Posted: 3/14/11 at 11:46amI'd prefer the host to be someone who represents the Broadway community.

Youre right! We need someone who draws no audience for the show and who also represents the sanctity of the Awards and how easy it is to buy one.
So keep Kathy faaaaaaaaar away from that hosting job, please! God forbid people actually watch the show.

Posted: 3/14/11 at 12:18pmThey could guarantee the young audience, and steer more of that demographic to Bdwy in doing so, by having Daniel Radcliffe host.

Posted: 3/14/11 at 12:22pmI doubt that'll happen. Between H2$ and Harry Potter PR he just wouldn't have the time.

Posted: 3/14/11 at 1:11pmAh...I would love it. The fact is, if you loved her before, you will love her hosting the awards, if you hated her before, your just gonna bitch about her more...either way she wins haha

Kathy Griffin hosting the Tony Awards would get everyone talking (or bitching as is the norm on this board) about the show...
Who other than Kathy would tirelessly campaign and promote this hosting honor than the queen of media 'whoring'??
And... SHE'S funny!
I think she'd breathe much new life into an incredibly STALE awards show that is truly the highlight of something we all love...
So keep the dialogue going gang!
#16Kathy Griffin to Host the 2011 Tony Awards...If she's asked....
Posted: 3/14/11 at 1:51pmI think it'd be a great idea. The Tonys would be much more controversial and way funnier with a comedian like her.

Time to start a new thread....
Let's get insufferable bitch, Kathy Griffin, to star as an insufferable, spoiled, pretentious jerk character in RENT...
Producers... Think of the crossover potential!

People would bitch about the Tony host if Richard Rodgers himself rose from the dead to do the deed.
Personally, I see them trying to get Robin Williams, Chris Rock, Whoopi, or Bette Midler to host this year. They all have Broadway ties this year.

Robin Williams or Chris Rock would be fabulous.
NOT Kathy Griffen. Her sense of humor is 98% demeaning other people, which at a major awards show that's supposed to be applauding the accomplishments of theatre people, is just not appropriate.
Personally, I'd adore Robin Williams if he did it. He's just manic enough, he can sing if needed, and he's actually been in a running Bway show this season, not just an 8 night special engagement.

Posted: 3/14/11 at 2:50pmSee, I personally loath Robin Williams. I think that would polarize the audience too.

Posted: 3/14/11 at 2:50pmRobin Williams would be great....AND I have a feeling if Bengal Tiger goes over well, he will become an EGOT since all he needs is the Tony
#23Kathy Griffin to Host the 2011 Tony Awards...If she's asked....
Posted: 3/14/11 at 3:54pmSee, I think Robin Williams would be vastly more entertaining that that Griffin woman. That's why they make race horses I guess.

Get over yourselves.
Kathy Griffin would draw in much larger numbers then in past years. Yes Robin Williams is also an excellent choice, but he also must say he would do it.
