She will speak from her own experience, her observations about certain social phenomena, and hopefully do interviews with guest stars, when the show becomes regular.
She is quick-witted, Jin says, which is useful for a live talk show host.
"I can't be an author because I lose my train of thought when I sit down. I am inspired when questioned."
She says she would be a great host for the annual spring festival gala show, which is telecast live each year on national TV.
Jin defines her personality as "true and direct", and she says she will not hold back.
"I think the core values of my show will be truthfulness, directness and quick-wittedness," she says.
Jin cites a story she just heard on radio about a university student beating up a man who was harassing a woman. The bad guy ended up in hospital while the student was detained by police.
"I will speak out about such cases of social injustice," she says.
She says her theater performances will be even bolder than the TV edition because "lots of the inappropriate words will be cut from the TV show".
Jin has done her homework and says she wants to present her show "American-style", after Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman or Ellen DeGeneres.
"You can't compare one host's show to another, because the personality defines each show. It's closely connected to life and experience.
"It is only convincing when you combine your own feelings and experiences with your own opinions on life and social phenomena," she says.
She is determined to develop a talk show unique to her, working with audiences in the theater.
It will be "something you won't find in Europe, America or any other Asian country. It is something starting right here in Shanghai".
