  Comments:
Added senses.
In Japanese, "MC" does often refer to TV hosts. I think we should include "host" as a gloss.

  Comments:
The JEs only have the "master of ceremonies" meaning for this. Daijisen has 4 others: member of Congress, Marine Corps, machining center, and marginal cost. No sign of TV presenter.
If you are going to persist with the suggested edit, you MUST provide a case with examples or references.
