More like Eat Prey Love.
Variety reports today that the Sundance Channel's interview series Iconoclasts, which pairs one famous and (supposedly) interesting person up with another famous and (hopefully!) interesting person so they'll talk to each other and explore ideas and stuff, has been renewed for a fifth season.
The show has already sported some odd but inspired duets. Dave Chappelle talked race, struggle, and comedy with Maya Angelou. Madeline Albright sat down with Ashley Judd to... um... school her in actual double jeopardy laws? We're actually not sure about that one. Anyway! With a fifth season coming down the pipeline, the time is now to start planning those potentially awkward, potentially awesome couplings. Who would you like to see together?
We're thinking maybe Elizabeth Gilbert, rich lady adventurer turned best-selling "Eat Pray Love" authoress turned Oprah-endorsed lifestyle guru, and maybe someone a bit more... cynical. Perhaps Bill "War on Christmas" O'Reilly with faithless archnemesis Christopher Hitchens? Or what about snark-addled, eternally skeptical Janeane Garofalo? Not that we're actively hoping for discord on the show. It's just that it could be interesting to see people with opposing ideologies come together to talk turkey and, hopefully, find some common ground.
That said, Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins tag-teaming Elisabeth Hasselbeck is totally a lock for this season, right Sundance?
For culinary moments Gordon Ramsey with Marco Pierre White.
How about Iconoclasts with fictional characters instead of actual people: Leroy Jethro Gibbs & Michael Weston, Dr. Gregory House & Dr. Jack Gallagher, Patrick Jane & Shawn Spencer?
I would watch this show if they put on anyone with a brain cell versus Janeane Garofalo. She always has something to say and is on top of the conversation, no matter what show I've seen her on. Why isn't she a talking head? The left needs her to be visible and outraged and hilarious.
Along the same lines as Sundance's Season 4 pairing of Cameron Diaz (Actress) + Cameron Sinclair (Architect), I propose some Season 5 pairings:Rachel Maddow + Rachel Zoe; Michelle Malkin + John Malkovitch; Sean Hannity + Sean Combs. And for Season 6, Iconoclasts: Doubles...Alan Greenspan and Andrea Mitchell + Posh and Becks;Philip Glass and Joanne Akalaitis + Tori and Dean;The Coen Brothers + The Manzo Sister.
I would love to see Susan Sarandon and Tim Robbins..........Wow what a show that would be.
What would Miss Tinsley watch?
Charles Barkley and Bjork, i'd like to see that
Celebrity Deathmatch, anyone?
Also, I would like to watch the Pus*y Cat Dolls meet everyone who has ever been on any Tila Tequila show. I would watch it without sound though.
Miley Cyrus and Cat Power sipping frozen hot chocolates at Serendipity could work!
I remember seeing a promo for this featuring the Madeline Albright-Ashley Judd pairing and laughing out loud. But it doesn't necessarily need to be ridiculous. You get a Judd in there with diplomatic chops like Wynonna, our ambassador to Tennessee, and you've really got something.
