10 Stars Who Look Bad on HDTV-5

Even people who routinely broadcast in HD, like talk show hosts, sometimes suffer due to the increased clarity. "David Letterman looks horrible," says Swann. "With so many lines and crinkles, his face looks like a ten-year-old pair of pants." Hey, maybe Dave deserves a pass because of his age and well-documented heart problems. According to Swann, Dr. Phil comes across looking unhealthy – "his skin is ashen" – while Jay Leno looks very good – "he comes across as very relaxed" – so maybe it's a lot about personality. Interestingly, Oprah Winfrey's show isn't broadcast in HD, so we'll have to wait on that one.

This is a bunch of B.S!!!! these people look absolutely fine! Excuse them for not being perfect.... geeze. I want to see what the author of this article looks like in HD! Seriously, give them a break. Besides, there are more important issues in the world...

exactly, they did not get on tv to be MODELS GEEES!!!!! again ridiculous!
I don't think they care as long as they do good for others and they make their mega bucks, I have never looked at or checked out either dr phil or david letterman but think they are both awesome! WHO CARES HOW THEY LOOK ON HD! don't they look the same to everyone else???

I hope the idiots who wrote this garbage look half as good. What mean-spirited nothing else to write editors and writers they are! When will we all understand that these people are ACTORS..PERFORMERS....they ACT for a living...they are supposed to MAKE BELIEVE...why do we think they are real? Do we really believe they ARE who they portray????

Don't look so good. Letterman has always been kind of goofy looking and dorkter Phil is a bald headed Kazoo. Few people look good as bald headed kazoo's. He might be a cute match for Rosie. Diesel and Dork

Its a good thing that Oprah has Millions cause thats what it's going to take to keep her at that look :( Don't take off the Makeup Oprah

What I want to know is... who the hell is Swann anyway. Um? Hello? Last time I checked- it was a normal process in life for a persons skin to become wrinkled and old. I'm a fan much of Dolly Parton, but look at her face. I'd rather look like Letterman w/ wrinkles versus Dolly Parton who can't even show her true smile because of all her plastic surgery, and all the procedures done on her face to take away the freakin' wrinkles. GET OVER YOURSELF... SWANN

This seemed like a cruel and pointless way to direct one's journalistic opportunity

I do not see ANY of what this idiot is writing about. They all look the same and its sad that you would try to pick on people like this. I would love to see a pic of you in HD

Everyone I've seen so far looks just fine. Why is Oprahs name coming up? Do she, with all of her BILLIONS, or any of these other celebs care what any of us feel or think about them, I think not!!!
RobMar 15th 2008 12:20AM
Dr. Phil looks fine in HD. Letterman on the other hand has always looked liked a homeless Scotsman. And Leno, who cares! He is so 2-Dimensional, Einstein would have kicked him off the planet!

I would sure hate to be on T.V. and be judged by the way i look. Dianne Sawyer has so much class. Dr. Phil is my hero. I hate to go a day without watching his show. I am glad they aren't perfect, that way i know they are real. With the money they have i really doubt they care about what people think they look like. They are just enjoying life. And i love them just they way they all are.

both of the writers iof this article should kill themselves or better yet someone else should do it for them

It's sites like this that make kids nerotic over their looks. People, NO ONE is perfect!! Stop thinking that ANYONE is, because they're not!!! I for one is very sick and tired of people picking out everyone's flaws. For goodness sake, if we all can't be who we are, then we better all run our flabby asses, down to the nearest plastic sergeon to get everything nippd and tucked. Is this really the way we all want out kids to think is normal? Geez, let people age! It's normal. I would love to see a close up picture of the person who posted these pictures, I bet they couldn't hold a candle to anyone here, yet, they're ow-so-proud of bashing anyone who isn't aging perfectly. To those people, is say...Please, please, post your picture, and allow us all to critique you!! Believe me, you wouldn't hold a candle to these stars, let alone, all the millions of people out there that aren't obsessed with their looks. I personall find all of this rediculous and a huge problem to people of all ages that have been blind to the likes of you people that say if you aren't "perfect" then you aren't "anyone". Can't anyone post anything that has any redeaming information????????????

DON'T YOU DARE DISS MY CRUSH DAVID LETTERMAN!!
xandjinnMar 16th 2008 12:34AM
Um... these guys look bad any time, anywhere, any resolution. Same goes for Rosie O'Donnell. Doesn't matter if they're in HD or not, they're just not attractive people.
ledaMar 18th 2008 10:50AM
good at their job, hard workers, and "real" in their appearances. I have only ONE question for those who need some dental attention...."Don't you know a dentist?" That is one of the first things people see when you open your mouth and speak. If you have the money, give some attention to dental care....

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!ALEX TELL US HOW YOU REALLY FEEL
