    I agree richman is a fat moron that has limitid experience in front of the camera, The only reason most of ypu think he is so entertaining is because you never saw anyone other than richman host the show,Plenty more out there that are more talented than that jerk,Guy Ferrar for example is someone richman should emulate

    The Nathan’s finals critic is Peter King, NFL reporter for Sports Illustrated

    Peter King is a bigger douche bag.

    Can we just pretend it’s Bill Simmons then? I like the irony.

    I agree, Bill Simmons is the one who writes that anti-Nathans Article. What an ass!

    My vote is for David Goldstein, he and Peter King are cut from the same bolt of cloth.

    Brian Seiken is the only living soul on this planet that can host that show and do it right

    Didnt Guy do that Diners and Dives show that did not last because it sucked. Look if he is doing such a bad job then his ratings will tank right. People like the guy. You throw Eater X or Bertoletti they eat a five pound buger in six minutes people do not want to see that. The whole appeal of the show to the normal folks is that they see him try and fail or see him do it and think “hey i could do that”.
