It depends how early we're talking about him hosting. If he's just doing the MC'ing for all the performers way earlier in the day, then I'm fine with it. But if they're mixing him in with actual commentators doing any type of pre-game analysis(which I doubt), then I will laugh my ass off.

I don't know why you call him gay, he's just packaged by media executives in such a way as to appeal to a wide audience. He's hosting because they want to attract other demographics to the big show and sell more commercial space for the ridiculous rates they sell for during the game.

About as funny as the Holocaust.

Do people actually like this guy?

Well Merv Griffin really did.

And that answers both your questions.

Why would he be hosting the pre-game show?
I really don't see ryan seacrest knowing alot about football,
Plus i hate the guy. Why would they want to ruin a perfectly good pre game show? i just want to see Boomer!

To make the Pregame show more manly, they should hire Chuck Norris!

I have a feeling it may just be for the pre-pre-game show, ie all the music and festivities they have over the course of the day before everything gets going. At least this better just be what it is. If he is anywhere near any NFL analysts when theyre breaking down the matchups, I will be one unhappy Saintey.

your batting percentage is low... very low.. enough with the 'comic' relief every thread.. you aren't that good at it... the homo-erotic double entendre thing may be your waterloo.. please let it be so.

Disgraceful.

The NFL was pretty much "The Alamo" when it came to fending off any hint of gayness and now we have this.

Wow, what a super-overexaggeration. He doesn't even compare to genocide. Ryan Seacrest is like vanilla ice cream. Good enough for a lot of people but leaves many wanting less generic offerings.
