Ryan Seacrest To Bore Us At The Emmys

Hear that? That's the scraping going on at the bottom of the host barrel. Ryan Seacrest is slated to host the Emmys this go-round. Seriously, awards shows are boring enough but get someone halfway talented or even halfway crazy to entertain us. This guy is toast with blonde highlights. He's one of the reasons I don't watch "Idol". Unless he's going to give a talk about beard selection, I'm over it.

On the heels of landing the job to host the Super Bowl pre-game show, the hardest working man in show business has also been tapped to emcee the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, it was announced Monday.

"Ryan Seacrest appeals to a broad audience, including the highly desirable young adult demographic, so he should serve as a magnet for attracting a diverse array of viewers to our Emmy telecast," said Dick Askin, chairman and chief executive officer of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.


Ugh. America, really? Is that how it is? Howabout a succession of hosts during the nineteen hour show? All famous - one full-out freak, one obvious junkie, someone hot (Joey Fatone), someone beautiful and elegant, and Madame, the puppet. That I would watch. Tra up or something and stop trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator - some cat owning virgin in Des Moines with an American Idol screensaver. Why is she running the world?
