He entertains the crowd (4)

I believe the answer is:

host

This clue is a double definition.

'he entertains' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the crowd' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for host that I've seen before include "Compre" , "A load" , "Present" , "Provide entertainment" , "Landlord; army" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
