I'd like to see Orson Welles in the John Candy role from Blues Brothers. Just so he could change the "orange whip" line to "steak au poivre".

I thought of that too, but by changing it to Steak au poivre you've taken it to the next level as they say in sports cliches.

Orson Welles should have been in "Welcome Back Kotter", but not as Principal Woodman.

In the cold open when Mr. Kotter would tell his wife about some uncle or another, there should have been a fade to a scene where Orson Welles silently acted out Gabe Kaplan's narration. That's a show I'd watch.

He should've been Buford T. Justice in "Smokey and the Bandit."

Or Burt Reynolds character in "Cop and A Half."

How about Orson Welles as the host of the Best Show?

"Not me, gentleman."

"Oh, I'm very much in the flesh right now."

"GET OFF MY TELEPHONE!"

"Mike, please find a copy of that Mahler symphony. Yes, the 9th symphony."

I can hear you judging me.
