Who should replace Oprah Winfrey?
You’ve seen these lists until your eyeballs have fallen out
of your heads. Well, put them back in. We have a brand-new list for you. Not
the usual names here — Ellen DeGeneres, Judge Judy, whomever — but the unusual
names.
The names no one expects. Let the spitballing begin with …
Paula Abdul — who actually thinks she’d be a peachy O replacement.
She recently told Extra: “I feel I
would be really good at it. I have the ability to connect with people on a
level. … I’ve proven to pierce the heartstrings.” Pierce the
heartstrings? What is a heartstring, and how do you skewer it?
Randy Jackson — If Paula, why not Randy? He knows how to
pierce heartstrings, too.
Jenna Jameson — “Most downloaded person on the
Internet” … but can she talk?
Megan Fox — Second most downloaded … but can she act? I
mean … talk?
Katie Featherston — Ghosts followed her on Paranormal
Activity. A brand-new talk show
demographic, perhaps?
Morena Baccarin — Plays Anna, boss of the Visitors, on V and has great face for TV — we know because it
filled the underside of a space ship half as big as Manhattan.
David Letterman — He even suggested this on the air,
recently saying, “I’m taking over for Oprah. … Tony Danza will replace
me.”
