YAY!

Yeah, that would go over reall well with Ma and Pa Kettle.

So, I will third **Ellen Degeneres** and watch the Ultra Right faint about how those gays are taking over everything.

Didn’t Conan just host something, and do a great job at it? Or did I dream it? Anyway, I think he’d be great.

I think John Cleese would be a good choice, as well. Considering that this is an international awards show, you’d think the host would occasionally be someone from another country.

Dana Carvey might be able to do it.
