* The Cat in the Hat from ''Series/TheWubbulousWorldOfDrSeuss'' in its second season.

* [=CBBC=] presenters tended towards this in the days before they got the budget for a proper set; you can't really ham it up in a tiny continuity announcer's booth nicknamed "the broom cupboard".

* The (literally) [[BigFun animated dog host]] of the Creator/PBSKids game show ''WesternAnimation/FetchWithRuffRuffman''.

# ''The Over Sixes Host'': Wacky and zany and (usually) less "condescending" sounding. More likely to engage in pranks and tease (but not too harshly) the kids on their shows.

* Today's presenters of [=CBBC=] and ''Series/BluePeter'' are rather upbeat and adventurous; they create a fun atmosphere.

* ''Series/{{Bones}}'' had Bunsen Jude the Science Dude, who comes to the lab to invite Brennan to appear on his show. He winds up helping and is very competent, but takes time to explain everything he does, peppers his speech with mnemonic rhymes, and constantly declares things to be [[{{Catchphrase}} "Amazing!"]]

* Brazilian TV legend Xuxa of ''Xou da Xuxa'', ''Xuxa Park'', and [[ArchivePanic many other shows worldwide]]. She often acts in a upbeat way and creates a fun atmosphere, often intensifying it with her musical numbers. The other networks [[FollowTheLeader followed suit]] and there are two still popular AlternateCompanyEquivalent cases in Angélica (who ironically went on to be hired by [[Creator/{{Globo}} Xuxa's channel]]) and Eliana.

* Mike Nelson parodies Type 2 in one of the skits of the ''Film/PartsTheClonusHorror'' episode of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'', specifically spoofing Latin/South American kiddie shows like ''Xuxa''. He also plays a much more low-key host at the start of the skit.
** The presenter(s) of ''Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000'' come across as presenting a kids show for adults/stoners. Clean living and polite human host? Check. Puppet supporting cast? Check. Bits and pieces between the film/actual content? Check. Mild villains? Check.

Holly Willoughby is today best known as a sedate matronly host of breakfast and morning television for Creator/{{ITV}}. However, in an earlier incarnation as a very possibly Over-Excited Kids Show Host on a SaturdayMorningKidsShow, back in TheNineties, she was invited to tender her resignation after some over-enthusiastic dancing to the resident pop group, whilst wearing a low-cut skimpy top. The consequent WardrobeMalfunction enabled more ParentService than the [=ITV=] bosses were comfortable with, and went on, in live television time, for an appreciable time before Miss Willoughby noticed things were amiss. Neither, seemingly, did the cameramen.

** The hosts of both Creator/Channel5's Milkshake and Creator/CBCKids. They are rather upbeat and adventurous.
