Was Really Funny, Then Wasn't, Now It's Funny Again.

Dispite what all you people say, Bob Saget was the funniest guy on the

show and the best host! Know why? Because in addition to the hilarious

nature of the videos, Bob added voices to the people and little jokes

here and there. And when it was time to announce the winner, an off- camera man gives Bob the card and Bob would make an observation of the guy. Yes, things were much more fun when Bob Saget was the host.

He hosted for seven years, then left. The producers set out to find another host. One of terrific comedic genius and superior hosting abilities--unfortunately, they got Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang, two of the worst people on TV. Why'd they get both of them? It just

goes to show you, when Bob Saget wasn't there, they needed TWO people to do his job. Again, Daisy Fuentes and John Fugelsang suck!! John Fugelsang, that's a funny name. Oh man, he must laugh all the time. And Daisy Fuentes is a model, not an actress. Now you can either choose to be an actress or a model, you can't be both, because if you do both, you are guarenteed to suck at one of them! Also when John and Daisy hosted, the winning was rigged! The video that ran the longest won; these two only hosted for three years, fortunately, and they got Tom Bergeron to take their place. Tom was ALOT better than John and Daisy. He isn't better than Bob Saget, but he is certainly number two. The videos are funny! Some aren't. I wish they'd tell you that not everything you're gonna see is funny, but they never tell you that on TV shows. So bottom line, Bob Saget was the best host!

John Fugelsang (funny name!) and Daisy Fuentes should burn in hell! Tom Bergeron is a good host also!
