George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter To Judge New Fox Competition Reality Show AMERICA’S NEXT PRESIDENT??

I am – Hercules!!

The headline up there is a giant lie. But now you know how the residents of Canada feel.

Alex Trebek will fill the Ryan Seacrest role in the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.’s “Canada’s Next Prime Minister,” which will feature three former Canadian prime ministers choosing a contestant they think will make the best leader of their chilly icicle of a nation.

And – blimey! – the CBC has also sold the format to the BBC, so we might see “Britain’s Next Prime Minister” as well.

Find all of The Hollywood Reporter’s story on the matter here.
