About the artist
Lan Tsao is a Taiwanese female host, singer, and actress born in Taipei on May 19, 1968. As a teenager, her eloquence caught the attention of variety show producer 王鈞, and in 1985 she played a maid in the CTS television series "一代佳人." In 1987, she joined the acting course at the CTS Training Center; 王鈞 believed Tsao was suited to hosting and suggested that she move into variety shows.
During her time at CTS, Lan Tsao hosted programs including "好彩頭" and "綜藝萬花筒"; in the "各說各話" segment of "綜藝萬花筒," she played numerous characters, including 包葉仔, 金賽夫人, and 曹小猜. She also released three record albums.
Lan Tsao chose to study in Japan in 1997, interrupting her entertainment career for several years. After completing her studies and returning to Taiwan in 2004, she became the target of a prank on CTV's variety show "喜從天降." Her other hosting credits include "曹蘭日本流行報" and "WTO姐妹會," and she ended her tenure as host of "WTO姐妹會" in July 2012.
In June 2008, Lan Tsao and a friend opened "曹蘭日語" in Taipei. In 2019, she said publicly on "超級同學會" that after settling in Taitung, she would continue teaching Japanese remotely.
In the series "太太太厲害," Lan Tsao plays Meihui's mother, who is also the proprietress of the "公主旅館" in the story. In "整形過後," she and 劉瑞琪 play a female couple with an age gap; 林立書 said that the contrast between the two in temperament and image was precisely what brought about the pairing.
