Index M
M is for... Model - Similar to a hostess, except that a model demonstrates prizes and does not have a prominent speaking role. Since the 1980s, some shows have used male models. They are also jokingly referred to as “elbow grabbers”, given their penchant for escorting contestants on and off stage by taking the contestant's elbow.
