Smart Hosts of Dumb Shows

I like the girl from extreme dating the best because she looks just like one of the Kathy Lee-alikes on the morning shows except she's whip-smart and seems like she could walk all over the show in her sleep and also she really punches the delivery.

The dude on Street Smarts bugs me cuz he's actually probably faster since he has to go scriptless and improv. gags as he goes along but he doesn't come off that smart and still pulls the superiority shtick with the people he interviews. I like this show when I want to feel better than everyone else but can't be arsed to really justify it.

The Blind Date dude belongs on America's Funniest Home Videos and I don't even notice whoever it is that does Elimidate which is fine by me since that show is all about hot chiXoR trying to out-skank one another which whispers to some deep dark ugly corner of my brane in v. pleasing ways.

Extreme Dating is actually a great show in some ways like the opposite of Joe Millionare -- the guy has all his pretense and moves stripped away thanx to ex-gfs warning his date via the magic of wireless communications, and thus he has to rely on his own traits. And every single date ends with the hot tub so its like all the cues are mapped out -- if she likes you she strips. The formalism removes the opportunity for deceit.

Jeff Probst on Survivor is pretty sharp. He wrote what I've heard is a good screenplay, and his hosting of the post-finale reunion show was surprisingly insightful.

Damn, you tricked me! Survivor is not a dumb show!

Aisha Tyler (or whatever her name was)? She's swell. I've liked all the Talk Soup hosts.

The lovely and brilliant Charlotte Roche of the insipid and failing German music channel VIVA.

I think I'm slowly falling in love with Kate Heavenor off of CBBC. Her and Ortis do seem a bit too good for most of the shit that's on there...
