jovial

I tried really hard in between takes to just be jovial and make jokes and stuff like that.

His media career blossomed as a jovial foil to the tough-talking, former Manchester United captain Roy Keane on Sky Sports' Super Sunday.

The ex-Netherlands international was jovial when he wandered over at the start of a training session in Los Angeles to speak to a group of journalists, some of who covered the club when he was a United player 20 years ago.

Mark Hartman, the coach of that Little League championship team, said Flaherty was a jovial kid off the field, but never on it.

Maybe the intended effect was to make his questions look harder-hitting than those posed by jovial entertainers.
