- The recast is to replace Jeffrey Jones, against another host's preference for keeping him.
- Alan Rickman is proposed after a Richmond/Rickman name mix-up; Hans Gruber as the principal is overqualified, which is why it could work.
- A second host would also have voted for Rickman.
- Ronny Cox is proposed; he could do the funny stuff, and his 1983-1990 run playing men in charge is legendary.
