Robin Cooper calls an Ethiopian language TV show

by Robert Popper on November 8, 2009 · View Comments

I saw this Ethiopian language show on the crazy DBN channel (Sky 595) and just couldn’t resist phoning in. As ever, the hosts were charming, if a little confused.

Apologies for the sound being Nirvana-esque (i.e quiet, then loud)….

3 JohnnyW2001 November 9, 2009 at 5:52 pm: Lol, the guy looks confused before you even phone in. Just watch his face, especially as the phone rings. Wonderful. His face is perfect throughout.

Best moments: The mysterious hat. “It has this wonderful reservoir.” The camera work. The presenter's attempts at keeping viewers… even if they don't speak the language. The presenter's wonderful face.

Well done Robin!
