The category was introduced in 2016, at the 22nd Star Awards ceremony; Lee Teng received the award for his performance in Love on the Plate 3 and it is given in honour of a Mediacorp host who has delivered an outstanding performance in a variety show, info-ed or infotainment programme. The nominees are determined by a team of judges employed by Mediacorp; winners are selected by a majority vote from the entire judging panel.
The award combined the previous categories for Best Variety Show Host and Best Info-Ed Programme Host. The restructuring of these categories was a result of the award ceremony organising committee's wish to eliminate the distinctions between variety and info-ed programme hosting performances.
Since its inception, the Star Awards for Best Programme Host have been awarded to three different hosts. Guo Liang is the most recent winner, receiving the award for his performance in Star Awards 2025 Award Ceremony. Quan Yi Fong remains the only host to have won the award six times, a record she has held since the 2024 ceremony. She also holds the record for most nominations, with nine total, including a double nomination in 2021. Bryan Wong holds the record for the most nominations without a win, having been nominated five times.
