What? No option for Nicholas Parson(s) (Host of the BBC Radio 4 show Just a minute)? :)

Martin

And host of Sale of the Century don't forget. Oh yes, the good old days. Who could forget that pinnacle of quality TV eh?

[ccarden]

Billy Pilgrim was great ...

A couple more:

Bobby Bishop
John Chancellor

And pushing the limits:

Fernando Lamas

[Popcorn Dave]

Don't forget: Joey Bishop :)

I know I shouldn't complain about limited choices, but how about:

J.B. Priestly?
Art Monk?
Irving Friar?
Mo Nunn (of Mo Nunn Racing)?
"John Paul" Jones?
Abbie Hoffman?

Okay, it's getting silly; well, silli-ER. I'll stop now.

I like this poll, being a monkishly-named-monk.

Cheers, Happy-the-monk

[Mago]

Happy-the-monk is very Happy !!!

Elizabeth Bishop but not Anne Sexton? tsk, tsk.

Adrian Monk. Oh, er, I mean Tony Shalhoub. Wait, he doesn't have a monkishly-named persona. Oh well, nevermind.
