MC
A master of ceremonies (MC) is in charge of ceremonies, staged events, conferences, conventions, or performances such as parties. They are responsible for introducing speakers and or performers as well as making announcements.
The term is earliest documented in the Catholic Church since the 5th century, where the master of ceremonies is an official of the Papal Court responsible for the proper and smooth conduct of the elaborate rituals involving the pope and the sacred liturgy. Today, the MC is often the person who presents performers, speaks to the audience, entertains people, runs the award ceremony, and generally keeps an event moving. This is the case in the entertainment industry, for example in reference to television game show hosts, as well as in contemporary hip-hop and electronic dance music culture.
The master of ceremonies is sometimes the protocol officer during an official state function, especially in monarchies. In addition, MCs also exist in various chivalric orders and fraternal orders.
