5. Monty Richardson (as played by Henry Winkler) or Bill Bittinger (as played by Dabney Coleman)
Edited on Sun Oct-21-07 11:15 PM by IanDB1
Monty Richardson is a Conservative talk-show host, a la Rush Limbaugh. His family, however, are rather liberal, including his son's radically left-wing girlfriend. The comedy starts as they try to resolve their differences.

Bill Bittinger is the egotistical host of a local daytime talk show on WBFL in Buffalo, NY., unhappy at being a big fish in a small pond (but unable to break into the big leagues). Bill makes life miserable for his crew, guests, and especially his station manager, Karl Shub, who is constantly dodging lawsuits resulting from Bill's behavior. The one person Bill is unable to bully is his director and on again/off again lover, Jo Jo White.

10. A second for Ermey...and here's why.
If you watched Full Metal Jacket you know the gloriously embelleshed obscenity he engaged in while berating Private Gomer Pyle. Unfortunate results in that fictional story for him, but in real life he survived.

Well, it's been a fact that's ignored for a while, but FCC rules say that speech in paid political commercials are to be broadcast without censorship. Imagine what Ermey could say!

And I've got a heads-up for you. However the Colbert candidacy goes - I think he might be able to do a "limited hangout" route as a Favorite Son candidate - he will be able to continue his "campaign" on his show and effectively mock whoever runs for whichever party. My guess is he'll save his fire for the Republican candidate, in the same manner of his Press Correspondents Dinner speech. Which is something that no "comedian candidate" has ever done - not Pat Paulsen, not Jackie Vernon, not any of htose bums.
