(FOUR) CARSON DALY
Why the hell not? He’s 37 and Kelly Ripa is 40. Carson has proven himself in the Dick Clark role many times over with TRL, the New Years Countdown, and his old late late night talk show. He’s a radio guy and knows a lot of random people. Him being on the show would add a huge youthful appeal to the show. He’s a dad and an adult too, but he can still party. I’d at least like to see him fill in to test the chemistry.
(THREE) RANDY JACKSON
Paula left. Ellen left. Simon left. Seacrest’s soul left long ago. Why does Randy Jackson have to be the only judge from the original American Idol? I don’t like Idol, but he’s a nice enough guy that people obviously like. This one would make a lot of sense and would a perfect career progression for Randy. “Live with Randy and Kelly”? Same initials. Why not?
(TWO) HOWIE MANDEL
I don’t think he has any game shows on right now. I’m fairly certain there’s no “hidden camera” shows he has on either. I could be completely wrong though. I’m just thinking it’s probably a waste to not have him on TV more. He’s a likeable guy, he has standup comedy to always fall back on when things are boring, and he’s guest hosted numerous times. People say “no! he’s a germaphobe!”. So what? Does he NEED to make out with the guests? I’m sure you’d love to watch him make out with random guests, but its morning time. I don’t even like touching myself in the morning. That sounded REALLY bad….
(ONE) DANA CARVEY
When he hosted SNL recently he did a great Regis impression. It got me thinking. Why not Dana Carvey and Kelly Ripa? He was groomed to have his own talk show for awhile. He’s hilarious and he can easily throw some fun banter out there. I see no reason at all why this wouldn’t make for a great early morning show. Being sent off to work or school laughing isn’t a horrible way to start your day.
