What's wrong with you people? If you want a celebrity interviewer, why not Elle MacPherson or Christy Brinkley or nearly any beautiful woman with a brain...
1) Those two qualifications hardly belong together. (Especially not in the selection pool we could actually afford)

2) We weren't asking for an interviewer, we were asking for a narrator. Have you ever heard Tom Hanks or Morgan Freeman as a narrator? Both are really good, the later is one of the best IMO.

3) Since brains aren't really required for either narrator or interviewer to read from a script. If we're going for beautiful woman to be seen on screen, I'd rather go for someone a little younger. Not saying that they weren't good looking in their prime, but honestly they are a little past that at this point. We need a younger face to draw in the younger crowd.

My credo
Toonces drives a Ranger . . . . just not very well.
I'd rather have Morgan Freeman.

Morgan Freeman would work, and maybe cheaper, too.

I don't think Walter Cronkite does side gigs anymore . . .

I've been a member for 13 years. Joined when I bought my first BII. I have three now and one Ranger. I lost two other BIIs to rust but their parts live on.

My credo
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are different.
If we’re going to go with people like that, membership fees will have to increase 100-fold or more. How many of you making suggestion’s DON’T have the “supporting member” banner?

Its probably better to be self deprecating than self defecating.
Most of the members here seem to be either a 'dirty old dog' or a bit of a gorilla..

So David attenborough would be a solid pick for an interviewer I think.

Ooooh... you mean the Sam Elliot who killed Hitler and then Bigfoot in the major motion picture "The man who killed Hitler and then bigfoot"?

I can get behind that.
