Tina Tyus-shaw, She has a face for raido, I can't even watch the news because she's so damn ugly. I don't even want to know what she looks like without her makeup on. Her mkeup artist must put it on with a mirror so she doesn't turn to stone.

Well not too many people may know what I'm talking about but....Padma from Top Chef. However you spell her name. She is a regular person, a decent looking girl I guess, among a ton of really good chefs, and she is a judge of their cooking. OK, the judges consist of her, 2 highly regarded chefs, and a guest judge who is always an extremely highly regarded chef. So wtf is she doing there judging people's food if she has no credentials in that area? I have never understood that. I think I hate her. Yeah, I do.

Oh yeah, and Nancy Grace...she makes me cringe.

The guy that does the voice over in Disney Channel commercials.

I tried to watch a movie with my kids last night, and every 5 minutes, they would run 5 minutes of commercials about what other shows are on the channel. The guy has one of those overly excited, nuts in a vice voices that drives me crazy

That woman from the Hughes Satellite Internet commercials. There's just something nerve-grinding about her mannerisms and voice..

Leave Padma alone! She's had 2 cookbooks and hosted her own Food Network show as well as a show in the UK. Besides, someone has to balance out the ugliness of Colicchio.

JG Wentworths I think, although I messed up, it's really "need cash now?". No idea what channel it's on, just something I hear in the background.

Noone has mentioned Simon Cowell.

Also a 2nd for Bill O'Reily, Rush Limbaugh (when he had a show), and all the other talking heads that think we care what they have to say...

Nancy Grace - I'm convinced that some replica of Nancy Grace and her snarling, judgemental, piggish snout awaits those who are sent to the gates of Hell.

Ty Pennington - incredibly annoying, hugely fake, totally disingeniune, completely over the top for the camera.

Rosie O'Donnell - seems to revel in being a nasty, rude, crude, cackling hog. Those grainy vids that she releases from her Fortress of Disgustitude with some lackey snickering beside her are incomprehensibly vile.


Sports:

Mike Patrick - announcer. When a semi-big play happens, he *always* completely overreacts in a loud monotone burst of crap, but it's always a couple beats too late, so it comes off as not a natural reaction to the play, but something calculated and forced. Atrocious play by play.

Joe Theismann - condescending asshole on TV, can't imagine how awful he is IRL.

Sean Salisbury - total asshole with asinine football analysis.

ESPN as an entity - Honorable Mention for ruining sports. Screw you guys.

Damn...teh intarweb doesn't have enough room to list all the TV personalities that I can't stand, so I'll just list a few of my "favorites to hate":

Jerry Seinfeld
Gilbert Gotllieb
Conan O'Brien
ANY of the Republican "Talking Heads"
ANY comedian or news reporter who thinks they have to yell to make their point...ALL THE TIME.
Any Black comedian who gets up and makes his/her entire show about Ni**er this, and Ni**ger that.(if you want to be funny, be funny...if you want to be a racist, DIAF.)

I'd like to add every morning "news" show host, specifically Harry Smith and Dave Price from the CBS Early Show.
