moderator / host
'Moderator' and 'Interviewer' can both appear in conversations in front of an audience or in the media. A 'Moderator' guides people through an entire program, event, or discussion and pays attention to the structure. An 'Interviewer' asks a person specific questions in order to get information, opinions, or a story. The words can be confused because a 'Moderator' on a program can also conduct interviews. Still, 'Interviewer' is more precise when asking questions is the main focus. 'Moderator' fits better when the person is leading the whole program.
