I have a couple really interesting ones. Nothing like the boring, uninteresting people they’ve been trying out.
#1 - Dale Watson. Sure, he’s a musician, but he has just recently been in a movie, Yellow Rose. He’s been hosting his own “game show” Chicken S#IT Bingo for years. He is so glib, so funny, and certainly knows how to deal with the contestants. He would come from left field, and would surprise a lot of people.
#2 - Jerry Butler. From the PBS Doo Wop Shows. I don’t really know how it came about, but after the very first one, they KNEW Jerry was the one. And they made him the host from there on out. Jerry is just so elegant, such a perfect host.
I have gone to the Jeopardy site several times in hopes of suggesting a guest host, but no luck. I have a crazy idea, but it would be so much more refreshing than what they’re doing now. Any ideas?
One little bit of new information here. The assault victim was a “family member.” It’s crazy, I’ve been thinking all day that part of his motivation might have been that he is a perv, a pedophile. He had a daughter about the same age as his victim. I have to wonder, did the fact that his daughter had a boyfriend set him off, because he really wanted his daughter for himself?
This Panama thing sent me on a wild goose chase about a WBZ newscaster from long ago, Listo Fisher. He was from Panama. The things I learned about him were just awesome. It was a wonderful diversion.
