But apparently both Heidi Klum and Brad Garrett did, as each announced this week that they’d take on separate series in the vein of Kids Say the Darndest Things, a feature on Art Linkletter’s House Party from 1952-69 that Bill Cosby revived in 1998.
Klum, a mother-of-four who will also serve as co-producer of Lifetime‘s tentatively titled, Seriously Funny Kids, has in her favor the paparazzi-proven fact that she can get down with the little ones, not to mention the fact that “auf Wiedersehen” will probably elicit a giggle or two.
Garrett on the other hand, has Ryan Seacrest as producer of his untitled TLC series and a charm totally opposite from Klum’s affable cheer. If he capitalizes on his curmudgeonly TV persona, it could be just the kind of odd pairing — cute kid and cranky old man — that could drum up some nostalgia for the Cosby years.
Who do you think makes a better host? Vote in the poll and sound off below!
Sorry, but Brad just creeps me out. He’s his own biggest fan and a Ham isn’t my choice for a host.
Heidi Klum is so annoying. I feel like she is HER own biggest fan. I love hilarious kids though…
Steve Harvey, but he’s comitted to The Family Feud. How about Keenan Ivory-Wayans or David Allan Grier? Klum is all wrong for the show and Garrett is scary.
Heidi, because anyone who watches “Project Runway” knows that Heidi says the darndest things. (Hosh-kaposh = “hodgepodge” Saying a few seasons ago that something was “selling like bagels”, instead of “seeling like hotcakes.”)
This isn’t supposed to be “Heidi says the darndest things”. She has turned so mean and nasty this year on PR that I can hardly stand her.
I guess what I’m saying is that I’d rather watch a show full of Heidi’s malapropisms than I would a “Kids Say the Darndest Things Show” (much less TWO.)
Also, let me get this straight: with people like Ivy, Gretchen, April and the rest of the elitist sheep who’ve ganged up on Michael C., HEIDI is the person you think has been nasty and who you can’t stand this year?!
“Miss Heidi, why does my mommy say you are a @itch?”
Can’t we just file this under “Things we just don’t need”?
I’m a mom of little kids. And I do think a lot of what they and their friends say is beyond cute, but I’ve never like these cloying kinds of shows. Most “real” kids won’t perform upon demand, and the extrovted kids that will, are usually obnoxious.
Don’t like either of them but Brad is insufferable and I wouldn’t watch anything with him in it. I can’t even watch reruns of Raymond is he’s too involved in the storyline.
Do kids say “Amazon.com” correctly? DO THEY, HEIDI???
I think they’ll both be great! Brad’s got the scary, big guy thing going for him and that could really create some funny moments with the little ones.
