PESCA: Amy Dickinson.

AMY DICKINSON: I'd like to nominate Marge Simpson for the job because I hear she and Homer are having problems.

(LAUGHTER)

PESCA: And Peter Grosz.

PETER GROSZ: Daenerys Targaryen from "Game Of Thrones" because only in a fictional world where someone is the mother of three dragons could Lindsey Graham become president.
