Just some helpful thoughts/suggestions....
MusicTalker, what if you played the Barbara Walters role, kind of rotating being "host" or sorts and actual panel member. Since this is your idea, maybe you introduce and come up with the daily/weekly(?) topics/discussions to keep it on track? Obviously, I think you deserve a spot since this is your idea and all.
And also...what about upping the amount of people to 8-ish? 5 works great for The View, but with people having outside lives and living in different time zones, won't it be kind of iffy making sure the 5 people are all on at the same time to keep the conversation going? With a few more people, the odds of having multiple panelists on at once is more likely.
Just some thoughts.
