Plus, Gibson is kind of wooden, kind of a Jennings-clone without any of Jennings's warmth or personality. If it has to be one of those two, I'd suggest Vargas. One of my friends says we should just hire actors to do the news. Personally, I think Seth McFarlane would do a GREAT job as a news anchor -- he has the look and the voice. As for CBS... (shrug) I don't think anyone cares. I don't think anyone's watching.
