You did say one week, right? So I included Sat. & Sun. I don’t watch talk shows much. Are they not on during the weekend?

I wish I could do this. :slight_smile:

I don’t have to pay for damage to the set, right?

I’d take over for Colin Quinn, and fire everyone on that pathetic show.

I wouldn’t take over an exisitng talkshow, I’d have my own format of course :stuck_out_tongue:

Monday: Cameron Diaz, Stephen Hawking, Leann Rimes
Tuesday: Kristin Kreuk, George Clooney, Nena
Wednesday: Denise Richards, Arnold Schwarzenegger, T.A.T.U.
Thursday: Meg Ryan, Udo Kier, Shania Twain

Damn it, Ethilrist, I wanted to have George W. Bush on my show exclusively! How dare you invite him before me and on a friday too! (Gosh, I need to type faster; damnation!)

Denis Leary would be my week-long co-host.

Dave Attell would definetly be one of the guests, to both do stand-up and pimp Insomniac.

Ben Folds would be my Paul Shaffer.

As for other guests, I’d go with Hunter S. Thompson, Chuck Palahniuk, Barry Zito, Kirsten Dunst, Kevin Smith, Keifer Sutherland. I think that could fill a week.

Replacing Dave for a week… okay here’s the lineup (my format)

Friday - Bill Clinton, Susan Sarandon, U2
Saturday - Sean Penn, Maria Bartiromo (sp?), Lenny Kravitz
Sunday - David Duchovny, Gillian Anderson, Alicia Keys

I’ll give Dave another case of shingles…As well as pulling Anton out from behind those drums.

I’d have to ask Sid McGinnis,and Will Lee if they played for Barry Manilow
