This fall, CBC TV hopes to launch a Canadian version of "The One: Making A Music Star". Much noise has been generated about its decision to simulcast the American version throughout the summer.

  • Yes, "The National" will be pre-empted on Tuesdays.
  • Yes, our public broadcaster is making some controversial moves.
  • Yes, everyone's pissed off.

We're all missing a much more serious topic, though; Who will host the damned thing?

On my show this Saturday, we explore some options for the CBC. If memory serves, there was even talk of re-animating deceased CBC celebs from yesteryear. Check it out Saturday at 12:00 AM ET on CBC Radio 2.

I should state for the record that having never seen the show, I don't even know if there is a host. But just for fun...

Alive or otherwise, who should host the Canadian version of "The One"?
