You get to host your own talk show for one time only, which guests do you book & why?

Asked by ucme (50047points) November 9th, 2010

A TV talk show that is. One oppurtunity to gather guests that for you would be a thrill. Or maybe someone infamous that you would like to ask a particular question. Just a bit of fluff I know, hey sue me! :¬)

Do they have to be alive?

Now that’s a good suggestion, one which I wish i’d made. Okay yeah, they may be no longer living, if you wish.

Albert Einstein, Groucho Marx, Richard Feynmann, Sojourner Truth and Jane Austen.

Got to book the Pres as he seems to want the face time on talk shows lately…I would also want Robin Williams on the couch next to the Pres for laughs and musical guest and political guest commentator Henry Rollins.

Bruce Campbell, James P. Blaylock, Justine Sullivan, and Christina Applegate. Because I’d like to talk to them.

Morgan Freeman as show announcer. Guests Christopher Walken, Terrence McKenna, Douglas Adams, Carl Sagan, and Jacque Cousteau. Musical guest for the night, Shpongle

Another clarification question – are the people we have on required to give truthful answers? For instance, I would say that I would want to get a panel with Bush II, President Obama, Greenspan, Geithner, the heads of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Lehman Brothers and AIG, and an independent legal and economic analyst on and have them throw down on the causes of the economic crisis. But this would depend on them not being concerned with being “political” about it.

I’d bring back The Algonquin Round Table and give them knowledge of present day issues.

@iamthemob Hey why not? Let them play truth or dare even.

Heath Ledger (so I could talk to him about his performance as The Joker after the film’s release).

“one time only”

That is easy. ME!

Why would I waste my time with anyone else. You already know about them.
And, I would do it naked.

erichw1504's avatar

@ChazMaz So you would interview yourself… naked?

CMaz's avatar

Correct!

@ChazMaz Now that’s quality television!

I’m not sure my screen is large enough.

George Carlin, Richard Pryor, Dave Chappelle, Sarah Silverman, and Alicia Keys. Continuous laughter for hours and then some sweet soul music. Umm! Life would be good.

Whoopee Goldberg and Robin Williams, then I could just sit back and let the fun happen.

John Lennon.

Someone alive now? John Cleese. Michael Palin seems a lovely man, but he’s very guarded in his interviews. Cleesey’d let ‘em rip.

Bruce Campbell, Kevin Smith, and Gail Calder.

Why? Because Godammit! I CARE!!!
