broadcaster and podcaster’s return to the limelight.
Eugene recently told SunBuzz: “Before lockdown hit, I had taken a break from doing shows here at home. I wanted to grow my brand overseas and I was there until 2019. When I came back home, Covid-19 hit.
“The five years include these years.”
Eugene has also been recently performing at several fully booked stand-up comedy shows across the country.
