I’m definitely checking this out….Eddie Izzard is hysterical! Wonder if he’ll go as an “executive transvestite.”
I love Eddie Izzard. Nuff said.
Finally, an award’s show I’ll watch.
Honestly, I don’t think there is anyone around who’d do a better job hosting than Eddie Izzard; the man is endlessly funny and charismatic and I doubt he’ll try as hard as Gervais or Jackman or Harris who, despite heaps of talent, came across as desperate on occasion.
PLUS — they’ll be shown live and uncut — Eddie Izzard uncensored!! YEAH!!!
Reepicheep!
