Our prayers have been answered. After Chelsea Handler proved to be absolutely terrible at last year's Video Music Awards, MTV has decided to ditch tradition and have no host at Sunday night's award ceremony. There are plenty of other shows that we wish would follow this example, as well as a few we hope never try to be as ahem edgy as MTV.
The Academy Awards
Host Required? Yes.
If Hathaway-Francogate taught us anything, it's that the Oscars thrive on good hosting; in fact, the show is usually a total bust without it. Why do you think America will forever love Billy Crystal?
The Golden Globes
Host Required? No.
Look, we love Ricky Gervais and everything, but the Globes really don't demand a master of ceremonies. And with all of the "will-he-or-won't-he return" drama that's already been happening this year, we're hoping for no more headaches and a return to the traditional format of drunken celebrities accepting awards in peace.
Big Brother
Host Required? Absolutely not.
Julie Chen's already got plenty of other projects to entertain herself with (did we mention The Talk comes back September 6?), so we don't understand why, week after week, she has to personally return to lead the BB elimination ceremonies. Can't the Head of Household do it?
Hell's Kitchen
Host Required? Yes.
Let's face it: Any show that has Gordon Ramsay behind it requires his presence. As dramatic as his shtick is on this show, we'd miss him if he were gone. And don't get us started on his Great Escape.
The Bachelor Franchise
Host Required? Yes.
While it seems as though Chris Harrison hates his life when he shows up to deliver single lines of speech every episode, ABC honestly needs the guy. Who else would know how to lead a Rose Ceremony with such tact?
Survivor
Host Required? Yes.
Let's face it, Jeff Probst knows his way around a reality show hosting gig, not to mention a tribal council.
Bad Girls Club Reunions
Host Required? Oh yeah.
Perez Hilton does not get enough credit for his emcee duties here. He knows how to balance craziness and drama while actually getting information out from these wild women. Seriously, it sometimes makes us forget that he's that Perez Hilton.
Teen Mom and 16 and Pregnant Reunions
Host Required? A new one, yes.
We've said it before and we'll say it again: Dr. Drew has got to go. He's just awful when it comes to talking to teens about sex, especially young women. Maybe he can use his energy on finding actual stars for Celebrity Rehab because he's even worse than that no-name Jersey Shore reunion host.

I totally agree with Bachelor needing Chris Harrison. How in the world would we know how many roses are left on the plate to give out?!
We can't count them ourselves!
This is going to seem like an Out of Left field Idea, but how about the dinosaur that is "Saturday Night Live" doing a few shows without a host (They've done it before on a select number of episodes in the 70s & 80s)?
If SNL is really an ensemble show, I think there should be more emphasis on the ensemble itself than it is on the Host of the week plugging his/her latest project. The cast is the Real Star of the show, (Even if they have a number of lousy weeks in a row) and a show without a host could give some of the under-performing cast members a chance to get some screen time.
If they simply MUST use a big name star to appear in the show, just limit it to a cameo at the most.
Have to disagree about Dr. Drew. I love that guy. But that's because I listen to his call-in radio show in L.A. called Loveline. The man knows what he's talking about, and even though he's a bit of a famewhore, he's a famewhore with some interesting knowledge to impart, and I do believe he helps people.
