The Bachelor host Jesse Palmer thinks Tom Brady would be "legendary"...

Jesse Palmer, the current host of The Bachelor reality TV show, thinks Tom Brady would be a “legendary” lead for the popular dating show.

Palmer: “We could use all of his houses”

Talking about which sports star would be a good fit as a lead of The Bachelor, the host mentioned that Brady would be “legendary” on the show.

Looking into the current romantic situation involving the newly divorced Brady, Palmer said: “There is the Irina Shayk issue, but if she’s willing to kind of just chill out for a couple months of filming, I think we’re solid.”

Palmer also said that Tom having multiple houses could be an excellent asset for the production team: “That’s another one that would be great because you could use all of his houses. We could literally go international… very budget-friendly. Tom Brady would be good.”

Palmer’s other two picks for leads

Jesse, who enjoyed 5 seasons in the NFL as a quarterback with the New York Giants and the 49ers, also thinks that fellow QB’s Justin Herbert from the Chargers and no.2 draft pick C.J. Stroud, would make great options.

Talking about Herbert, the host said that he has everything needed to be a “producer’s dream” by saying: “You actually could not script a better setup,”Palmer says. “That would be incredible for ratings, and also amazing for our budget.”

Palmer Jokingly said that Herbert would be great because of his recent blockbuster contract and the player could just lend his things to the show: “Justin Herbert would be a great one because we wouldn’t have to pay for the helicopter or the yacht, that would just be Justin’s… and he’s in the LA area so this is like perfect”.

As for Stroud, the new member of the Houston Texans would be a great candidate because of his young age and he could thrive in finding love as he embarks on his NFL career.

The Bachelor, which debuted in 2002, just got renewed for its 28th season in May.

Palmer, who is also a former NFL quarterback, made the comment while on an interview with TMZ Sports.
