I've already seen too much of that.


While the promos for i.am.first were great, if there is celebrity interaction in the kickoff, I'd like to see it be specific to the event, not just "I'm a celebrity and I think general science is cool." Miley Cyrus relating a story about her freshman Biology class doesn't really directly transfer to FRC. But if she's revealing part of the 2012 game with a gamepiece in her hand, that would be legitimate and true.

To piggyback on what Jane said, I'd like to see a mixture of mainstream entertainment celebrities and science celebrities (although it could be argued that we've had that for years with Dr. Flowers, Mr. Kamen, and Mr. Lavery).

Possible crossover celebs would be Paul Sr. and Paul Jr., the Mythbusters (I know, Kari's done VEX and Grant's done FRC), Chris Hardwick, Conan O'Brien, Peyton Manning (since it's obviously a football game and he's not doing much these days anyway), Oprah Winfrey, Mike Rowe.
