Lewinsky to host Fox reality show: ‘Variety’
MUMBAI: As a host for a reality show, you couldn’t get someone more qualified than this. Monica Lewinsky, whose affair with former US president Bill Clinton was the grist for salacious reportage is reportedly going to be hosting a reality show for the Fox network.
Daily Variety reports that the former White House intern will be hosting a dating show, Mr Personality, which is to debut on Fox on 21 April.
Seems fitting that the woman behind the affair that had the television networks and the whole US media in a feeding frenzy, should host another of those increasingly popular dating / marriage reality shows.
Reuters quotes Variety as reporting that Mr Personality will follow a group of average-looking guys whose faces have been masked as they try to win the affections of an attractive young lady. Their looks will be concealed throughout the dating process, as the woman eliminates a contestant each week until she narrows her choice to one man.
Lewinsky, who now designs handbags and accessories that she sells via her Web site, most recently appeared in the HBO documentary Monica in Black & White. In the programme, Lewinsky answered questions about her affair with Clinton.
Lewinsky has earlier also appeared in an MTV special with zany comedian Tom Green.

EPIC Company unifies all brands under single EPIC identity
IN10 Media rebrand aligns TV, digital and films into one ecosystem
MUMBAI: The EPIC Company, formerly known as IN10 Media Network, has announced a sweeping brand consolidation, bringing its television channels, digital platforms and content IPs under a single identity, EPIC.
The move is aimed at simplifying the company’s structure while creating a more connected content ecosystem spanning television, digital and films. By aligning multiple verticals under one umbrella, the company is looking to present a sharper, more cohesive face to both audiences and partners.
As part of the transition, several channels have been rebranded to align with the EPIC identity. EPIC will now operate as EPIC TV, while Nazara becomes EPIC Bharat, Filamchi is now EPIC Bhojpuri, Gubbare transitions to EPIC Kids, and ShowBox is reintroduced as EPIC Music. Ishara will continue under the identity EPIC Parivaar, maintaining its core positioning.
The company has also refreshed EPICON, its streaming platform, to reflect a more unified and modern brand experience. The overhaul is designed to improve content discovery and create a seamless experience across platforms.
This consolidation follows the recent launch of EPIC Studio, a unified production arm that brings together Juggernaut Productions and MovieVerse Studio, as the company expands its footprint across films, OTT and television.
The EPIC Company managing director Aditya Pittie said, “As our scale has grown, it has become important to simplify how we operate and how we present ourselves to the ecosystem. This consolidation gives us a clearer, more future-ready structure to partner, invest, and build at scale, while ensuring that for viewers, the experience is more seamless and intuitive.”
With the rebrand, The EPIC Company is positioning itself as a platform-agnostic content network, focused on scale, simplicity and integrated storytelling. By bringing everything under one banner, it is aiming to make its content universe easier to navigate and harder to ignore.
