Two careers wherethere are no do-overs.
Broadway and broadcast news are both live. No second take, no editing suite, no safety net. That is the training Wendee brings to your stage.
Making a ballroom of six hundred feel like a room of six.
Twenty years on stage is training in storytelling and scale. Holding a large house, trusting the script, and knowing the moment to step off it because the story needs you to.
- Presence that carries to the back of the house
- Storytelling that gives an agenda shape and momentum
- Extemporaneous instincts when going off script serves the room
- Handling script, cues, movement, and audience at once
Asking the question the room is actually thinking.
Broadcast news taught Wendee how to get the real answer, not the rehearsed one. Put a guest at ease fast, do the research nobody sees, and follow the thread when the conversation opens a door.
- Interviewing that makes guests comfortable enough to be candid
- Research and due diligence done long before the room fills
- Live pivots when the plan changes, on air and on stage
- Live shots delivered unscripted and unrehearsed
- Fluent anywhere: studio, red carpet, street, ballroom
She is the reason we hire a professional on-camera host. You can’t mess around with a live broadcast.

The people who book the room.
Wendee was our emcee at a national sales meeting for a well known pharma company. It was a two week meeting, and Wendee started each day with the most amazing energy, poise, humor, class, and effectiveness. She was loved by all the presenters she interacted with, as well as over 600 attendees. If you are looking for a wonderful emcee and host for your event, I would recommend Wendee Lee Curtis without any reservations.
Get Wendee Lee on your show and you are in great hands!! Smart, funny, authentic, curious, passionate, eloquent, couldn't ask for more!
Wendee is AMAZING. Great at preparation and following the script but always brought her own personality and flare to each task. I cannot recommend her enough.
She absolutely knocked it out of the park. We were looking for an authentic host who could truly connect with our audience, and found exactly that.
