Me?

Easy… Matt Lauer.

    Gosh, that’s a tough question. I really have no idea. How boring of me.

      Not boring at all. You must be so content in your own identity that trading places with someone else doesn’t even come to mind!

  2. Lindsey Nobles June 11, 2010 at 6:07 am #

    Gosh, this is hard. For one day?

    Maybe Shaun Groves…seems like he has the coolest jobS. Traveling the world, hanging out with kids, changing lives, meeting bloggers, and singing for a crowd of people.

    I don’t have any big celebrity crushes, or chairs I would like to sit in, fun wise I want to be Oprah on her giveaway day, I love to surprise people with their “wishes” or one day in the shoes of Patsy Clairmont, she makes me laugh and laughter is good.

      Aren’t there easier ways to make kids smile other than dressing up like Ronald McDonald? :)

  11. Lindsay June 11, 2010 at 7:02 am #

    Jeff Probst or someone on his staff – I’d love to test out or create the games they make for Survivor.

    Or I’d just BE on Survivor :)

  12. Marni June 11, 2010 at 7:04 am #

    That highly-blessed woman on the Travel Channel who visits spas all over the world and gets all the great treatments and massages. Oh yeah. I want THAT job for a day. And she’d be lucky if I gave it back… ;-)

  13. Erin June 11, 2010 at 7:16 am #

    What a fun question. I would be a music artist at a concert(Natalie Grant, Mercy Me). To be a part of the energy they create and the Glory they give God would be amazing. I know I can give glory to God anywhere but belting it out on a stage would be way cool.

  14. JD June 11, 2010 at 7:20 am #

    If Jesus isn’t an available option, either Paul the apostle, or Wess Stafford.

  15. Michael Harrison June 11, 2010 at 7:46 am #

    easy.

    I’d like to switch jobs with one of my heros …. Pete Wilson

    LOL–I don’t think I could walk two steps in someone else’s shoes, I can barely make it in my own! But if I could, it would be a singer (yeah, singing like ColdWater Jane ladies) and I’d love to find a little band somewhere passing the hat in a public place and sing with them and watch people enjoy it (now? in reality? Ha! I can’t even carry a tune in a bucket!)

    well, sometimes I would like to be the president- with no congress! But mostly I would like to be the person at Disney who goes around with the broom and dustpan all day.

  21. Kristine J June 11, 2010 at 8:10 am #

    Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea guy) – although I don’t know if I’d want to be him for a day but I’d love to check out his schools and spend time with some of the students he has blessed!

  22. Linda June 11, 2010 at 8:16 am #

    Columnist in a secular paper to write on Christian issues going on. YES!!!!!!!

  23. Leah June 11, 2010 at 8:21 am #

    The question is… would he want to switch jobs with you ? :)

    • Pete Wilson June 11, 2010 at 8:49 am #

      I’m going to say No but he would actually be really good at it I think.

    Nicole Richie or the Olsen Twins, b/c they are fashion designers and that is my ultimate goal!! Plus Nicole’s my style icon :)

  28. mpt June 11, 2010 at 8:44 am #

    Be honest, Pete, you want to trade places with Matt just so you can whip up some
    crème brûlée with Giada a couple times a month.

    :)

    (PS: this is a joke.)

  30. Morgan June 11, 2010 at 8:51 am #

    I think it would be a combination of 2 different people in my industry–one is this girl “Kelly Kelly Kelly” that is a phenomenal & highly creative radio producer. The other is a member of the Kidd Kradick in the Morning radio show–Kelly Rasberry. She is flawed in all the right ways and is such a classy, outspoken woman. I think a day as her would be a riot and truly a mind opening experience.

  33. katdish June 11, 2010 at 8:57 am #

    Um…why do you want to be Matt Lauer?

    I think I’d like to be Oprah for a day, just so I could tell everyone to stop worshipping me so much. Also, we wear the same size shoe, and I would grab me some high dollar footwear while I’m at the mansion.

    I’d like to sit opposite Regis Philbin and talk about funny stuff (so Kelly I guess is who I would be). If that wasn’t available I’d go with Meredith Viera. I wouldn’t mind hosting Oprah either.

    Hmm… Watching the Today show now, and how fun would it be to watch you and Matt switch. As for me, Stephanie Abrams. She’s so funny, very weather smart and gets to work with Mike Bettes and Al Roker. (hmmm… maybe I watch too much weather channel. Nah, not possible.)
