No more talking heads: Best Week Ever is now Paul F. Tompkins' show

Paul F. TompkinsA lot of us over here at the Squad are fans of VH1's Best Week Ever. We're either fans of the comedians who are asked to be pop-culture wise-asses, or we just like the format in general. Heck, we even like the website, mainly because it has the same attitude as the show.

Last year, when he hosted America's Got Talent, Regis Philbin was following a schedule that would tire out just about anyone, much less a 76-year-old (who, I must admit, is probably in much better physical shape than people half his age). Every week, he did his show with Kelly Ripa from his New York home base, then fly out to L.A. to do the weekend installments of Talent. That's a lot of flying, even if it's all in first class.

But no more. There were rumors floating around that Philbin wouldn't host the second season of the Simon Cowell-produced Talent, and those were confirmed today when schlockmeister and Dancing with the Stars reject Jerry Springer was named the show's host.
