The impression I got of Alex (who seemed to like me; YMMV) during the Q and
A stuff with the audience was that, if he was asked a question he liked
(something he hadn't been asked a lot or about his interests, charity work,
etc.), he was personable and charming. If he was asked something he'd been
asked a million times ("Do you really know all the answers?"), he could be
something of a dick.
KO's not a bad choice, but I'd think he's too polarizing. Snuffleupagus
seems like too much of a lightweight, and I find Cooper to be just
bland--and polarizing (and also someone who'd probably rather not leave New
York). I'd expect to either see Ken Jennings or a woman.(If this were
thirty years ago, I'd go with someone like Linda Ellerbee,)
