After hosting several television shows, Surya Utama, better known as Uya Kuya, says that he'€™d love to become a news reader.

'€œI am a political science graduate and I'€™ve always dreamed of being a news anchor. Many news anchors overseas come from an entertainment background and I want to be like them,'€ he said as quoted by kapanlagi.com.

The 40-year-old, who was named favorite quiz presenter by the recent Panasonic Gobel Awards, said that he has been thinking about the shows that he'€™d like to host.

'€œI would probably want to have my own news channel that can give information, but is entertaining at the same time,'€ the father of two said.
