Children's variety shows are an important window for young children to acquire external knowledge. However, many domestic programs with this kind of theme are adapted from adult variety shows, which leads to the marginalization of the hosts who are supposed to play a key role, the similarity of their styles, and overly adult problems, which significantly impact the overall effectiveness of children's variety shows. This paper takes the popular "Crazy Mecca" as an example to classify and analyze the role positioning of different hosts in the program, and discuss its impact on the show's effectiveness. It then will examine the host's language style, behavioral actions, and emotional expressions, and discuss the professional requirements for hosts' behavior, speech, and emotions under different role positions. The paper aims to provide useful suggestions for the field of children's variety show host role positioning in China.
