We got CNA presenters to SPILL THE TEA (ft. Steven Chia & Otelli Edwards) | Spill It EP 11

[@limwowo5902]

She's like the Kate Middleton of Singapore. Poised, eloquent, intelligent, fashionable. Much better than any mainstream celebrities on Channel 8, U or 5.

[@YouGotWatch]

She is beautiful!

[@rc....]

Hahahahahahaha Kate Middleton of Singapore and Jack Neo the Steven Spielberg of Singapore, who else? Hahahahahahaha

[@FireFoxGaming56]

Singapore is a pro-China Dictatorship pretending to be a democracy. No better than North Korea. 🤢🤮

[@johnwig285]

CNA is underrated. It is ironically more objective than unregulated media outlets such as CNN & FOX which have alot of freedom to say what they want but abuse that to dish out fake news & false sentiments to bash the other political party. Not to mention, you've never seen CNA presenters & reporters getting "owned/fact-checked" because they are v knowledgeable & got their facts right.

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

on behalf of the CNA team, thank you!

[@logicrule]

@@Steven.Chia.Singapore Are you the real Steve Chia? haha

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

@@logicrule yes, last I checked, it's still the same me!

[@Stubb0rnz]

What do you say about the 2 cases where they presented and glorified the fake millionaire harsh on forbes and glorifying the shoe scalper who uses bots to cheat at the expense of real sneakers lovers? Anything to say for this?

[@MrZomfgwtfbbq]

Have to agree with this. Also SPH opinion pieces are pretty good. Let's not forget that the individual (Mupert Rurdoch) controls news outlets. How is that more independent to controlling the narrative?

[@MDroid-bn6eb]

Enjoyed the episode. The only reporter I’ve ever reached out to for praise was Steve. And he replied to my message too!!

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

thank you!

[@pristymo]

Yes! I’m totally a Steve Chia fan

[@sharine04]

Otelli is always so poised and lady like when she is reporting. This interview shows another side of her. She's fun

[@Sllee93]

I’m so glad that actually we’re not the only ones who don’t understand some news. I’m like how in the world do they feel so confident in every news?

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

we read up a lot on the stuff we don't know before we talk about it on TV :)

[@Gabrielr8]

Cool I've never seen her in a casual interview till now! Haha so used to seeing her read the news the evening news on ch 5.

[@paecpc]

So refreshing to see the other side of these two famous local presenters! Thanks 😊

[@YouGotWatch]

Aww. You are welcome!

[@browniemushroom]

Omg I dieded at “to what degree will you go to to get the job” 🙃

[@YouGotWatch]

🤭

[@missymeowmeow6157]

Otelli always looks so goood loveeee the way she speaks!!!

[@YouGotWatch]

Us too!

[@Yadobler]

as a young lad, she attracted me to watch Ch5 news. more than a decade later, as an adult, im still impressed with her presentation, professionalism and charm (and gosh does she still look good!)

[@KelvinCrLin]

OMG i love this eps~~~~my fav 2 presenters in CNA of all time

[@YouGotWatch]

Glad you like it!!

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

aww...you just saying that right? thanks!!!

[@musenw8834]

Cos otelli been N5T reporter for damn long right 😂 and Talking Point w Steven Chia ftw But u get to see two reps having open convo and in a fun way i guess? If they'd featured wui lynn and Cheryl and Dominique in addition it would've been more interesting

[@hilmir]

Steve Chia is not traditionally handsome, good looking or telegenic but there is just something about him that is so disarming and/or gentlemanly that he does become attractive. what sorcery is this?

[@vikkiann]

This was so enjoyable. These 2 are a breath of fresh air.

[@BoiceInPink]

Love this segment! The variety of people you guys interview is great!

[@YouGotWatch]

Glad you love the segment! :)

[@shivanimehta2037]

I started paying attention to news because of Otelli and now at age 21, it has become a habit to read and watch the news daily. I really miss Otelli on news 5 tonight tho! As for Steven, I remember he came to my JC and he gave us a talk about journalism in today's world and I started watching talking point ever since then too! Love your car Steven 😂 and keep up the good work :)

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

thank you!

[@hypothesised4453]

6:00 “Have you ever had a laughing fit on air?” /flashback to Anderson Cooper giggling non-stop on live TV

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

yes i have! The more you try to stop the worse it gets!

