Poll Who do you want Giant Bomb to hire? (1184 votes)

Shawn Elliott 6%
Jeff Cannata 3%
Danny O'dwyer 37%
A new Video Duder so Drew and Vinny get more screen time 40%
Other (Name someone in your post) 14%

The most recent Unprofessional Fridays was a skeleton crew, and although I found the show to be absolutely hilarious and entertaining Jeff mentioned that steps are being taken to hire some new people. With that being said who do you guys want to see get potentially hired to join the Giant Bomb Crew? I've added a few names to a poll that I have seen/heard floating around, as well as just hiring a new Video Duder who could free up Drew and Vinny to be in more content. If you choose 'other' let everyone know who you'd choose and why!

Let your voices be heard!

Second, it's "whom" they should hire.

I'm not so sure about that. Don't you use "who" for grammatical objects? I know there's a rule for "whom", but I don't know how to phrase it.

Matt Bodega would've been a good hire but he's at Sony now. Other than that I'd like a video guy to let Drew and Vinny be on videos more. More video guys would also allow the staff to go on more events.

Somebody with a different perspective and more openness towards genres/series/games the regular crew tends to shy away from. Basically someone who fills the Patrick-shaped hole in the office since he moved to Chi-town.

It should be me. OK, so I'd probably not get a visa to work in the States, and I'd add absolutely nothing because I am neither a video wiz, a competent writer or anything other than a terrible screen presence. But I really need a job and that's all that matters to me right now.

An well spoken, entertaining, unknown would be cool. On top of that getting someone to work the back so Vinny and Drew get more face time is cool as well. Really anyone who could add something to the live shows would be great, known or not.

Honestly if they somehow managed to get Patrick (even though I relate to him the least, having a different opinion/view is cool) and Alex back in San Fran that would be ideal but I doubt that will happen.

I posted something a year ago on the subject, and i will retract most, except for Nikole Z., but after just listening to the GOTY podcast, here is who they need to hire.....SOMEONE THAT PLAYS AND FINISHES GAMES besides Alex and PK. Drew doesnt count nor does Vinny as i dont think that is their primary job in the office. That way you can have an interesting discussion on games, you know why the site exist.....for now. Im really tired of Jeff acting like a negative Nancy all the time and his negativity has bearing on the crew. Sometimes you just have to cut a man loose and like Bill Gates, for example, everyone even the founder is replaceable.

What? Nothing in this makes any sense at all.

Is it bad that I only know who Danny is on that list? And I only know him because of the GB stuff he does.

My vote is for someone to help Drew and Vinny out, but voting on who they should hire is kind of pointless...

TotalBiscuit. GB should then make 90% of their content be Patrick and TotalBiscuit talking about the injustices in the video game industry. It would make the comment section a magical place.

Ice T or RiFF RAFF. Though RiFF RAFF could be problematic because Rorie would keep trying to chomp Jody Husky and would keep getting a versace black eye as a result.

+1 for Riff Raff. If only they had the budget for him :(

If not him then I want GB just to go steal Danny

Matt Lees, formerly of Videogamer.com, now a free agent. He's also skilled in video-production stuff, and it sounds like they could use some help there, too.

How about a white man? just to switch things up a bit.

Maybe they should hire someone that's the most qualified or best fit, instead of specifically looking for a minority or woman. It's great if they do, but it's asinine when people make that complaint as if they've purposely avoided hiring them in the past.

No, he wouldn't. If he came to the site, which I doubt he ever would (although it seems like he jumps ship every year), I would never visit the site again.

Danny would fit in well. If not Danny, get someone so that Drew and Vinny can have more screen time, they've become my favorite personalities on the site.

Since Kessler got a real job, He can't do it. I do have some video editing experience, and play DOTA 2 with brad on occasion. Will the all-mighty Gabe join the crew? Find out on the next episode of Dragon Ball Zeeeeeee.

They need to bring back Peter Sellers from the dead and then hire him. As for a woman, I think they could hire the Queen of England. She doesn't do anything as is so she's available for a job.

You need to have a brain to have Parkinson's.

It'd be nice to get some variety in the mix. So, hopefully not a straight white dude?

At this point ANYONE as long as they actually like to play video games and can talk about it in a reasonable yet interesting fashion.

Anyone that Jeff finds appropriate. I have no fucking clue how any of these people work off-camera which is a pretty big part of the job.
