re: Tonys host

The Bonnie Franklin year makes me break out in a cold sweat when I think of it...... which isn't often, thanks for reminding me re: Tonys host

re: Tonys host

I think the person should definitely be from the 'theatre world'. I would love it if Hugh came back, but I doubt that would happen. It's pretty unusual for a host to come back two straight years, but three?

re: Tonys host

I think it would be great if Jennifer and Kristin did it together, but that won't happen, because the ratings would be so low
(Middle-Americans: Who are they?
Middle-American Broadway fanatics: They're from Wicked.
Middle-Americans: Oh. (slight pause) What's Wicked?
Middle American Broadway fanatics: It's a show on Broadway.
Middle-Americans: Oh. (Slight pause) What are we watching again?
Middle American Broadway fanatics: The Tony Awards.
Middle Americans: The Tony Awards? What are they? Isn't there a game on, or something?)

Now, I have to say, last years Tony's were the best I had ever seen in the many years I've seen them, and right now, at this point, the only way the rest of America is going to watch them is if Christina Applegate co-hosts with Hugh Jackman as the return host.
"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.

I vote for Dame Edna and Harvey Fierstein. What a combo that would be--and Middle AMerica would never be the same!

Do Middle America watch the Tonys? One in every village maybe, but the rest?

re: Tonys host

Bad ratings or no, I'm pretty sure someone in the "boondocks" must be watching the Tonys in order for it to get the number of viewers it does.

re: Tonys host

I am really anxious to find out...

But more so - I want to know whay day the Tony's will be! I get tickets to the Tony's, but was told to hold on because CBS wasn't sure when (or if, for that matter) the Tony's will be...

NO brooke shields...

Maybe a group of AQ people...

Call this idea stupid, but I think it would be cool to have the Best Actor and Best Actress Tony winners come back the following year to host....

They are always the first Sunday in June (or at least have been for many many years) -- that would mean June 5th this year.

re: Tonys host

My top picks:
Harvey Fierstein-
The man is a shoo in he has:
La Cage
And is in Fiddler.
He hosted the DD'S last year and was the greatest host i have ever seen. HE WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY.
Second choice would be Dame Edna. It would also be funny.
Billy always does the Oscars and he would be fun but i would rather see Harvey and or Dame Edna. Neither has hosted the Tonys have they?
Rod would also make a great host. re: Tonys host
