Meet the Host

Leyna Nguyen is a five-time Emmy Award-winning journalist who, after 26 years of covering hard news, stepped away from the anchor desk to focus on family, philanthropy, and fun!
She is host of the Consenting Adults Podcast, which focuses on the active private lives of the 40+ crowd.
She made broadcast history by becoming the first newscaster ever to anchor the news on two stations in the same market, with the unprecedented Viacom-owned duopoly of KCBS and KCAL-TV.
She has appeared in over 35 television shows and movies such as NCIS, Boston Legal, Austin Powers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Leyna was born in Vietnam and came to the United States in 1975. 
Before broadcast news, Leyna was a substitute teacher for K-6 and put herself through college by touring as a new wave singer. She’s known in the Vietnamese community worldwide as a host for Asia Entertainment productions and for her philanthropic work as president of a non-profit foundation called LOVE ACROSS THE OCEAN, which benefits underprivileged school children in Vietnam and assists underserved families in Southern California. 
Leyna has received numerous awards and accolades including YWCA Woman of the Year, AREAA Humanitarian of the year, 25 Most Influential Vietnamese-Americans in 25 years, and the California State Legislature’s "Woman of the Year" Award for her philanthropic work.
