Had enough of arguing about Dohhhh, so let's try a constructive thread.
I've got to go with Hansen I think. He makes crazy moves but also has the maths to know where he is. And he's highly entertaining to watch. His book's also a very good read although I'd maybe stay away from the tables for a bit after reading it. Seems a good guy too.
Negreanu comes a close second. He has an uncanny ability to know where he is and always comes across as a real gentleman. Except for that time he pushed the interviewer into the pool (see youtube, the interviewer was being a bit of a clown).
When I first started watching Lederer and Feguson struck me as the masters of the game.
Best entertainment value though, it has to be said, goes to the aggro guys. **** Mouth is Youtube heaven. Tony G and Devilfish are always worth a watch too.
My caveat here is that I've seen very little of Ivey for whatever reason. I've heard he can play a bit.
Orford's obviously the greatest but that would be a bit biased considering the site.
Yours?

That's easy Daniel Negreanu i watch him whenever he's on telly online has an all round awesome game
MUST BE PHIL HELMUTH LOL ,
JUST UTUBE HIS RANTS .
PMSL !
Favourite player I have ever interviewed though was either Neil Channing or Phil Laak. Channing is a god and Laak offered me to come over and play on his Xbox 360. I went, Jennifer Tilly introduced herself to me (as if she needed to!) and THEN offered to make me a cup of tea.
Tangent: if you could interview any one player, which one would it be? I always wanted to hang out with Sammy Farha - the guy is just full of gamble. I bet he flips $5,000 on which side of bed he gets out of...
wow, way too many players that you could mention.....Neil Channing, Daniel Negreanu and Gus Hansen are different class though.
Vicky Coren gets a special mention too..........
Phil Hellmuth for me, maybe he's not the best player these days, but he's not far off and his record speaks for itself. Hellmuth is very entertaining, livens up any TV table, you're just waiting for him to explode, the John McEnroe of poker.
Is DOHHHHHHH a pro player???....sorry
It has to be Negreanu for me mainly because of his play but also his attitude towards the game and other players........ and his tweets are not bad either
Phil Laak & Antonio Esfandiari obviously!!!
x
Reason being is their just the banter of the table. I hate having a quiet game it kills me. lol.
To interview sky dave. Id take the above to again.
Why?
I don't know either, but he was the first pro player that caught my attention when i first got into poker. Maybe it's because he is so ridiculous. But his record is amazing, and his mtt playing style, although outdated now, is, and will always be successful.
