Bernadette isn't a ratings grabber on network television. In the theatre, she sells tons of tickets, but television is a much bigger playing field. Unfortunately, she isn't as respected or as well-known outside of New York as she is in New York. Steve Martin, on the other hand, is much more well-known to middle America and has proven himself to be a great host. The Tony's have had really low ratings in years past, and if they don't rise dramatically, you may only be able to see them on cable. I love Bernadette as much as the rest, but that's just a reality of the business.

Replying to:

Read what this guy Gary Smith (the exec. producer of the Tony's said):

"Smith wanted (Nathan) Lane back this year or Steve Martin, who has handled similar duties for the Academy Awards. He settled for Bernadette Peters and Gregory Hines, gold-plated theater stars if not exactly ratings-grabbers."

That REALLY pisses me off!!! He SETTLED for Bernadette??? Who does this guy think he is?? OMG!!! He'd rather have Steve Martin?? I can't stand it!!! Oh, and Bernadette isn't a ratings grabber?? Ask a Bernadette Peters fan... JERK!!!
