"Face To Face" Betting Pool

Post by Killingsworth »

I just had this idea to start up a new game on this forum where we try to guess who Al will be "interviewing" on his new Nerdist web series "Face To Face". Here's how this will work: anyone who wishes to participate will post ten guesses as to who will be interviewed in this thread (since Al said on facebook and the mothership that he filmed ten episodes so far) and each correct guess will be worth ten points. Whoever racks up the most points wins the game. Well, they don't really "win" anything but a sense of smug superiority...but still. This game is also based on the reasonable assumption that this new show will consist of AL-TV style "fake" edited interviews rather than real ones, but if you want to include anyone who you would just like to see Al actually interview in person, that's fine with me.

I'll get us started with my own entry...

Lady GaGa, Katy Perry, Rhianna, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Justin Beiber, Taylor Swift, Ke$ha, Miley Cyrus, Lea Michelle

Gary Coleman, Amelia Earhart, Anne Frank, Ruth Rutabaga, Whitney Houston, Whitney Houstin's crack pipe, the bathtub Whitney Houston fell into after doing too much crack and jumping off the roof of her hotel, Jesus Christ, and, of course, Helen Keller.

In order of preference from Killingsworth's list, Nicki Minaj, Ke$ha, Justin Bieber, Lada Gaga, Katy Perry all have a lot of potential. I'd add Kanye West and Jay-Z to that list. But I think I'll wait to see what the format of the show actually is before adding any more suggestions.

That's actually a good idea, Jon. If anyone else wants to get in on this, the deadline for suggestions will be April 4th. You can either submit 9 or 10 suggestions if you like, but I will allow anyone to retroactively get one point if they accurately guess who Al interviewed for Tuesdays show or just add that to their list.

Wow...those two interviews came a bit out of left field. Tell you what, why doesn't everybody add 10 more interviews to their list since there seem to be two per show?

I'd Love to see him interview Kevin Cable, that would be pretty fun. But I don't think there's interview clips of Kevin floating around on the interwebs.

I'd like to see Mr. Cable conduct his own interview where he edits clips in from Al's previous interviews with his own.
