I would add Rylan Clark-Neal, at one point he was getting up at 5am for This Morning, going off to do V/Os for a show on ITVBe then going off to Big Brother's Bit on the Side, which finishes at midnight. (Then at weekends filming Celebrity Ghost Hunt).

Corrected that for you, her stand-in period wasn't that long...

Well they have different mixes of presenters standing In, so it's very possible that Savannah could be doing more later in the summer. Megyn Kelly's show started mid-September, so Kelly could be on leave until then

She returned on Monday, so only had one week off. Savannah only actually filled in for two out of the five days Megyn was away for, and for one of those she was co-hosting with Jenna Bush-Hager.

Still, she does a lot - and her presenting dutys and commitments on the main show are big

Away from news, Carol Vorderman was of course one who was everywhere for a time, but is hardly seen on screen these days.


I seem to remember there was one day, sometime in the late 1990s, where she was on all five terrestrial channels.

What's the first name that comes to mind? For me, growing up in the 90s, it's amazing to think Zoe Ball presented Saturday morning television, anchored the Radio 1 Breakfast show during the week and the occasional TOTP. She must've been cream-crackered!


I remember seeing a sketch with her in where they took the piss out of that, had her dashing between studios exhausted. I think it was on the end of the year show in 1997/98.

Going overseas, French game show presenter Nagui has shows on every week of the year of which most run twice daily and don't repeat.

He also occasionally presents live peak-time programming on France 2.

Think George Stephanopoulos presents GMA on weekdays plus ABC's Sunday politics morning show, is the main ABC breaking news presenter plus fills in on their evening newscast.

American presenters in general work a lot, I mean full 5 day weeks, very few days off and vacation. Gotta earn those millions.

Chuck Todd as well doing MTP Daily on Tuesday - Friday, likely working Saturday with a Sunday show and off Mondays.

Hoda Kotb you could include in addition to Savannah. Shes up early with the main Today Show, then the fourth hour and a Sirius XM (satellite radio) Show on Today Show Radio in the afternoon.

I agree with JamesWordNews on Ben Bland seems like on any given week he works most shifts on TV and radio.

Vanessa Feltz does 0500-0630 on Radio 2, then 0700-1000 on Radio London - and for a while, on top of that, was doing her Channel 5 talk show. Not quite sure where she got time to sleep.
