Model, spokesperson, and rising television personality co-hosts alongside Chuckie (Chuck Armstrong) on Wonderama’s global broadcasts from Times Square

Model, spokesperson, and rising television personality Alisa Obrivanova has become a familiar and welcome face on Wonderama, the beloved family variety show broadcasting live from Times Square to more than 90 million households each week. Working alongside co-host Chuckie (Chuck Armstrong), Obrivanova has helped anchor some of the program’s biggest events, including Wonderama’s 24-hour global New Year’s Eve celebration, which follows the magic of midnight across time zones — from the first fireworks in New Zealand to the iconic Ball Drop at One Times Square.

Reflecting on the New Year’s broadcast, Obrivanova said what makes the night special is sharing it with the world — that no matter where viewers are watching from, Wonderama Live From Times Square reminds audiences everywhere that they’re connected as they welcome a brand-new year.

Obrivanova has appeared on the Wonderama set filming live from Times Square as part of the show’s successful re-launch, joining a hosting lineup that includes veteran Wonderama host David Osmond. The broadcast continues the program’s decades-long legacy of showcasing diverse talent and fostering family fun, now reaching a new generation of viewers with a signature blend of music, culture, and connection.

With her warmth on camera and natural rapport with audiences of all ages, Alisa Obrivanova is quickly establishing herself as one of the fresh faces carrying Wonderama’s family-first spirit into its next chapter.
