because it reveals whether the power relations between the host and the guests influence the use
of the politeness strategies. The study is descriptive qualitative study in which all the data were
analyzed described based on the theory proposed by Brown and Levinson (1987). There data
were taken from the MN episodes whose topic is Cipta kerja: Mana Fakta Mana Dusta. After
the data were collected, and reduced, they were classified based on the classification in Brown
and Levinson (1987) theory. The analysis started by classifying the types of PS and then they
were divided again into subdivision of types of Politeness strategies. In order to make the
analysis more clearly, those data were displayed. The findings show that Natjwa used positive
politeness with the type of seeking agreement, asserting of presuppose S?s knowledge of and
concern for H?s want, avoiding agreement, using in group identity marker, and including both
speaker and hearer to the activity. The types of negative politeness and bald on strategy are not
