If you know me, then you know about my hard-line belief that Paul F. Tompkins should be the host of America, broadcasting live from my living room. So it gives me great joy to learn that he'll soon be taking the next logical step toward making that happen. According to A Special Thing, he's been tapped to host of a revamped Best Week Ever:

Paul has this to say: "I am going to make the most of this
opportunity. We're going to try our best to make a good show. It's a
good team. And I think if the show wasn't exactly your thing before,
you might want to give it a second chance in this incarnation. It will
be a more controlled, written show– since less time will be taken up
combing through a couple dozen interview tapes looking for the best
jokes from a dozen people, that's more time to write the best jokes and
have me and a couple other people deliver them. I hope people tune in
and enjoy the show!"

Does this sound to you kind of like a pop-culture Daily Show? It does to me. In a good way. No, in a great way.

After the jump, enjoy a clip from Paul F. Tompkins' last Comedy Central Presents.
