With the TAM2012 official announcement getting closer and closer, a friend and I have been speculating who the headliner/keynote will be for TAM2012. We've recently had Dawkins, and Tyson, and I guess we could have a repeat, but I would prefer to have some new blood. So I have started this thread in the hope people will put out their "dream" keynote speakers for TAM2012.

For me--Stephen Fry, and if he is too busy, Felicia Day.

The problem is, they've all been done already. Sometimes more than once (Tyson, Dawkins). At this point, what I'd really like is for the keynote to be surprising.
 
I've pretty much met almost all of the celebrity scientists I wanted to meet, except Stephen Hawking, I think.

If we're allowed to resurrect dead people, I would be inclined to go with Douglas Adams

After that it would be Carl Sagan and Richard Feynman. Hmm... I wonder if Zombie Feynman would be willing to do it...
 
Stephen Fry would be awesome! Hasn't he done TAM London before? Therefore, it wouldn't be a stretch to think he could do this TAM.

I just hope it's not Tim Minchin. I know that's not a very popular opinion around here. :)
 
I pimped Alan Alda a few months back. I would also like to see someone like Fareed Zakaria, although I have no idea if he's a "real" skeptic.

Of course, I have no idea if I am either. I *like* having Pamela Gay at TAM :)
