Lance Smith Hosts a Workshop on Hosting Shows
Gone, but so not forgotten. That's how I feel about Lance Smith, the former CMT Top 20 Countdown host and red-carpet anchor for every country music awards event I ever watched. He left CMT late last year, which bummed me out, but I've kept in virtual touch with him after he moved out to Los Angeles to pursue bigger dreams. He will be briefly heading back to Nashville to teach a two-day workshop at The Actor's School next week (March 15-16), explaining all about how to be a show host. Smith always made it look easy, but I'm guessing that it's not, and that a lot of work goes into that kind of gig. The class is $150, so if you've ever dreamed of interviewing stars and getting paid to talk about entertainment, it might be the best $150 you've ever spent.

This may not be the appropriate place for this question but I have been unable to get an answer from anyone. We have watched the Top 20 Countdown regularly for the past 8 years. Love the show, love the music, loved the vids but ONE question that no one seems to know or willing to answer. HOW ARE THE TOP 20 SELECTED EACH WEEK?????
