Who is Sukanya Krishnan — the New Host of ‘Sister Wives’ Tell-All ‘One on One’

Tuning into Season 16 Tell-All, you noticed a new host — Sukanya Krishnan — but who is this new face in the chair for Sister Wives: One on One? Here’s everything to know about the latest addition to the TLC series.

Who Were Past Hosts of Sister Wives Tell-All?

If you’re a longtime watcher of the Brown family series, you may recall there were several hosts before Sukanya Krishnan. And there were also seasons with no wrap-up show.

It was hit and miss in the early days in the first few seasons. And a couple of recent ones that had no season-ending wrap-up specials. Sister Wives Season 1 wrapped uniquely.

Polygamy was a new topic for the reality medium as Season 1 launched. So, NBC news correspondent Natalie Morales talked with Kody Brown and his spouses. That was the season that ended with Robyn Brown joining the family.

After the special with Ms. Morales, they had one more episode. That was the Honeymoon Special featuring Robyn’s post-marriage getaway with Kody.

That aired in late 2010. Sister Wives Seasons 2-5 had no Tell-All events at all. That’s long before Sukanya Krishnan joined the series at its latest interviewer.

Three Other Tell-All Hosts Talk to Kody Brown & His Brides

After season 5, the next eight seasons all featured Tell-All events. These were usually in multiple parts. The first of these hosts was Tamron Hall. You probably know her name as a journalist and host. She even has her own show – The Tamron Hall Show.

Tamron hosted two Tell-Alls in Season 6 – which ran double long with 20 episodes. Her first Tell-All with the Brown aired Season 16 Episode 11. And then the show flowed into another combo season. So, she popped up again in February 2014 for another Tell-All.

She hosted Season 7’s Sister Wives Tell-All in the Summer of 2014. And Tamron was back for Season 8 in March 2015. She hosted Seasons 9 & 10 as well in November 2015 and June 2016, respectively. That wrapped her run.

Season 11 and 12 both featured two-part Tell-All specials hosted by Andrea Canning. She’s an author and news correspondent for Good Morning America, and Dateline, among other series. Then, in Season 13, we saw a new face.

SuChin Pak took on the Sister Wives in 2019 for a two-part season-ender. Pak is a journalist who’s been a regular on MTV for G Word, Total Request Live (TRL), and various MTV red carpet awards gigs.

Then, Seasons 14 and 15 of the TLC plural marriage show wrapped with no Tell-Alls because of COVID concerns. But now, it’s back, and a brand new host is asking the tough questions.

Who is Sukanya Krishnan — Sister Wives: One on One Host

Season 16 has the biggest Tell-All ever wrapping in three parts. Some of the concerns might be about COVID. But it’s more likely down to the splinters in the Brown family. During S16, Christine Brown tossed Kody out and says they’re divorced.

Plus, he says his marriage to Meri Brown is pretty much over, but she won’t leave. And Janelle Brown’s union with him is more of a committed friendship. With one functional marriage left, it’d be pretty awkward on a group couch.

So, Sukanya’s chatting with the five Brown adults One on One, as the show name indicates. Like her predecessors, Ms. Krishnan has news and hosting background. She’s Indian-born and Staten Island, New York raised.

She’s also a local Emmy winner for her work in the NY news arena. Sister Wives: One on One is her third gig for TLC. The first was the virtual dating show Find Love Live. She also hosted 90 Day Fiance: Love Games which had the cast of 90 Day Fiance battling each other from home.

Now, Sukanya Krishnan’s addressing what might be the most challenging season of the plural marriage show. She’s grilling Kody on his COVID rules. And she’s asking Meri and Janelle why they stay.

And of course, Sukanya’s delving into Christine’s decision to walk away from Kody — but to remain very close to wife #2 Janelle Brown. Part 2 of the Tell-All airs Sunday, June 6 and Part 3 on June 13.

So far, fan feedback on the new host has been positive. What do you think of Sukanya Krishnan?
