'It's contagious in a good way': Anchor John Quiñones on using 'What Would You Do?' as a wake-up call

John Quiñones has been presenting the ABC show since its inception and after 13 successful seasons, he opens up about how the show impacts minds both young and adult alike

In John Quiñones' ideal world, cameras rolling 24/7 is the way things should be. Documenting people in their most challenging moments is what the presenter's ongoing show, 'What Would You Do' is all about, and mind you - the scenarios depicted can range from anything silly, to extremely mindful - as fans and followers of the show already know.

For those unaware about the concept of the show, as the public targeted on it are, 'What Would You Do' has mastered the art of fazing random people in the public with absurd scenarios that call for action and through that, people's true nature often comes out.

And controlling all of that onscreen is the beloved Quiñones, who has had a stellar career in both reporting and presenting. As the show's anchor, Quiñones believes that through their program, they are able to 'sound the alarm' in various social situations. How so? He explains in a casual chat with Meaww.
