Yeah, Phelps is pretty amazing as an athlete but he seems more wooden than John Kerry.

I hope he's developed more charisma by then than is in evidence here.

@lanciano - I agree. Strangely feminine cover shot. Spitz's version was better.

That cover shot makes Phelps look like he's wearing a red halter top. Does anyone else see that? Just for a split second??

Didn't he sing with the Mamas and the Papas back in the sixties?

Any later than Sept 13 and most people will have forgotten who this guy is.

Manning's United Way commercial was very good, but it doesn't touch Michael Jordan's feminine hygiene products ad. "Michael, do you ever get that not so fresh feeling?" If only I could find a clip...

I recall Derek Jeter being pretty good. I think the worst was that olympic skiier they had in 2002. Don't remember the guy's name (Mosely?) but anyway, the episode stunk. Hard to say how much that was the host's fault.
