The only MC hosting Tao Quan at the age of 54 is still waiting for the right person.
MC Thao Van shared that regarding love, she wants to let fate take its course, just be gentle and wait and see.
I am naughty and funny
- When mentioning MC Thao Van, the audience immediately thinks of a female MC with a deep, calm voice. So what special personality traits does the real-life version of you have?
I consider myself to be a playful and fun person. Besides, what people see most clearly and is my typical personality is that I am gentle, calm, simple with everything and relatively optimistic.

- As an MC who has been associated with the Tao Quan program for more than 20 years, how do you feel about each Tao Quan season?
After more than 20 years of attachment, my feelings have never diminished compared to the first day. Every year, when the end of the year is approaching, when preparing for the working time,Tao Quan, I always feel excited and expectant.
First is to expect phone calls and messages from the program producers.Tao Quanschedule to participate. Then there is the feeling of excitement waiting for the recording day, the day when all the brothers and sisters have the opportunity to meet after a long year. The artists participating in the program are all very busy, sometimes the whole year they don't have many opportunities to meet. ToTao Quan, we were reunited, gathered, shook hands and congratulated each other.
After the show, the artists, whom we jokingly call the "Old Apples", will always arrange a time to gather together, chat, and share memories of the rehearsal and filming process.Tao Quan... For me, every Apple season that passes leaves behind wonderful emotions, still as full as ever!

- Tao Quan is still VTV's "golden goose" program with advertising costs reaching over 1 billion VND per minute. What do you think about this?
I think this is also understandable.Tao Quanis a program that the audience especially looks forward to and has a lot of love and affection for the artists. It is a worthy reward for the crew, the meticulousness and sophistication of the program.
My mother and I's Tet is still simple and gentle.
- What is the most special thing MC Thao Van and her son do during Tet?
Mother and son cleaned and decorated the house together, spent time visiting Tit's grandparents (the nickname of MC Thao Van's son - PV), Tit's father - People's Artist Cong Ly, then visited and wished a happy new year to his maternal uncles, visited his maternal grandparents' graves... During Tet, mother and son went to the pagoda together.
- Compared to last year, what changes or growth has your son had this year that makes you most satisfied and happy?
Tit's maturity is different over time. Accompanying him through each stage, I understand this. If before he was hot-tempered and reactive, now he is calmer, more mature, more thoughtful and has an open view on many issues in life. Some of his sharing also surprised me because it was so profound. I realized that he has grown up more than I imagined. At that time, I often said to myself: "This is truly a 20-year-old young man, not the boy he used to be!"

I like really nice men
- You have been a single mother for a long time. Do you ever feel the need to open your heart more to welcome new happiness because your son also really wants you to find your other half?
Meeting the right person is extremely necessary and good for each of us, there is no reason to keep our hearts closed. I know Tit always wants his mother to be happy. However, regarding love, I think it depends on fate, just be gentle to welcome and wait.

- At the present time, who is the type of person that will have "attraction" or make an impression on you?
I like men who are truly kind, responsible to everyone, keep their promises, and do what they say from the smallest things.
I think that when you live a kind and responsible life, people will naturally love and respect you, because when you are responsible, even if you do something wrong, you know you have to take responsibility for that mistake. Not only men, but also women, I think they need to be kind and responsible.
- What is your biggest plan for 2025?
In 2025, I am still ready to work and share everything with my relatives, friends, and colleagues. I will continue to complete my work at the National University and cooperate with suitable programs at the TV station if any.
