Questions & Answers about Ведущий ведёт шоу спокойно и уверенно.

What exactly is ведущий here – a noun, an adjective, or a participle?

Ведущий is originally a present active participle of the verb вести (to lead, to guide, to host), but in this sentence it is used as a noun meaning “host / presenter”.

Grammatically here:

• ведущий – masculine
• singular
• nominative case (the subject of the sentence)

So you can think of it as “the one who leads (the show)”, and in modern Russian it is a standard noun for a TV/radio host, show presenter, etc.
