Guests for the Show

0  2014-07-14 by [deleted]

If you're not aware, Roland attempted to book The Situation today to come in on the end of the first show without Anthony. Not only is this terrible timing but I think it's also an incredibly poor choice of guest for the show when you think of all the people they could get.

These are (not in any order) the people that I want to be on the show:

  • Bill Hader
  • Sarah Silverman
  • Robin Williams
  • Zach Braff
  • Bill Maher
  • Jimmy Kimmel
  • Dave Chapelle
  • Chelsea Peretti
  • James Franco
  • John Goodman
  • Doug Benson
  • Jerry Seinfeld
  • Jon Stewart
  • Emma Watson
  • Bill Cosby
  • Sacha Baron Cohen
  • Eddie Izzard
  • Jimmy Carr
  • David Mitchell/Robert Webb
  • Simon Amstell
  • Josie Long

I understand some of these guests have very little chance of being on the show, but I've been surprised before by big names on the show before(Chris Rock, Bryan Cranston, Mark Wahlberg, etc.) and most of these are within the realm of possibility.

Apart from the people I've already named, who do you want to be on the show?

Zach Braff?

Yeah, I like him.

OK, Faggot. What's Next?

Doug Benson was on the show in 2009. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7oOm32opx4

Didn't know that, thanks for the sneaky link to one of your own videos.

So you noticed that? ;)

If they never had another guest I wouldn't bat an eye. They fucking suck at interviews. Keep booking comics and people that have been on the show before that do well like Anthony Bourdain. I don't need a c-list actor or reality tv nobody to plug their show since if I actually cared I'd already know about it.

I would love to see Chappelle on there though.

I actually agree with you, they are not great interviewers but occasionally they have good chemistry with some of the people that come on, especially comics - that's why most of the people I named are comedians.

Yeah, I'm kind of surprised that Chelsea Peretti hasn't been on the show considering her history with Jim.

Sarah Silverman is likely. She may have not done the show before because she's a hardcore liberal, and...Ant. I know Jim has mentioned he knows her well.

Robin Williams? Fuck him. He's not funny. He's a bore, and will just do the same routine he does when somebody bothers to have him on, the same impressions, the same jokes. He's as agonizing to endure as Billy Crystal - and there's another name that will never be on the show, thank god.

Bill Mahar doesn't really do shows. He doesn't need to.

Kimmel...maybe.

Chapelle will never happen.

Franco, I don't see why not, other than he doesn't seem to do a lot of press.

Goodman is a possibility, they could probably get him through Kevin Smith.

Seinfeld will NEVER happen.

Stewart will NEVER happen.

Emma Watson...maybe in a couple years. Her star is fading.

Cosby would be a miracle. Again, he doesn't seem to do a lot of PR, but he doesn't need to.

They've had Cohen. He stayed in character. That's what he does. He never goes on as himself.

Izzard has been on, I think?

The rest I've never heard of.

A man can dream, you say some of them will never happen but if they've got something to promote and are in the area then it's possible.

Robin Williams can actually be tolerable on occasion, I feel like it could go either way with him, if it goes badly I think it'd still be enjoyable.

Jim and Opie have met Cosby and got on with him, I know there's a big step in between talking to someone and getting them to come on the show but I can see him with a book out in a few years and wanting it to plug it.

I didn't know Cohen was on before, I'll look that up even though it would've been cooler if he had just come on as himself.

Bill Hader was a SNL cast member until last year, Zach Braff was J.D. on scrubs, Peretti is a female stand-up who used to date Jimmy, And all the names after Izzard(who hasn't been on...yet) are english stand-up comics.

Okay, terrific!

You have horrible taste in guests OP. People like you make me glad that people like Roland handle the booking.
