Paging viewers of the TV program Canadian Idol

Is it just me, or is the host of Canadian Idol - Ben Mulroney getting on your nerves? Last night he was in particularly annoying form as he tried to ingratiate himself with all the female competitors. But he really came off like some sort of desperate guy with insecurity issues as he tried to show off his multi-lingual talents or acting like one of the home-boys. I have nothing personal against Ben, but I really think CTV messed up thinking he was a suitable host for the show. He's certainly capable, but he just tries too damned hard to be funny or clever - of which he is neither.

I tried to think of who I would pick to host the show. I'm still thinking.

Lets keep the suggestions purely Canadian...

My vote is for "Marg Princess Warrior" or even as a serious thought why not Cara Pifko or even Thomas Cavanagh! But if you want to draw in the young screaming girlies (like all idol shows are trying to do), maybe Brandon Fehr!! I could put in a word or two.

Last but not least... what about Tommy Chong? Does being on TV violate parole?
