Every year, the Tony Awards fare poorly in the ratings. Nevertheless, to its credit, CBS sticks with the event. They'll run this year's on June 6 and they've extended their commitment through the year 2010.
By June, Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick will have exited The Producers. Rumor has it that Martin Short will follow Broderick in the Leo role and that the producers of The Producers are talking with Kelsey Grammer about a tour of duty as Max. I would think any two of these four people would make dandy hosts for this year's telecast.
