I can't believe I didn't write about this first because it has been a CONSTANT and very VOCAL opinion of mine for quite some time now. Why in a country of 300 million can we not find Americans to host, judge or conduct our competition, talk and/or awards shows? For example, look at the judges on Dancing with the Stars and America's Got Talent-two of three are British! Until recently you had Simon on American Idol. Piers Morgan was given the time slot on CNN to replace the retiring Larry King and Ricky Gervais* hosted the Golden Globes the other night! We've had the BBC all over PBS and NPR for years as narrators, commentators and "experts" regarding our own history and politics!!!
Come on Americans, our country was built on a "can-do" attitude and who should know ourselves better?! Now get off your asses, or go read, listen and experience AMERICA so we won't have to constantly be judged by outsiders...
*Funny thing is that Ricky's terrific British sense of humor and candor at the 2011 Golden Globes may be the thing and may keep more British away. This is brilliant and what I wish would be more accepting in American media-blunt honesty and rawness!!! These are jokes people...jokes! You are only bothered by them because they might be true, ARE true or "not nice". Blow it out yer tweet!
MMA, musings and MAYHEM!!! You never know what you're going to get! One day its political commentary, another it's all about music, or comics, or civic duties! (We said duties...)
