The Show Open

VJ (to camera, high energy): Hey hey! It's Friday, it's loud, and this is Top Ten Tonight! I'm Riya, and we've got three new entries this week, one of them straight in at number two. Let's go!

Note: name the show, the host, and a teaser within about ten seconds.

Audience Interaction Segment

VJ: You've been sending your dedications all week. Kavya from Mysuru says this one's for her best friend who just moved abroad. Kavya, this one's for you both.

Note: use first names and city only, with permission; never share private details.

The Close

  • Tease next week
