Harry Shearer: Voting the other pundits off the island

Tonight I'm Gonna Rock You.jpgComedian/musician/man-of-many-voices Harry Shearer adds his two cents to the network news punditry via his syndicated public radio show, Le Show, with a reality-inspired vision for “America’s Next News Anchor”:

Triumph! Heartbreak! Headlines delivered from a tank full of maggots!…It all leads up to the final heart-stopping championship episode, where two finalists try to anchor live coverage of the Pope’s funeral! And every week, it’s your vote that decides who stays – and who has to take the long walk out through local news.

Come for the 3-minute clip; stay for the Simpsons audio downloads (“Release the robotic Richard Simmons!”).