[@kenleehk65]

Nice to see these two outstanding colleagues cross examining one another, great episode! On a side note for Steve.....I'm kinda envious you've got a nice old dame taking you around everyday.... better take good care of that old Merc

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

thanks! She isn't leaving me anytime soon!

[@ikhsha21]

Loved this! 2 of my favourites here!!

[@spyninja17_official28]

WOW! U guys really did a great job interviewing them! :-)!

[@YouGotWatch]

Thank you!

[@futurekidpresident941]

Yeah you did

[@bezalelthecreative8503]

I didn't know Otelli has a really charming side to her. cute!

[@bluelingen]

This channel should get more subs.💯 About the video, judging by the introI thought we are going to see Singlish Otelli all the way, but didn't happen.😆 She switches between news anchor Otelli and Singlish Otelli throughout the interview. Steven still sounds like he's presenting some news program. Overall, nice to see them in a setting that's not related to news reporting.

[@YouGotWatch]

Thanks for watching us!

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

Yeah, maybe next time we do one only in singlish! Can a not? 😆

[@musenw8834]

Totally caught me off guard, her singlish side. 😂

[@musenw8834]

@@Steven.Chia.Singapore i totally am in favour of keeping that reporting tone! After all, talking point w u as the host has kept me entertained and enriched 😉 Would be interesting tho to see if otelli did TP as the main host and u on N5T as the main reporter 🤔 but would you be up for that 🤔

[@ABC-ed8cg]

Steven speaks impeccable English on air and off air. He’s really this down-to-earth & approachable person. Otelli, polished as she is, looks a little intimidating if I’m honest.

[@chaeriim4678]

Enjoyed this interview!! I'm used to watching Steve being candid since he hosts documentaries and such, but not so much of Otelli. So it's really nice seeing her just not as a presenter.

[@Bu5es]

Being a News Anchor etc...is really heavily based off covering world affairs to become recognisable and paid well...you pay for the risk you take accordingly representing the media company you represent for. The more experience you get and the pay you get will rise accordingly together but it will take a genuine dedication for a decade or more to really be reaping rewards.

[@fruitygamer4283]

This actually like inspire me to become a news reporter lol

[@ngexianyu947]

best one omg so entertaining!!!

[@iawarenow658]

Steven was great on CNA - was so sad when turned on and he was not there.. CNA all different now

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

no lah, same same but different. I still work for CNA just doing something a bit different. Thanks for watching!

[@kh_167]

I remembered the old times when Suzanne Jung and Steven Chia were the morning weekday presenters from 7am to 9am, presenting news and other lifestyle stuff, now times have changed, but the duty to present the news and all remains the same. Well done guys 👍

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

thank you! yes, that now feels like eons ago!

[@noahakihaya]

LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂 this was so funny!

[@SGrailadventure2004]

Watching both Talking Point and on CNA or Channel 5 is keeping me up to date of the 'current happenings' around the world especially CNA. I would usually watch CNA very often even before during my primary school days before going to Secondary school, up till now, still going strong with watching some CNA programmes.

[@alpantanjung4824]

From my professional interaction with many Singaporeans, one thing is very common and dominant , they work as an employee initially but after a while they accumulate capital and finally they open their own business. So being an employee is only temporary in natute, in the end to be an entrepreneur. Now I am like Singaporean managing my own business. I enjoy my life, my family, and my business.

[@rockingstar3534]

Otelli looks so cute when she not reporting news😍

[@user-wu2we3vq9r]

they’re so cute omg I wish they could speak casually on air too :( I’d watch the news religiously if they did

[@geraldlimykify]

I was wondering how did the presenters get the accent? Was there any training or just the way that y’all naturally speak? Great show btw! :)

[@YouGotWatch]

Well... we should have put this into our questions! Follow us on IG @yougotwatchsg and let us know what to ask next time!

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

got accent meh? No lah, we just speak proper english when on air. But my singlish also strong!

[@musenw8834]

Oh, it's just a natural code switch i guess

[@jessical7083]

Er...... they just speak English well, something which plenty of us non-presenters do as well.

[@jintonic2984]

Loved this episode!!!

