[quote name=\'Jimmy Owen\' date=\'Apr 26 2004, 06:34 PM\'] Isn't it interesting that to get a gig hosting these days you have to be notori....I mean have some notoriety (Monica L., Evan M, Darva...) [/quote]
Not so much interesting, but yet bound to happen...
The trickle down theory of reality show contestants as D list celebs began with Survivor...once it became an immediate hit, talent agencies started scooping them up....
First it was movie and tv acting careers...remember Colleen Haskell costarring with Rob Schnieder in "The Animal" ?
Then it was guest star/cameos..... like Big Brother winners occupying squares on "Hollywood Squares"
Now, they've realized what a vast cable universe they have to play with, and so they're finding niche shows for them to guest star/host on....GSN, Lifetime... Hell, Rachel Campos , formerly of "Real World" almost got the co=host gig on "The View"...and Kit Hoover of "Road Rules" is fumbling her way through ESPN's "Cold Pizza" and that anchor reality show who's name i've already forgotten...
It's the wave of the future, and the fast forwarding of the dumbing down of America.
