Gilbert Gottfried, the onetime Saturday Night Live cast member whose voice is regularly heard in animated films (Iago in Aladdin, the obsessive-compulsive dog in Dr. Dolittle) has emerged as the front-runner to host the daytime syndicated version of The Weakest Link, the New York Post reported Thursday. NBC’s primetime host, Anne Robinson, also hosts both the British primetime version and a daily afternoon version of Link on the BBC. On Wednesday, BBC Worldwide, the broadcasting corporation’s commercial arm, said that it expected to earn about $45 million from overseas sales of The Weakest Link over the next five years.
