Fed up with televised "celebrity poker tournaments," JWZ proposes a
much better celebrity tabletop game for small-screen syndication:
Celebrity Dungeons and Dragons! Man, I would so watch that. I wanna
hear Angelina Jolie's level three cleric get medieval on Ed McMahon's
chaotic evil elf fighter!
I want to see a TV show where the flying camera crane
zips around the table where Wil Wheaton, Puff Daddy, Michael Madsen,
and Lindsay Lohan play D&D. I would totally watch that.
"Yo, I'm-a gonna get all up in that orc's face with my Magic
Missile. Jack you up, orc!" Then then announcers banter, "oh, Magic
Missle! A bold choice, he might need that later. Here comes the
roll..."
It would be GLORIOUS.

Update: It turns out that Wil Wheaton already pitched this to Comedy Central:
No joke: I helped some guys from Upright Citizen's
Brigade pitch this to Comedy Central. We did a live version for them at
the Comedy Central Workspace earlier this year.
It was AWESOME, and hilarious, and I got to sit close enough to
Paget Brewster to pretend that she was in love with me, but CC didn't
pick it up.
There's a tape of it, that should /really/ find its way to the internets.
Update 2: A reader sez, "Apparently, Vin Deisel is a big nerd who's really into D&D. He wrote the Foreword for that special anniversary Dungeon Guide."
