People We Want to See On TV

Sick of the “Oprah” and “The View”? We understand. How are the younger generations supposed to relate to these menopausal chicks? We need more younger voices on the boob tube, and fewer daytime specials on cheating husbands, home décor, and car accident victims. Here are some people we’d like to see on TV this summer:

1. Katy Perry and Russell Brand: We want to see these lovebirds in different locales each day—and we really want to see an episode about their weird wedding. It doesn’t matter where they broadcast from as long as Katy Perry’s wearing that cupcake bikini top and Russell Brand's telling dirty jokes.

2. Robert Pattinson: Even though he was actually pretty funny on Jimmy Kimmel’s Eclipse Special, we don’t think Rob’s talk show would need a traditional opening monologue. In fact, we don’t think he should speak at all. We’d love to just watch his beauty while he does everyday things like sleep, adjust his boxers, brush his teeth, hang out with teen idols, and drive a car. (We can only pray that when he's in the U.S., he remembers to drive on the right side of the road.)

3. SparkLife Hour: Not to brag or anything, but don’t you think your favorite SparkLife writers would write a totally Emmy award-winning talk show? Plus, aren’t you curious to see what we look like? Before we make it to the small screen, we’ll probably need to hit the gym, tweeze our unibrows, and stop hunching over our keyboards eating Snickers.

4. I Actually Am Smarter than a PhD: This show would star a genius teenager with little to no social graces. Each week, teens would call up, ask for advice, and try to stump the teenage Einstein with trivia. When he’s not fielding calls from viewers, we’d like to see the teen genius do everyday things teens do, like go to dances, go bowling, ride the school bus, and play soccer—demonstrating, in the process, that even brilliant people can occasionally be totally stupid.

5. The Twitter Whale: The only thing “cute” about not being able to stalk Tina Fey’s Twitter page is that adorable whale. We don’t need a TV show centering on the Twitterverse (Conan had a Twitter segment, and look how that ended…) but we’d like to see the Twitter whale host a news hour with society’s biggest newsmakers...like the guy on a 30-day pizza diet who's actually not getting fat.
