Okay, the program I am thinking of used to be on C4 in the UK, but I’m sure it would have originated in the US.

Anyone remember a magazine type show, a little like Eurotrash, which was presented by a really hot brunette with legs up to her armpits, who used to announce little video clips or sketches of usually odd things, and she also used to have a pizza guy pop in who she would chat up?

I reckon it was aired around the mid to late 80’s, but I’m prepared to be wrong.

Any clues, Dopers?

Sorry **BlueOhio** , it wasn’t that one. It was definitely a weekly series kinda thing.

That was the first thing I thought of, but upon reflection I don’t think she was very leggy. So a number of strikes.

Okay, what else can I remember?

She had a big hair do! Her name might have began with a “V”. There was a sort of gender-bending flavour to the whole thing. ( I’ll be honest, I don’t want the show’s name - I want the presenter’s really.)
