Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Seriously? You left out Ellen?

Hers and The Bonnie Hunt Show were the only ones I found to be at least bearable.

You're all pathetic.

Let an ex-Marine and extreme vocal medicinal marijuana activist be last on the list...

Sad

Oprah is an ex-Marine?
Anyway, my vote is for him (Montel) as well, mostly due to the fact that my family got flown out to New York since my Dad and his brother were going to be on the show. I was on TV as an audience member for a few frames! Haha.

There are 10 types of people in this world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.

I have to go with old school Jerry Springer. Back when they showed violence on the show. I still remember people in college scheduling their classes around his show....I never heard of people changing anything to watch Ellen's show...

How can you seriously consider hosts that pay their audiences to be there, ie: Oprah, Ellen, etc.

They are all crap! I'd rather watch a Woot-off than a daytime talk show...
