Does being cloth-eared make one presidential material?

Anyway, 'emcee' seems rare, even in AmE:
<https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=emcee%3Aeng_us*30%2Cemcee%3Aeng_gb*30%2CMC%2CM.C.%2Chost%2Chostess%2Cmaster+of+ceremonies&year_start=1800&year_end=2022&corpus=en&smoothing=3>

This search is ambiguous, of course, since there are other kinds of 
hosts and hostesses (and Emcees sometimes take the rap).
