The Nightly News recently debuted Michael Douglas as its official announcer, and Anderson Cooper says the whole thing was his idea first. He's on a search for a new announcer that has apparently spanned some six months of indecision. So I'm offering the services of our esteemed blog readers to offer some real suggestions.

1. Bill Clinton, former president
Nothing beats this voice. It works for serious stories, brights, scandal. Anything.

2. Bob Barker, retired game show host
They might be able to get him if the price is right. (I know, I know.)

3. Rosie O'Donnell, celebrity know-it-all
Anything she says is interesting. And it seems, anything she says is news.

4. Regis Philbin, talk show host
Can you say Anderson Coopa? It worked for Millionaire.

5. William Shatner, actor
He's known for what he says: "Denny Crane!"

Feel free to add your own in the comments. I'm sure Anderson reads this blog. Doesn't everyone?
