Chris Anthony
"Hi, this is Chris! Welcome to Adventures in Odyssey!" was her favorite
line on the show. "And now, Adventures in Odyssey" seems to be her
current favorite. Either way, Chris Anthony has been on the show since
the very beginning.
As the main host, er, hostess of
Adventures in Odyssey, Chris is a bubbly, chipper, and energetic
voice to welcome fans to the show. Her main purpose is to introduce the
beginning of the show and conclude each episode with a moral and
scripture application. In the early days of the program, the show
started off with a small skit starring Chris. Each skit was usually
something out of the ordinary, and there was always some sort of punch
line to get the theme song started. Eventually, the format was changed
and Chris was given a small role on the show. Merely introducing the
show during the theme song, Chris stepped back a little and gave more
time to the actual episode.
Now, with every single episode to her
name, Chris could never be replaced. In more recent years, the AIO team
has brought back some of her personality by allowing her to crack some
jokes and even show the fans some bloopers from her acting career. Chris
helped the team out by hosting quite a few "Odyssey Scrapbooks" over the
years and behind-the-scenes features for the Gold Audio Series.
All in all, Chris holds the record for the
most episodes. Because of her personality, she is the ones that a
majority of Odyssey fans write to when they want to know something about
the show.
