Awkward Celebrity-Anchor Pairings We'd Like to See
 

After Kathy Griffin made such an, achem, splash on CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast with Anderson Cooper, we started imagining other possible straight-laced-host-meets-wacky-celebrity pairings, all of which would surely spike ratings. Because as the saying goes: opposites attract audiences.

 


Celebrity/TV Host: Ann Coulter/Joy Behar

Event: Presidential inauguration

Oh, we couldn't resist. Even though Joy isn't a anchor per se, her opinions do get broadcast every day to millions of viewers tuned into The View. And if there is one thing Joy hates, it's blond, conservative co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck.

Joy has the seniority and chutzpah to push Hasselbeck around. Man-eater, Jew-"perfectionist" and liberal/woman-hater Ann Coulter wouldn't tolerate such abuse. And with the two of them standing on different ideological fields in the middle of the swarm during the presidential inauguration, we give the ladies 10 minutes before the live broadcast becomes nothing but a string of cursing and hair-pulling. ABC might get in trouble with the FCC, but that shit will have four million YouTube hits within the hour.

 


Celebrity/Anchor: Joe the Plumber/Michael Ware

Event: Israel and Hamas attacks on the Gaza Strip

Since Joe Wurzelbacher is going to Israel anyway, he might as well take along CNN's foreign correspondent Michael Ware. Ware could tell Joe all the horror stories about Baghdad and the painful ground conditions in Iraq, while Joe could teach Ware how to stretch out 15 minutes of fame into a full half-hour special. Then they could both commiserate on how hot Lara Logan is. Pshwing!

 


Celebrity/Anchor: Carlos Mencia/Rick Sanchez

Event: Senate immigration policy meeting

These two should be a match made in heaven. Rick Sanchez likes to bite sources off other people's Twitter and Myspace comments and call it news, and Carlos Mencia likes to bite off other comedians' jokes and call it original. Though we think Cuban-born Sanchez will get pretty fed up by the time Mencia makes his umpteenth "Mexicans are lazy" joke.

 


Celebrity/Anchor: Bill Maher/Bill O'Reilly

Event: Fox Christmas special

What happens when two of the biggest egos in television get together in one room to celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ for a 3 hour special? It's the ultimate fight as Maher spends 90 minutes ranting about America and religion and what's wrong with this country while Bill O'Reilly spends his time ranting about America and religion and what's wrong with this country. Finally the two men realize they might have something in common after all: they are both huge douchebags.

 


Celebrity/Anchor: Andy Dick/Wolf Blitzer

Event: White House press junkets

Sorry, don't have a good reason for this combo except I am already picturing the wacky sitcom scenarios that Any Dick and Wolf Blitzer would get themselves into. Like Gilligan and the Skipper, Abbot and Costello, Fresh Prince and Ferguson, this duo could do the straight man-fuck-up routine like nobody's business.

Here's a pitch: Late for a White House conference with the press secretary, Andy Dick tries to tinker with Wolf's teleportating hologram machine to get them there faster. Unfortunately, Dick, in his ADHD mania, presses the wrong button, and the two are transported back to colonial times! Will they ever make it home? Guaranteed laughs, A++