[@MattDoesLife539]

I remember in primary school, my parents always wanted me to watch channel 5 news at 9.30 pm to get a better commend of my English and Otelli is always the new anchor every single week. Basically my childhood xD

[@ehtjara]

YGW keep up the good content. appreciate it

[@YouGotWatch]

We are glad u like it!

[@LightBluly]

At 2:49, i wonder if there was a news clip. I don't remember this incident. If that happen today and 2010s, there would've been a news article talk about it. I'm curious to see that.

[@musenw8834]

Finally get to hear otelli in her natural accent... yeah boi!! Although of all the reporting / anchoring done i think otelli has had more subtle mistakes than steven. Anyways if they had featured some other reporters it would've been more the merrier 😉 but covid measures 🤢

[@ivanlimzg]

2:30.... Steven...😆

[@jaren7276]

Steven is so funny 😍

[@YouGotWatch]

We had a good laugh too!

What do news presenters talk about after the ending soundtrack comes on and the credits roll?

Interesting.... with some of my questions answered 😉

[@pocarisweet8665]

wait you guys are my favourite news reporters (everytime i will say ur intro with you PLS)

[@kennethfoo1458]

i remembered reading in The ST Otelli doing the 100M in 11.8secs!!!!!

[@Psychetravels]

OMG STEVEN!!! I always see him on CNA haha

He's now famous for drinking bubble tea for 2 months and then fasting for another month on Talking Point!

Ahh a bit like CNN, you mean?

[@QaDri93]

Bruh..you don’t know how big of a crush I had on Otelli Edwards when I was in secondary school lol She and Cheryl Fox :D

dude...i'm sure you are not alone :)

[@musenw8834]

Yep, the two most attractive anchors in cna 😆

[@futurekidpresident941]

Great job

[@sihanchen7552]

Yo I like Steve. I worked at a stats board some ten years ago, he was there to cover some event, and there was an ex PAP minister who was a guest of honor for that event. The event was on the opposite side of the road, so we walked behind the minister in a group to get there, it was kind of raining then, the minister refused someone holding an umbrella for him or what, and all of us behind him had to walk in the rain too. Then for some reason, Steve tilted to me and whispered some complaint (i cant remember what he said, but it was definitely to criticize the minister, like walau, this fella wtf something), I was sniggering and nodding my head, but at the same time thinking, oi aren't you gonna interview that guy in a bit? Had Steve dared to say that to the minister's face there and then, it would be Adios Muchachos for his career thats for sure. I figured if I were a journalist, I will feel exactly the same too ~~ There will be tonnes of people that I had to interview where I have to put up a smiling face on the screen, but behind curtains I will be rolling my eyes and hating their guts.

[@tulipsarepretty7791]

i love them

[@AnTo-h9v]

Am I the only one who gets giddy watching Otelli's vigorous hand gestures?

[@trainingwithlatiflivefit15]

Otelli is old...I remembered her as a kid 20 yrs ago

[@johnwig285]

Can i be honest? I watch CNA not just for the news but to watch my idol Julie Yoo (think she's korean?) 😂

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

whatever gets you to tune in to us! ha ha! And yep, she's korean

[@YouGotWatch]

should we get her on the show next?🤔

[@johnwig285]

@@YouGotWatch definitely omg!!

[@myas-3995]

Steven Chia, Suzanne Jung my favourites for the Morning breakfast show if I am not mistaken. Otelli Edwards, Andrea Chang(can’t remember her last name) are all beautiful and eloquent presenters. One of my personal observations is that there needs to be better racial representation among those who present in front of the camera. Mostly it is Chinese or those who look East Asian or those with a mixed race background. Would be great to see a Melanin rich Indian for instance hosting a CNA show in the Primetime slot and having more visibility. It’s 2022 we ought to do better.

[@eleanorrobi6426]

No wonder plumbing became so expensive nowadays...

[@YouGotWatch]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

but doctor fees are now cheaper? :)

[@glasseswangji279]

2:09 he said if have 30 year experience, but don"t have a degree, there is a good chance they might hired and job experience counts more than paper qualification. If don"t have a journalism/ mass communication degree or a degree, how can we go gather journalism experience to work in CNA etc?

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

the experience does not have to be in journalism specifically. Jobs will require that you write well, speak well...these will help and count towards that "experience".

[@matthewmurphy636]

If only they were English teachers 😞

[@Steven.Chia.Singapore]

maybe next career!
