How long will the guest hosts last?
According to the source website, an entertainment journal has been discussing WWE's Monday night Raw's guest host gimmick. It notes that the show has successfully become part of the "Talk show circuit", where celebreties come to promote future or current projects.
It acknowlodges that the WWE has gained itself mainstream publicity with this stunt, with people like Seth Green and Jeremy Piven already among the growing list of guest hosts.
Perhaps of more interest to wrestling fans, though, it says it is planned to last until earlier next year, perhaps through Wrestlemania 26, and it has attracted many major names. It even gives us a list of those who have been booked already. They include; Bob Barker, Al Sharpton, Nancy O'Dell, Floyd Mayweather and LeBron James.
Meanwhile, the article tells us that , Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, the Osbournes, Danny DeVito, Regis Philbin, Kelly Ripa, Jimmy Fallon, Rachael Ray, MC Hammer, Woody Harrelson, Serena Williams and Ashton Kutcher are all in talks to host.
Freddie Prinze, Jr. hosts Monday's edition.

Bob Barker ftw. Scratch off Al Sharpton and you've got a great line-up.

Aww heck no, I'm already fed up with the guest host situation.
Just employ someone as a G.M and get some real creativity going. Once more I am tempted to stop watching Raw and focus on the better shows, I.E Smackdown and TNA Impact!
