Early Life and Education

Career

Annita Pania began her career as a French language teacher and songwriter, crafting lyrics for various artists before transitioning to television.

Her breakthrough came in 1995 with her debut as a hostess on To Chryso Coufeto (“The Golden Sugarplum”), a dating show that aired on Macedonia TV, New Channel, and Star Channel.

The show’s unique format and her sharp, sarcastic commentary quickly garnered attention, establishing her as a bold new voice in Greek television. Her early success laid the foundation for her distinctive style, blending humour with provocative content.

Pania’s career peaked with her show Je t’Aime on Alter Channel, where her husband, Nikos Karvelas, provided songs for featured talents, producing underground hits like “To ’ho Anagi Poly” and “Sex, Gardouba kai Doner.” Her shows, often criticized as “trash TV” for their sensationalism, also popularized catchphrases that entered Greek slang.

She expanded into acting with roles in Me Fora (1999), Roda, Tsanta & Kopana 5 (2019), and Next Please (2024), and authored a controversial book, I Ekdikisi tou Colochartou (“The Revenge of the Toilet Paper”), which faced mixed reviews. Her talk show Annita Koita! (2019–2021) further showcased her engaging, if polarizing, persona.

Pania remains a significant figure in Greek media, known for her unapologetic style and ability to connect with audiences through humour and controversy. Her recent work includes appearances on Alpha TV and ongoing discussions for new television projects, as noted in 2019 reports about her return to daily TV.

Despite criticism, her influence on Greek pop culture is undeniable, as her shows have shaped the tabloid talk genre. Her resilience, seen in her response to a high-profile 2008 legal incident, underscores her enduring presence in the industry.
