What you'll be asked on this show
Suki Hayer's interview style adapts to the format. In panel discussions, he acts as a moderator, teeing up topics for his expert co-hosts with broad questions like, "Girls, give me your thoughts on the Empro Classic results." He directs the flow of conversation rather than probing deeply himself. In one-on-one or on-the-floor interviews, his style is more direct and journalistic. He focuses on an athlete's immediate future ("What's your show plan for 2026?") and elicits predictions on major contests ("In a final callout between Ryan, Kyron, and Ali Bilal, who wins?"). He is skilled at getting concrete, news-worthy information about an athlete's career plans and their take on the competitive landscape.
The show employs a multi-format approach. The main host, Suki Hayer, acts as a moderator and news anchor. In panel shows like 'Bikini Insider,' he directs a conversational discussion between pro co-hosts, often using on-screen Instagram posts as talking points. During event coverage, he conducts short, direct interviews with athletes on the expo floor.
