Ok, it seems that everyone and their dog is running for governor of California.  Now my question, which game show personality would you like to see running for governor?

I'd say Monty Hall.

SInce this is a pretty off-topic thread, I'll just interject here that I had this image watching Leno last night of Arnold Schwarzenegger, Arianna Huffington and Larry Flint squaring off in a debate -- and no one understanding anything any one of them said!
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

 I suggested this morning that the record for most times mispronouncing the word \"gubernatorial\" by actual gubernatorial candidates might be broken with this election. :)

actually, this is on topic. Arnold Scharzenegger is running for Calif. Governor. He was on the Dating Game, if you recall.

 Nah, Icey is busy with her new show \"Style Court\", oddly enough broadcast on style.

Love it!

I tell you what, if I was a Californian, I'd vote for that young girl who said, \"I've applied for every other kind of job, I might as well apply for this one.\"  From what I can tell, an underemployed twenty-something who knows absolutely NOTHING would be an improvement over what you've got now.

BTW, not only do we have Arnold as a Dating Game contestant, by Huffington has played a few games too, including some notoriously bad games of Pyramid, as I recall.

Heh heh heh.  I said \"recall\".

Huffington was also on Win Ben Stein's Money, plugging her book very hard but very briefly, as she was the first one off.

 Huffington was one of the celeb players on arguably the worst celeb J! weeks ever, DC Power Players week in 1997.

Or Peter Tomarken.

And now that Gary Coleman wants to be on the ballot, what about Emmanuel \"Webster\" Lewis for governor of Georgia (he currently resides in Atlanta)?

Y'know, w/his gigs on W!, Powerball IM, Hot Ticket, and NY's Blink 102.7, that might actually be next on his list... :-)

I believe he stopped co-hosting Hot Ticket a year ago.
