Oh good g-d, it’s considered weird to think Jane Weidlin’s hot? Even now, [she](http://www.google.com/search?q=jane+wiedlin&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-us:IE-SearchBox&prmd=imvnso&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=f4UMT7jfNO-ImQWd3ZmvBg&ved=0CEgQsAQ&biw=1240&bih=662) is smokin’ hot.

I seem to be seeing more agreement lately, but I always thought Melissa McCarthy was the hot one on Gilmore Girls. Something about her mischevious smile.

Whew! 😃

Clint Eastwood - 81  
William “Big Bill” Smith - 79  
Ed Harris - 62  
Jeff Bridges - 63  
Mikhail Baryshnikov - 64  
Richard Gere - 63  
Jim Palmer - 64  
Eric Clapton - 64  
Armand Assante - 60  
James Brolin - 69  
Scott Glenn - 68  
Fred Williamson - 74  
And with the exception of possibly Gere and Palmer, I wouldn’t classify these as “pretty boys” by a long shot. There’s just something about them.

For the record, I’m 50.

That’s because when I get dickish I get suspended. Sometimes at my own request–I think I invented the “ **Tuba** , can you suspend me for a while?” request.

Grant is hot. End of story.

My non-Mythbusters answer: [James May](http://uktv.co.uk/images/homepage/105573.jpg), from Top Gear. He’s awkward-looking and only slightly younger than my dad, but when he starts talking nerdy…yowza.

[Richard Hammond](http://www.tellygraph.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Richard-Hammond.jpg), from the same show, ain’t too shabby either, but he makes more sense as eye candy, so he doesn’t count.

Oh oh! I think I might win. I’ve been gaga over David Letterman since I was like 17. (He’s 65-ish now?) Obviously, I do not discriminate based on age. I mean aside from being smart and clever, I do honestly think he’s physically attractive.

There’s a hilarious bit when David Tennant comes onto Top Gear, and they’re like “You’re a good-looking version of the Hamster!”
