Cooking show host media doppelgangers

[greygarious]

Small h's analogy that Rachael Ray is the Barney of cooking show hosts will be hard to beat, but what kiddie or talk show hosts are the equivalent of what cooking show hosts?

Joanne Weir....Shari Lewis
Chris Kimball....Charles Osgood, William Buckley
Paula Deen....which Teletubby?

Sandra Lee...Kathie Lee Gifford (i'm convinced they're the twin spawn of Satan who were separated at birth)
Curtis Aikens...Al Roker. (he isn't on the air anymore AFAIK, but he always reminded me of Al)
Alton Brown...Mr. Wizard
George Duran...Jimmy Kimmel

ghg - your first one is spot on! (But then you might know I'd say that of both of those spawn, didn't you? <vbg>)

I don't know George Duran...but having looked him up, the resemblance is there (although he also reminds me of Duff on Ace of Cakes).

George Duran used to host "Ham on the Street," and then he took over for Jim O'Connor on "The Secret Life Of..."

Paula Deen...Pig Pen/Foghorn Leghorn
The Deen Boys...Ralph wigham/Peter Griffen
Giada...Betty Boop
Bobby Flay...Barney Ruble

thank you for the Giada and Booby Flay comparisons! i was racking my brain trying to figure out who it would be for those two...Betty Boop and Barney Rubble are great choices :)

got any ideas for Guy Fieri? i'm stumped on that one...

Poochie from the Simpsons!

now that i think about it, he's Bart dressed in Poochie's clothing!

Good call on Pouchie.

I was thinking perhaps Animal from the Muppets.
