Craig Norris from CBC Radio 3 notes on the Radio 3 blog that much hoopla has been made of CBC Television’s decision to simulcast the American version of The One, an American Idol knock-off, throughout the summer.
     ”Yes, everyone’s pissed off. We’re all missing a much more serious topic, though; Who will host the damned thing?”
     Good point. Will Ralph Benmergui be back? I think Adrienne Clarkson’s probably looking for a gig. Maybe we can coax Ben Mulroney over to our side with promises of, uh, free stickers. Oh, and a free coffee mug! I can’t imagine that would happen. Then again, stranger things have happened.
     Anyway, on Craig’s Radio 3 show tomorrow at midnight (it airs on CBC Radio Two — don’t ask), he’ll explore some options for the CBC.

So, who do you think should host The Canadian One? Add your comment to CBC Radio 3’s blog.
