Rosie hosting TONYs? — Page 3

I think Martin Short would be a great host. And I'll produce the damn thing. Seriously, after last year, its gonna take a LOT for me to be satisfied this year. Like I want Jerry Herman pictures taped to all the spinny things.

Ok, jk, but still, I had better be really satisfied. Or else, or else, or else I'LL BITCH!

Ok, I got nothing.

Her openings were campy and wonderful!

She actually seems EXCITED to host the show! And it is genuine. She has never done anything for Broadway but promote and support it. She deserves your respect for that sliver of her life if nothing else.

Now that she is hosting The View, all the Mommy's are watching her again. If she hosts the Tonys and keeps having shows perform on The View, CBS will have the highest ratings they have had for the show in many years.

The also need to get a good writer. Hugh Jackman was an okay host but his openings were pretty lame. The One Night Only opening was as about exciting and entertaining as watching a snail cross a sidewalk. You could tell they were trying, but not really succeeding.

I love how people hate Rosie for speaking her mind...
How is it when a man does it, he's considered bold...
Yet when a woman does it, she's a bitch?

Rosie and Trump performing Peas in a Pod at The Tonys. Now that'd be interesting.
I think that Rosie, a great friend to the theter, should be able to host the Tonys again. She certainly can't sing, but her personality and comic timing would add to the telecast.
Harvey has been wonderful at The Drama Desk Awards, so he might be a good choice as well.

Can you imagine Rosie and Trump singing "Bosom Buddies"? Ha!

On a side note, I haven't enjoyed the Tony's as much since Rosie stopped being host. I HATED not having a host at all and I was not amused by Hugh Jackman.

I heart Rosie. (But Harvey would be fun, too.)

Harvey is the best host the Drama Desk ever had. Well, I am biased. It was my suggestion to get him as host. Hope he comes back again this year. I adore him. He is funny.

The writing was a little lacking, but the "One Night Only" opening number was BRILLIANT. I thought it was so stunning.


And I think there's a very, very good chance that they will ask Rosie to host the Tonys this year. It's obvious.

She's made, for lack of a better word, a "comeback" of sorts. The American public seems to have welcomed her back into their daily lives. She made THE VIEW from something that was doing okay to a huge hit - the ratings instantly went up 50% when Rosie joined the show.

That's huge. So as much as all of you want to say that you hate her (for no good reason), she's a HUGE draw right now, and if she can bring THE VIEW's ratings up 50%, surely she can do something with the Tony Awards. And that's exactly what the tonys need this year - ratings.

They will ask her, and I have a feeling she will accept.

No Hugh. They won't have Bette or Megan...I say Rosie or Martin Short. They will have someone who has helped the broadway community or recently done something...each have a big name...I think either of them would be wonderful.

They do need a host last year...the no host crap was boring.

I loved One Night Only.

I agree that Seth would be great, but he's not tooo big of a name.

Does Seth have a podcast?

Bring back Rosie! She brought Broadway to daytime TV with her 1st show and the View.

Last week, or the week before, The View had the highest ratings it has had in the past 3 years.

i think Martin Short seems like an awesome choice

With Ellen hosting the Oscars, get Melissa Ethridge to host the Grammy's, Rosie for the Tony's, and Lily Tomlin for the Emmy's and 2007 will be the year of the Lesbian Host.
