10 TV Shows Blago Should Try Next

Steve Carrell is leaving the NBC sitcom, meaning there's an opening to play the dimwitted, gaffe-prone boss. This is the easiest casting in the world.

Blago's hunger for the spotlight would make him a shoo-in for the competition. Plus, he wouldn't be the first former politician to give it a spin; former House Minority Leader Trent Lott competed in 2009, only to resign due to injury.

Maybe the cantankerous TV doc could do a better job nailing down Blago than the federal prosecutors managed.

Can you imagine Blagojevich fist-pumping at the hottest clubs in Seaside Heights? We can. He'd give himself the name "The Impeachment" and compare poufy hair with Snooki.

Illinois has enough ex-pols with checkered pasts. Let's toss them all in a room and see what happens. That plus two parts Rahm Emanuel sounds like a winner of a show.

The crass working-class governor cast with immigrant roots cast into the high-class, old-money world of the Upper East Side? Sounds entertaining.

Because Kate Gosselin and Sarah Palin are already teaming up, so, if anything, a pairing of these two ex-guvs makes more sense.

If there's anything Blagojevich loves, it's drama. So why not wedge him into a cast of catty women? He could get over the whole gender issue by making his wife, Patti, a cast member while hogging her screen time. Plus, Chicago is long overdue for a Housewives show, and this would be the perfect opportunity.

He'd be a more entertaining host than Jeff Foxworthy.

Residents of Illinois would love nothing more than to see their disgraced former governor on this summer show, where contestants scramble through obstacle courses and often, well, wipe out. Schadenfreude at its finest.
