"Ananda is a refreshing splash of realness in the agonizingly synthetic youth market," a reporter for askmen.com wrote of the popular television personality Ananda Lewis. "Sassy . . . and unpredictable, she makes our hearts race, whether she's interviewing celebrities or tackling tough issues affecting teens. She?s the celebrity sleuth with the heart of gold. [She] not only gets the stars to come clean, she does it while promoting healthy attitudes." Thanks to her refreshingly optimistic attitudes toward young people, her arresting good looks, and her dashing sense of style, Lewis has built a sizeable fan following. She served as an award-winning host on the Black Entertainment Television (BET) topical-discussion series Teen Summit, which dealt exclusively with issues affecting teenagers, including premarital sex, early pregnancy, and illiteracy among young people. She has also had her own, short-lived, syndicated talk program, The Ananda Lewis Show, which premiered in 2001. To viewers between the ages of 18 and 34, Lewis is perhaps known best as a former video jockey and featured host and interviewer for MTV. Currently she serves as the Los Angeles?based celebrity correspondent for the nationally syndicated, nightly half-hour newsmagazine The Insider.
