Hula Boy's Best and Worst Five Television Personalities

WORST Television Personalities

I'm not gonna lie, I used some of these spots to simply showcase YouTube videos that I wanted to put up.

5. Rosie O'Donnell
Who's excited for Rosie Live!! I can't wait!

4. Pat Sajak
There are few people as boring as Pat Sajak. And who aspires to be a game show host? You know what, I really like watching people try and guess letters, I should try and host that show. And how do these shows last for so long. Wheel of Fortune has got to be the most boring show ever (the perfect complement to Pat Sajak), yet the show has been on longer than I've been alive. How is this fair when shows like Pushing Daisies get canceled after one and a half years.

3. Emmitt Smith
Emmitt Smith has a very poor command of English grammar and a very limited vocabulary, while barely being able to speak English. Who thought that he would make a great television analyst? This clip is hilarious...


2. Keith Olbermann
is an @sshole.

1. Carson Daly
I'm not sure anyone was born with less talent than Carson Daly. Yet somehow his charisma sparked the phenomenon that was Total Request Live. This eventually led to him getting his own late night talk show, that continually gets pushed back later and later into the night. Before you know it Carson Daly will be on at 4 am, where it rightfully belongs.

Close calls: Mark Walberg, Tom Berenger, Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Probst, the guy that hosts The Amazing Race, Al Roker, Martha Stewart

BEST Five Television Personalities

5. Mister Rogers
Mister Rogers made my childhood. He is the reason that I decided to spend my time in Pittsburgh. He is the reason that I can tie my shoe. When growing up we had a next door neighbor named Mr. Rogers. Up until the age of eight, I thought that he was Mister Rogers. Much to my dismay when I finally saw his face (think Home Improvement) I was completely blown to find out that it was not the real Mister Rogers.


4. John Madden
John Madden belongs in the Unintentional Comedy's Hall of Fame. The following video is great, I'm not sure what is better, his discussion on The Incredible Hulk or Super Mario.


3. Sarah Silverman
I like Sarah Silverman. I like Jimmy Kimmel. I feel that Jimmy Kimmel gets a bad rap, and while he doesn't belong on this list, I felt like this was an appropriate place to defend his comedic abilities.


2. Gordon Ramsey
I'm currently addicted to Gordon Ramsey. He has the best two reality shows on television, Hell's Kitchen and Kitchen Nightmares, both of which solely work because of his presence. I don't think any other individual could carry two television programs.

1. Alex Trebek
How could it not, the man is brilliant, he knows all. I mean how many questions has he read over the past 42 years? One of the coolest moments was when I got to sit in the studio of a Jeopardy program. I got to fully witness the genius that is Trebek.

Close calls: Donald Trump's hair, Howie Mandel's hair, Bob Ross, Conan O'Brien, Mo Racca, Elizabeth Hasselbeck
