The Perfect Narrator for Y2Kgreenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread |
We need some one to narrate the rollover. I vote for Jack Nicholson in the roll of the Joker!

Unfortunately, the best narrator for the Rollover is not available: the late John Facenda, the original "Voice of Doom" for NFL Films."The clock ticks forward in its inexorable march, there on the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field..."

You are all forgetting that "man for all seasons," and last I heard, he's still alive and working: Walter Cronkite.

How about Orson Welles? (known for his fictional radio broadcast of the invasion of New Jersey by men from Mars.)With a January 2, 2000 follow up summary by Steven King.
But you can't beat Jack Nicholson's character in the "Shining" by Steven King either.

How about Al Gore. The "man who invented the internet" is the perfect spokesman for the government's (failing) efforts to fix Y2K.

It will, as always, be Dick Clark.

How about "the voice" that did the play by play of the famous Hindenburg arrival.

Gotta be Chuck Heston.There are about 4 ways in which that can be viewed.
-- Greybear (greybear@home.com), March 23, 1999.
Guess it might help to make the point if I listed the ways.Heston - as Moses, leading his people through the wilderness
Heston - as pres of the NRA
Heston - as a NON politican
Heston - as the deliver of one of the best speaches in the last 30 years. See older threads.
There may be other ways.
oh yeah, and he's a dam good narrator too....
