Probably Jorgen Leth.
Is he a celebrity?

Does anybody
know
who
he
is?

I know who he is and having the celebrity be obscure is perfectly alright. As long as all the celebrities are not.

And where are all the celebreladies?

I can pull off Sean Connery or Casey Kasem. No that was not meant in the sexual connotation. Although...

I can't do this show, but at some point I want my Cosby to go head to head with Mike's. A House of Cosby's Maestro as it were.

Many GGG celebreladies (like my Julie Andrews) will be at a retreat all evening.
I am sorry to miss this!

Anytime I let my hair grow out a bit, people tell me I look like Bob Dylan in his younger years. It's the main reason I cut it now. I've been lazy and let it grow out over the last 2.5 months and I got stopped on the street several times last weekend by musicians at SxSW who told me I strongly resembled him. It's easy to dress the part and I can do the voice relatively well. I have a few harmonicas as well. If anyone has that thing you use to hold a harmonica while playing a guitar, I could wear that too.

I might as well exploit my hair while I can.

I thought of a celebrity I can do. The Swedish Chef. I'll get a chef's hat, and spout Swedish Chef gibberish the whole time. It'll be awesome.

Mike, you do a spot-on New York Itallian; do you think you could do Robert DeNiro or a Marlon Brando??

FYI...(from imdb.com) Although he is commonly referred to as an Italian-American actor, De Niro is actually one-quarter Italian in ancestry. His father was half-Irish and half-Italian. His mother was of French, Dutch and German ancestry. He was, however, quite close to his Italian paternal grandfather, whom Robert visited frequently in Syracuse, NY when he was young. De Niro has stated that he identifies "more with [his] Italian side".

Actually, that would not work Justin. We cannot use celebrities that impose too much limitation on the player and if you rule out being able to communicate verbally it cuts out your ability to play a lot of games such as Tag Team Monologue or Beastie Rap. And while that might be funny once, that is too much of a gimmick to carry through an entire show.

Does Thor count as a celebrity? Or do I have to wait for "Diety Maestro" to portray him?

Asaf · Post by **Asaf** » March 21st, 2007, 1:05 am

I would allow for Thor.

Hot damn, then The Thunder God shall come down from Valhalla and perform in Maestro.

Hunter S. Thompson would be a cool one to do, the Bill Murray Where the Buffalo Roam version though.

Keith Richards

And yes, Brad looks a lot more like Bob Dylan than I do like Keith Richards.

If all else fails, I think it would be funny for lights/sound/score people to be celebrities as well. Having the Swedish chef keep score would be relatively entertaining.
