All unjustified bashing aside, several Invision members and myself were discussing who we'd like to see host Deal. One name mentioned by multiple individuals was Jimmy Carr. I'm sure said people have their reasons for thinking Carr would be a good host for such a show...

I could see Carr easily. I would've said the accent might've been a barrier, but it didn't seem to bother NBC about Vernon Kay, who accent is worse than Carr's.

This is what I'm afraid of...

"Scott? Jeff. Listen, ever since Trump heard about 'Deal,' he keeps calling me and demanding to be host. I try to get him out of it, and he keeps saying, 'Apprentice? Yooge. Miss USA? Yooge. Miss Universe? Yooge. You still want those shows on your piece of s--t network, Jeff? Give me Deal.' What are we going to do?"

This is the same network that hired Billy Bush (who I didn't think was all that bad, but I am apparently alone in that regard), so I suppose it's certainly possible, but I dunno if it's a good idea. DoND is such a dry format, I think putting a host in there who is at his best when he is being low-key would be the kiss of death. Watch a clip from the Australian version sometime, and you'll see that Michael O'Keefe makes what is really a nothing show.

...and is a pretty-boy no-talent hack, like most British DJ's, but I digress...

You're not. I didn't mind him either, despite his lineage and how annoying he is on "Access Hollywood." Then again, I didn't even mind the cross-dresser or fake boob or whatever the segment was that seemed to bother everyone.

Seems like Al Roker's name often comes up around NBC game shows, but we've been fortunate enough to avoid him. I would think DorND needs a host with a darker edge, not jolly ol' Al.

...except it's not a dark show.

(I'm not saying it's a GOOD show. I think the concept is random and idiotic. I'll give it a try, but I'm with the other Chris, I don't think a game with virtually no skill involved is interesting. But it's not dark.)

Again, watch a clip of the Aussie one. It's a nice bright set. O'Keefe does the Happy Host thing, he's jovial and seems to want the contestants to do well.

That said, yeah, they'll get Nicotero or JD Roth in there.

I liked him as host, though... Then again, I was 12 or so when I last saw him host a game show, maybe I was easily amused back then.

It's like the Wisconsin Lottery's gameshow, times 10...with bailouts.

For what it's worth, I was about 12 when Roth was hosting Masters of the Maze, and I thought then that he was a giddy, no-talent ass-clown.

At least his replacement was Mario Lopez instead of Dustin Diamond.

Oh. I haven't seen a clip. I imagined from the description it could go sort of a Chris Tarrant, mess-with-the-contestants'-heads sort of way. I still hope Al Roker sticks with the weather.

Since we're throwing names out wildly, I'll put my .02 in and say Pat Kiernan... but he's probably better suited for a Q/A like Temptation.

This might be a good vehicle for Todd Newton, OTOH; but NBC hasn't released anything about the show yet.... just that it's ordered episodes.

BTW, Chris -- count me in on the "Billy was OK" group; he wasn't that bad at all.

What is amusing me is the people tossing out names who have never so much as seen a clip from the show. (Not saying you're among them, 'Yaki.)

While I'd love to see Kiernan on a game show again, DoND would be a waste of his mad reading skillz. I'd love to see him on a Sale-type quizzer, but since all of the experience I have with him is Studio 7, I don't know if he has the personality to carry the Instant Bargain and endgame segments.

That would've brought things to a Screeching halt.

I'll be in the TTD90 room. Hold your fire.
