MeleTOP (or MeleTop) is a Malaysian television infotainment talk show and variety show aired weekly on Astro Ria. From its debut in 2012, it was hosted by the same two presenters, female host Neelofa, and male host Nabil Ahmad, until Neelofa left in 2019. It has held the annual Anugerah MeleTOP ERA (MeleTOP ERA Awards) jointly with Malaysian radio station, ERA since 2013.
Program history
MeleTOP (sometimes capitalized MeleTop) is a Malaysian television infotainment talk show and variety show, aired every Tuesday on Astro Ria.[1][2] The title comes from the Malay language word "meletup", meaning "explosive".[3] MeleTOP first aired in 2012, with female host Neelofa (full name Noor Neelofa Mohd Noor), and male host Nabil Ahmad.[1] The program usually includes banter between the co-hosts, a comedic parody ("Parodi") segment, and celebrity guests from the entertainment world talking about their life.[4] The program is broadcast live, and was performed before a studio audience until March 2020, when it went to an empty studio due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[1][2]
In 2016, MeleTOP apologized for airing a video with an actor in blackface.[5] The video was intended to parody Malaysian singer Yuna and African American singer Usher performing the song "Crush", in Philadelphia, which had drawn criticism in Malaysia for the pair hugging on stage.[6]
Neelofa left the show in December 2019, with an announcement during the program, surprising the audience and her co-host.[1] Since then her role has been filled by a series of rotating celebrity female guest hosts, including Erra Fazira, Shweta Sekhon, Nora Danish, Elly Mazlein and Sherry Al-Hadad.[7][2][8]

MeleTOP ERA Awards
MeleTOP and Astro Radio-owned Malay radio station ERA jointly hold the annual "Anugerah MeleTOP ERA" (MeleTOP ERA Awards), which awards prizes based on public voting in several categories in music, film, and television entertainment.[13] The awards have been held annually since 2014, with the 2013 awards being held in February 2014.[14][15]
In 2017, Neelofa, who was one of the hosts of the awards program, won the Top Top Meletop main award for a female celebrity.[16] In 2018, while again hosting the program, she won four awards, for best fashion, television actress, television drama, and Top Top Meletop. Neelofa acknowledged that many Malaysians questioned her winning at the same time she hosted, but said that there was no impropriety since the awards were determined by fans, not by the show.[17]
