Brian Dunkelman blogs this season of American Idol

dunkelman blogI was going to write something snarky about how Brian Dunkelman told Inside Edition that he wonders whether his career would've been, um, bigger if he had stuck around to host American Idol for more than one season. While the answer is obvious (just look at Seacrest), I changed my mind when I saw that the dude has a sense of humor about the whole thing. He's currently blogging about each episode of AI over at this website. He takes some shots at himself here, comparing himself to Shelley Long and David Caruso, two actors who left television shows after one season and, hey, look at them now! He has some pretty funny comments about the contestants, including the Brittenum twins, who he thinks should get their own show on UPN. And he takes some shots at Simon and of course, wraps up each entry with "DUNKELMAN OUT!" I totally appreciate that.

Seacrest is doing a fine job! His sense of humor is just fine, compared to Simons!!

I think AI needs a female co-host and Kelly Pickler would be perfect. She's not the best singer this year, but she is very charismatic and has a great stage presence and rapport with the judges.

I wish they would replace Seacrest. We need a fresh face...with a better sense of humor!!!!!
He's got too much on his plate.

What about Denise Crosby? She left Star Trek: The Next Generation in its first season to persue an acting career... only to end up doing Trekkies and um, Trekkies 2.

Brilliant move.

There's a reason he says Shelley Long is a bad example of someone who left a hit show after one year: Shelley Long was with Cheers for five years, and in its first year, it wasn't a hit anyway.
