Showing total disregard for what little credibility I have on TT: Seacrest may be a cheeseball, but he's prop a good fit for Talk Show Host.

He's self depricating enough, does well on his radio show, and vanilla enough to be palatable to the mainstream.

Responses:

He actually probably would be good. If he tried to do the Tonight Show or somethig like it, he'd have trouble with the monologue. - Jim Jan 21, 10:43 1
- To be fair, he wouldn't be writing it himself, he'd have help. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:50
it may make him palatable to a network but it doesn't make him good quality -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 21, 10:42 3
- As we can see by Leno's success, quality doesn't necessarily equate to success. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:43 2
  - But Leno knows how to pander to the lowest common denominator ... Seacrest is above that. - Beryllium Jan 21, 10:44 1
    - Thank you for that IM, I was so confuzzled. (nm) - musubi Jan 21, 10:45
Didn't Whoopi Goldberg have a shot at it once? -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 21, 10:41
I thought his morning drive time radio show was nationally syndicated. Or is it just local? -- nm - con_carne Jan 21, 10:41 1
- It's national. -- nm - Ender Jan 21, 10:43
if you're talking about The View, maybe, but not for late night. -- nm - znufrii Jan 21, 10:40
man, you are full of wrong today -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:39
disagree. he's a host, not a comedian. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:38 9
- Thus, good talk show host. - musubi Jan 21, 10:38 8
  - Charlie Rose's monologue is not funny at all. -- nm - When in Dano Jan 21, 10:40 2
    - says you. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 10:43
    - Heh. Exactly. So long as Seacrest knows to not try to follow the comedic formula, I can see him carving a niche as a Talk Show Host. - musubi Jan 21, 10:42
  - I saw his talk show. it was meh. -- nm - loosilu Jan 21, 10:40 3
    - Later with Bob Costas was great. - musubi Jan 21, 10:41 2
      - Word. -- nm - Jim Jan 21, 10:45
      - it was terrific. I still think about some things from it, and miss it. -- nm - b. Jan 21, 10:44
  - Joe Buck! -- nm - Beaker Jan 21, 10:39
