It's the Father Ted debate all over again...

Pierce Brosnan as:

No, he's from Drogheda, which is in the Republic 

Sean Connery can play Deadman.

Having watched many, many Brosnan films, I can vouch for the fact he’ll attempt any accent the script calls for, whether he can do it or not. To the point where even his Irish accent now seems mangled.

Who Doctor Fate is under the helmet is often superfluous to the roles he plays in DC stories and his effect on other characters. Just as long as they can sound authoritative and mystical. In the animated series Justice League and Justice League Unlimited, for example, he was well-played by Israeli actor Oded Fehr…

It’s a Colonel Sanders goatee but the handlebars are all Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp.

He's not British, he was born Irish and gained American citizenship in the early 2000s

Surely Brosnan will just play Kent Nelson as not-American, right? I don’t think anyone needs to pretend any role played by Pierce Brosnan, one of the most famous Irish actors, is American. I mean, that’s like 80% of his charm, right?

As long as we’re casting ex-007s to play superheros, I’d love to see like Daniel Craig as Jason Blood/Etrigan.

I mean - COVID did originate in China. I am totally disgusted with Trump and the right’s weaponization of the virus as some kind of excuse for promoting racism and bigotry. But I think it’s also important that it’s not lost that the Chinese government hid and obfuscated the magnitude of the virus for weeks both from…

I know many people often say that apologies don’t matter, or that they’re usually too late, but this was a very well-written and seemingly genuine one. This is about the best anybody can do who has said something hurtful in the past.

Good.

Now that’s a show with Dr. Oz that I would watch!

Where do I submit my list of alternative guest hosts for Sony’s consideration?

Ken Jennings has negative charisma. That he would even be considered is insane to me. The only way to make Ken Jennings seem watchable is to put him next to James Holzhauer, who might be the least charismatic person ever to grace the small screen. 

Yes.

The week hosted by Rudy Giuliani is gonna be rough.

Dr. Oz laughs while saying his “harshest critic” is his wife. Considering all of the above, we sort of hope that isn’t still true.

Can we also say that Ken Jennings was annoying as shit? Like, he tried, but he couldn’t resist occasionally showing off how smart he was, which Alex would have never done.
