Explanation

'A host of X' is an idiomatic expression meaning a large number or multitude of something. 'He has a host of friends' means he has many, numerous friends - suggesting a large social circle. This is a common collocation where 'host' takes on the meaning of 'multitude' or 'large number' rather than its more common meaning of someone who receives guests.
