I've already mentioned my fave, Mark Walberg. But the linked story runs through a bunch of possibilities, some of which have been chattered about elsewhere. There are also more than a few offbeat ideas. My quick and dirty reaction to all ten candidates...
10) Ben Bailey. I dearly loves me my Cash Cab, but Ben looked stiff on Who's Still Standing.
9) Pat Sajak. The guy already has this other show you may have heard about.
8) Mark McGrath. Don't send a boy to do an old-skewing show's job.
7) Matt Lauer. Heard this before. So-so, bland, who cares?
6) Tim Gunn. Who? Okay, I've heard of him, just barely. Too prissy.
5) Don Lemon. Again, who? I've absolutely never heard of this guy. Looks like a run-of-the-mill newsreader.
4) Rachel Maddow. Everybody to the right of Hillary Clinton would tune out.
3) Anderson Cooper. Another oft-mentioned possibility. His syndie just got axed and he doesn't draw much of an audience on CNN, a network going down the tubes.
2) Brian Williams. NBC is not going to let their news anchor do a game show. Any game show.
1) Meredith Vieira. She just quit a game show, after all.
