Vocatives, closely related to "addressing terms", are used to create pseudointimacy between participants of speech events, not only in everyday conversation, but also in media interactions, such as talk show. This paper presents a corpus-based analysis on the forms and functions of Indonesian vocatives used by female and male hosts, each hosting one of two popular talk shows in Indonesia, i.e. So Imah Show (with the female host) and Just Alvin (with the male host). The analysis is based on 12,746-word corpus of one episode for each of the two talk shows. The results show that the female host predominantly uses a politer form to her guests, namely the [kinship terms + first name full form] pattern; meanwhile the male host prefers a solidarity form, namely the [first name full form] pattern.
