Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

NEW YORK, NY (January 19, 2010)-- The results are in from the Poll of the Top 100 "Dream" Interview Guests of 2010.
InterviewGuests.com, in conjunction with other PR agencies and professionals throughout the broadcast media business, announce the winners. See list below or go to: http://www.interviewguests.com/guests/articles/viewnews.cgi?id=EkAVFAyZlVkfjCQSBD&tmpl=default
Ballots were distributed to 18,000 members of the news media. In the historic poll of 1150 nominees representing a 'Who's Who' of the world, Politics and Entertainment dominated the top 100 list. Although there were Nobel Laureates, genius scientists and other noteworthy people nominated, after more than 1000 votes were cast, the three most popular categories boiled down to #1: Politicians, #2: Talk Show Hosts, and #3: Actors.
There were many surprises, including Oprah finishing #510. Perhaps people are more interested in Oprah’s guests than in Oprah as a guest. Michele Bachmann finished third, despite the fact that she is not (yet) a household name, behind #1 Rush Limbaugh and #2 Glenn Beck. Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio finished 6th! Apparently there is a silent majority approving his dressing illegal immigrants in pink pajamas. And George W. Bush finished in a four-way tie for 17th place with pro-family film critic Dr. Ted Baehr, Talk Host Mark Levin and columnist Michelle Malkin.
The 'dream guests' ballot not only allowed members of the news media to vote for both the best guests they had personally interviewed, but they were also able to vote for fantasy guests they had not been able to land for their talk shows. The ballot was essentially an industry ‘wish list’ of the best of the best-- any guests in the world that hosts wish they could interview. The only prerequisite for the voting was that the guests had to be alive--Sorry Elvis!
And now many from this dream list of interview guests are available now for interviews. Requests may be directed to poll coordinator Bruce Mack of InterviewGuests.com at: bruce@guestinterviews.com
