1. Kenny Chesney: big country star with E. TN roots. Past history as a picker and ESPN ties with his documentary
2. Peyton Manning: pretty obvious as to why and is probably already in town for it
3. Kelsey Ballerini: Knoxville girl who has blown up on the national stage. No show that night. So she is available. Plus, very camera friendly
4. Johnny Knoxville: local boy, vols fan and occasionally comes to games. Well known actor that should bring good entertainment value
5. Quentin Tarantino: big time director from Knoxville. Always references the area in every movie he does. Not sure how often he makes it back to town though
6. Miley Cyrus: would be a very interesting pick. But obviously from Nashville. Likely has a pretty busy schedule with all that she does so she may not have the availability
7. James Denton: Desperate Housewives actor who graduated from UTK. Not as big of instant name recognition but it was an ABC show (Disney parent company owns ESPN).
8. Glenn Jacobs "Kane": one of the better known wrestlers of all-time. Lives in Knoxville now.
