Kalondu Musyimi is making a significant move in the Kenyan media landscape. Known to many as Mpasho’s interview queen, she has officially landed a show host role at the state broadcaster, KBC Channel 1.
She will take on the new host for the station’s premier entertainment programme, Club 1 Extra.
A Fresh Start for Club 1 Xtra
Musyimi is set to lead the rebranded version of Club 1 Xtra. This high-energy entertainment show has long been a staple for viewers looking for a mix of music and celebrity culture.
The show is scheduled to air every Friday. It begins at 4:30 PM and runs until 7:00 PM. Kalondu will make her debut on Friday 6, March.
This prime-time slot ensures the programme captures the "Friday pulse" of the city as the weekend begins.
“I am super excited to make my debut on Kenya’s national broadcaster. My dream has come true, and this is literally God Almighty answering my prayers,” Musyimi said.
Changes in the Hosting Line-up
The arrival of Musyimi comes amidst several changes at the broadcaster. Last year, previous host Wanjiku Wanjiku announced her exit from the show. Other personalities who were part of the Club 1 Xtra team include Liza Diva and DJ Colejax.

The new version of the show promises to be a rebranded experience for the audience. While it retains its core focus on music, it will now feature a more distinct touch of celebrity interviews and gossip, areas where Musyimi has established her reputation.
What Viewers Can Expect
The programme is known for its interactive nature. It frequently features segments that encourage audience participation, such as:
- #HitOrRun: A music review segment where viewers weigh in on the latest tracks.
- Question of the Day: An interactive segment focused on trending topics.
- Celebrity Spotlights: In-depth interviews with Kenyan artists and media personalities.
Music remains a central pillar of the show. Fans can expect a variety of genres, with a particular focus on R&B and African hits. These are typically delivered via live music mixes, often featuring a DJ.
Digital Interaction and Reach
KBC is leaning heavily into social media engagement for this new era of Club 1 Xtra.
For Musyimi, this role represents a major milestone in her career. She described the move as "just the beginning" of her journey with the national broadcaster.
Her versatility in digital entertainment reporting and lead hosting role on national television marks a new chapter for both the presenter and the station.
