Let's divide them (the celebrities) into parties of 6 or maybe 8, according to some random scheme. Then, having hired the ballroom at Savannah for each event, invite all TOTV-ers (and, maybe a handful of others ) to BYOB and then appoint some individuals to question the celebrity guests.

Do a weekly event and we keep ourselves busy all winter!

Good thinking, SWR. We'll defeat the purpose if we don't get to speak to the brains and talent we've invited. We'll feed our distinguished guests for an entire season. We'll divide TOTVers in to groups, too. Each group goes to a different table until we've all had a chance to visit all the tables by season's end.

Um Jblum... of course we will not invite impersonators! No way, Jose. Don't you see. None of our guests is dead!! That only happens in real life. This is fantasy!

Or to thoroughly misquote Howard Beale (the movie, Network): "In God's name, THEY are the real people! WE're the illusion!"
