When we woke up this morning, there were two things we wanted to see via the power of online video: Tina Fey's triumphant and overdue return to SNL and Marion Cotillard in that fabulous dress at last night's Oscars. And then we remembered the time-honored lesson taught to us by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups: when you've got two great things, the best option is always to mix them. Hence: our call for Tina Fey and Marion Cotillard to fall in love and begin breeding immediately.
But if we can't get that, how about if Tina hosts next year's Academy Awards?
Now, let's be clear about one thing: we love us some Jon Stewart. And we bet you do, too. We could go on about how much we all love him, 'cause we all do, but we won't, 'cause we all know why we love him, so let's just agree that this isn't about him and move along.
What's it about then? Well:
-- Besides being bright and funny herself, Tina's already got a staff of great writers and actors to bring on board and lend a hand, just like Jon Stewart, Ellen DeGeneres, etc.
-- We know from Weekend Update that she's able to look directly into the camera and be both charming and derisive, skills that the job relies upon.
-- Since she's already won a number of awards for 30 Rock and SNL, we also know that she's got no problem handling the hardware.
-- Oh, and she's hot. You knew that, right?
-- Isn't it time to identify a third female host? There seem
to be three viable guy hosts these days -- Stewart, Steve Martin,
and King William the Crystal, who could always make a return visit. Maybe Ellen and Whoopi
could get another gal in the rotation, too?
-- We're just at the end of Tina's big arrival moment, don't you think? How about something to cap it off?
-- We'd really like to see what Frank's hat would say if he made an appearance. Our guess is "Not Bruce Vilanch."
It's a good idea, right? So, what do we do to make it happen? No idea. Best guess would be to start by submitting this article to Digg, Delicious and Reddit using those links below. Once we get take the Internet by storm, the actual world will be child's play. (That's how it worked in The Lawnmower Man, anyway.)
So start Digging this article right now! And hey -- even if you don't agree with us, don't do it for us, or for Tina (who probably doesn't even want to host the show). Do it for Tracy Morgan -- it's probably the only way he'll ever get past security.
Let's change the world, one bloated, ostentatious awards show at a time!
