Re: [TV orNotTV] Alec Baldwin hosting Match Game? No.

[Diner]

Laura is an excellent choice! 
I just hope they bring back Dick DeBartolo to write the questions.

BTW, back in 1998, on my first trip to California, I went to Television 
City and watched a taping of three episodes of that year's Match Game 
revival. Interesting experience. Among that version's problems was that the 
panel never gelled - Vicki Lawrence was the only panelist who seemed 
interested in actually playing the game. 
Best thing about that version was the emcee, Michael Burger - a worthy 
successor to Rayburn, and a host who could have been a big name in the game 
show field if he'd been born twenty years earlier.

In the Betty White/Fannie Flagg slot, I would recommend Laura Benanti, the
snarkiest soprano on Broadway.

I think Wheaton would be an excellent top left.

Accounts from people who have been to "Pyramid" tapings seem to be that you 
shouldn't worry about how they handled the format, or about how Michael Strahan 
conducted himself.

I've already seen Wil Wheaton on Twitter campaigning to get a slot on the 
panel. But presumably it will be taped in New York, and the celebrities will be 
mostly New York-based and/or friends of Alec (thus, I think some of your names 
are more likely than others).

You don't think "Match Game" should be hosted by a lech who dabbles in acting?

(The joke being that that also describes Gene Rayburn.)
