Brett Chukerman is the latest host to join The V Channel, Brett answered some random Q&A's.

What did you do before VChannel?
I am an experienced host and presenter for several networks. I have worked for The Auction Network, CNet, and Beverly Hills TV - to name a few. Most recently, I was the live co-host for the first ever live, interactive web telecast of the Red Carpet Arrivals at the 2010 Academy Awards for Oscar.com, produced by ABC.

Most embarrassing on-screen moment?
During the Oscar's this year, Wolfgang Puck was brought on our stage with miniature, chocolate Oscar statuettes for the banquet. When I told my co-host that I felt like I had just won my own Oscar after Wolfgang handed me one, she immediately pointed out my short stature by saying "It's about the right size for you, Brett!"

Tell us a secret
I have 2 cats, and could very easily become one of those people with 20 cats, with cat calendars, mugs and sweaters.

What’s your idea of the perfect Sunday (when you’re not working)?
I love to travel, so when I have a weekend off, I try to go on an adventure somewhere. If I am at home though, a perfect Sunday would be coffee and a book on my porch, followed by a drive to the beach to rollerblade along the shore and then meet friends and family for a great, home cooked dinner.

Which living person do you most admire and why?
For my career right now, I am always following what Ryan Seacrest is doing. He is the hardest working man in show business, something I aspire to be. Live broadcasts, daily news, the hottest reality competition show and producing several new projects - sounds like the career I want to achieve.

What is your guiltiest pleasure?
Food & Gadgets. If I need a quick fix, any kind of ice cream or cupcake will feed my need. If I need a new toy, you'll find me at an electronics or computer store, pressing every button possible!

How would you like to be remembered?
As someone who was welcomed into peoples' lives and made those lives happier, lighter and more fun!

What is the most important lesson life has taught you?
Success is made by persistence, not luck.

What's Your Favourite?
Food: Sushi
Drink: Arnold Palmer (Iced Tea & Lemonade)
Film: So many to choose from - "The Shawshank Redemption" & "Soapdish" always come to mind first though
Music / Band: Country / Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban & Dido
Colour: Blue
Season: Summer
Place in the world: Paris, France
Smell: My cat's belly

Now you know a little but more about Brett, catch him on Sky Channel 664.

We catch up with Benjamin who has been a host with the V channel for 3 Months for some quick Q&A's

What did you do before the V Channel?
I have spent recent years trying to make a name in the art wholesale business. I've spent a lot of time working with artists personally to produce editions, and facilitate moving large quantitys of art at prices far below what people would have to normally pay.

What’s your idea of the perfect Sunday (when you’re not working)?
If I am not working.....Hmmmmm? If I have the time to do so I like to drag the kayak down to the ocean and paddle for half the day,
spend the other half hiking up the hills in Malibu, then wind down with a huge salad and a mojitto some where by the beach.

Which living person do you most admire and why?
My Grandmother LaVerne. She raised me after raising six kids of her own. She is the reason I am the man I am today! Thank you, Gram!

What is your guiltiest pleasure?
I don't really take time off -- I'm a WORKAHOLIC (which is probably why I am still single!). So I would say a whole day off with no emails or cell phone.

How would you like to be remembered?
As a good man, a great husband, and the best father ever. I like to think that I covered the first one, but I'm still working on the last two.

What's Your Favourite:
Food: Pizza! I grew up in Chicago, and every time I travel there I wind up shipping my clothes home and putting pizza in my suitcase. They are more precious than my favorite suit!
Drink: Mojitto! Makes me feel like I am on vacation when I have one -- especially since I rarely have the time to take a vacation these days.
Film: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, probably because my name is in the title!
Music / Band: Reggae / Bob Marley
Colour: Burnt - Orange
Place in the world: There's nothing like camping in Big Sur, California -- it's a little slice of heaven on earth.
Smell: Vanilla
