William Shatner To Host American "Iron Chef"?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-have-got-to-be-kidding-me dept.

imac.usr writes "OK, I was a little concerned when I submitted the story about the "Iron Chef" movie, but even I was unprepared for this one. This is either the best or worst idea I've heard this year; perhaps both? The main fan site also has the story. Allez Cuisine ahead full!" This has got to be kidding. If they can get Morimoto to be on it, I'll watch. Once anyway.

    the main reason for the show's popularity is its.... well, japanese-ness.

    take that away, and you've got a lot of money wasted on a failed television project. not the first, not the last, but it realy seems like there are just so many better projects otu here to spend money on.

    No North American actor could pull of the part of the "Chairman". The overdramatization, the weird facial expressions, the zeal with which he bites that damn pepper... Who else but Shatner could fill those shoes? Who did you want to host it? Alex Trebec? (sp?) Dick Clark?
