Why this structure worksIn cooking, the host could praise a chef, compare them to a cartoon character, joke about a 'limited edition' spatula, and ask them to 'bless the ingredients' before starting. In gaming, the host could introduce a pro player, compare their avatar to a movie star, joke about their 'noob' gear, and ask them to 'start the match' to set the vibe.
