One thing I can say about George Shea, and I think more than a few people will agree, he really is a great MC. I love his witty expressions and he really make events fun.
When I find that he is being interviewed, Podcast, or announcing an event, I can (and often do) listen to him over and over and over. My emotions range from laughing out loud to feeling goose bump-level pride, especially when Kobayashi and Sonya are involved.
With George, even the eater Introductions are a treat for me to listen to, and the finishes are like listening to the stretch run of a great horse race.
Geez! Next thing you know they'll be arguing about who created the term "table ender." said

Guys, guys, guys.
Cut Rushin some slack. He’s a man of letters and a pro through and through. From the SI vault, through careful excavation, comes this:
http://vault.sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1027636/1/index.htm
Read it. Study it. Compare it. Rushin’s “Four Forkmen of the Apocolypse” is obviously the phrase from which the now famous “Four Horsemen of the Esophagus” is derived. It’s like looking at a monkey and then at a man. There can be doubt that this evolution exists.
