I like the idea of LeVar Burton, but given his age, I understand if the show would prefer somebody who can potentially be in it for the long term.

The original source of this story was American Media, Inc. (i.e. the company that owns the National Enquirer).

Ergo: massive amount of salt.

doesn't that depend on where in Germany? Is the base considered American soil, like an embassy would be?

No, military bases are not sovereign soil.

He's an American born to two Americans. "Foreign-born" is a meaningless distinction in this case.

LeVar would be interesting. He's a good trivia player as well, having won on both J! and The Weakest Link. I'm down with that.

[triviawayne]

Pat Kiernan gets my vote

gene simmons should get some consideration as well as kareem abdul jabbar

[hbomb1947]

Yeah, a host who's 62 would be a great way to attract a younger viewing demographic.

Didn't Alex suggest Laura Coates? That hits two of the three characteristics: female, non-white. Also younger than Ball, eve if not a 20-something.

No no, it's gonna be Oprah. She'll take 6 minutes to read each clue.
