I pride myself on not taking easy shots at people, especially if they’re in trouble, so I haven’t mocked Charlie Sheen much. I think he’s actually a really gifted public speaker and probably a smart guy. I hope he gets help.
Anyway, the gossip columns say there’s no way the network is letting the incredibly lucrative Two and a Half Men go, but are just going to replace Sheen. That sounds right to me.
Here are the actors they’re rumored to be considering:
John Stamos
Jerry O’Connell
Christian Slater
Jeremy Piven
Donny Osmond
Brad Garrett
Dennis Miller
Emilio Estevez
James Spader
Matthew Broderick
Judd Nelson
Anthony Michael Hall
Macaulay Culkin
David Faustino
Will Arnett
Dane Cook
Rob Lowe
Andrew McCarthy
What do you think? It’s hard to believe some of the more movie star-ish ones would take a job on a really badly written sit-com (and is Macaulay Culkin old enough? They want a forty-something.)
