Wright invited The Citizen to hang out with him and his co-stars while they were filming Friday's edition of e.tv's The Morning Show.
Lee Roy Wright returned to television after nine years of unplanned leave, starring in e.tv's Morning Show.
Wright invited The Citizen's camera crew accompanied him and his co-stars Kgosi Rankhumis and former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Brighton Mhlongo on set.
From arriving early to putting on makeup and getting ready for the show, the video offers a glimpse into the life of a TV show host.
Wright was part of Craz-e from 2008 to 2015. But before that, like so many other young South Africans watching on TV, he believed he could make a contribution.
“This might sound really cliché, but I always felt like I was born for television or a part of television. Even if I wasn't a presenter, being in the industry or working behind the scenes. There was just something about television that I was drawn to.”
Mr Wright is originally from Uitenhage in the Eastern Cape.
“Looking back at our growth, this is [TV] “Coming from a small town in my hometown in the Eastern Cape, the world has always seemed larger than life. I always had dreams but never thought I'd be able to achieve them, but sometimes you just have to take things into your own hands and make it happen,” he said.
Wright joins Mamohau Sesean on the morning show, which is hosted by Lankhumise and Mhlongo.
