Who would YOU choose to read the audiobook version of your autobiography?

I love audiobooks sometimes.

I have Amy Sedaris reading her "I Like You" book, and it's almost more entertaining than reading the book (I like the pretty pictures). I have John Waters reading his book "Shock Value", and that's a treat too. I also have Laurie Anderson reading a novel called "The Body Artist", and even though I've listened to it several times, I couldn't tell you what it's about because her voice is so pretty and soothing I'm always out like a light within 20 minutes. It's better than Xanax, I'm telling you.

ANYWAY. Say you wrote your autobiography and the publisher came to you and said they're making an audiobook of it and they wanted you to choose who reads it.

Who would you choose?

Here's my shortlist:

John Houseman (if still living; preferably drunk)
Janice from The Muppet Show
Linda Hunt
Bobby Trendy
Tracy Nelson
Tracy Morgan
Eartha Kitt
Shane MacGowan
Anthony Daniels
Courtney Love
Beaker from The Muppet Show

Sally Kellerman, but she has to read it like she's doing a Hidden Valley Ranch commercial. I want people to jizz in their pants during the first chapter.

You've either got a lot of secrets you want hidden or you want people to spend days listening, rewinding and listening again.

Ethel Merman but she's have to do it in recitative.

Maybe Arnold.
