Mob Regulars
After some thought, I've decided I don't mind the idea of Mob Regulars on 1 vs. 100. Seeing as most of the mob spots rotate per contestant there's no real harm in having 4 or 5 "paid" mob members playing for charity.
The problem I have is, with the notable exception of Oscar the Grouch, the Mob Regulars the show has hired are all obnoxious. The triplets are ditsy and have zero personality, the Tonight Show guy is an obnoxious stereotype, and I'm not sure if the other guy is really "America's Favorite Geek" -- but he's certainly the most annoying one.
I say keep Oscar (or rotate in other Muppets, a la '70s Hollywood Squares -- Big Bird, Ernie, etc.), add a comedian (who's taken over Kathy Griffin's spot in the D List these days?), and maybe someone who might actually provide some competition. I'd say for that last post Ken Jennings, but we've done that already. Thoughts?
