anchor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'tv personality' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'sancho rode carrying' is the wordplay.
'carrying' indicates a hidden word.
'ANCHOR' can be found hidden inside 'sancho rode'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anchor that I've seen before include "No arch when you drop it, oddly" , "Charon (anag.); Styx ferryman" , "Ship's brake" , "Ship's fluke" , "Firmly secure; moor" .)
