Agreed. Let's get Milo Aukerman (complete with hood), Henry Rollins, or Robert Smith.

Ok, I see you are hopeless in love for Elvis
I don't think Elvis is so entertaining, but really don't care about this minor aspect. Firaxis can chose the best joke teller they have at the Team and use her/his face. May be is someone from Test and Quality assuring Civ III will be free of "not system" bugs...
(just kidding).
If I can vote, I'll prefer Charlie Chaplin (Charlot) as a modern icon of an entertainer actor. His films are great, funny and with some tears for good measure. Maybe during a war it can substitute the Military advisor too (anyone remember the film where Charlot replaced Hitler? A masterpiece of acting, real piece of movies history).

I honestly don't like Elvis's music much as well, but when it comes to pure entertainer, no one tops Elvis as a one man machine. That and I find it way too funny to have Elvis as an advisor for him not to be included in Civ3Comment

Robert Smith.
Now how can HE be an entertainer?! He'd be depressed all the time depressing the populace with him

Sure Robert Smith is an entertainer- every time I see him I laugh. (I got the cure for that, where's my flamethrower?)
As for showmanship, you'd be hard pressed to top Pink Floyd or Rodger Waters (arena rock but bizarre). But I do think George Carlin should be the political advisor. Who's more qualified?Comment

Dear God, not George Carlin, he was funny when he started, now he's just cranky and whiney.
Elvis has stood the "Test of Time" When the Post Office started making popular stamps, what was the first one they issued? The King. What voting got more attention then even the Florida ballots and with less trouble? Elvis stamps.Comment

Hey, you may kill him, but Elvis will always live in our hearts, man...

Just wondering...
Where does Shakespeare fit into all of this?
Maybe you can build the wonder "elvis stage show". makes all people in city content, cahnges name of city to vegas, expires with discovery of alcohol...
Any man can be a Father, but it takes someone special to be a BEAST
I was just about to point out that Horsie is simply making excuses in advance for why he will suck at Civ III...

Elvis is Cool. I'm a punk fan, too, but Elvis... Well, he's the king, mate. Litsen to some of his better albums some time, From Elvis in Memphis perhaps. He may have been crap during his unfortunate movie career and his late decline, but Elvis at his height in the fifties and again in the late sixties is cool, no doubt about it.Världsstad - Dom lokala genrenas vän

YES. THE ELVIS WONDER MUST BE IN. (as well as Elvis)Comment

why couldnt' the entertainer be black? say eddie murphy? or perhaps bill cosby......
but if he is white i suggest Carrot Top

I'm just pleased that the advisors can be modified. So our entertainer can be replaced by Elvis, Johnny Rotten, or Dave Shappel. Even Robert Smith (fat or thin, just like Elvis).
And George Carlin is as funny as ever (except for that sitcom several years ago).Comment

Ehrr, I was not speaking about advisor, I was speaking of littel pics representing specialist (scientist, taxmen, entertainer).
That little black man with the rounded hat and the stick, i.e. Charlot, will fit nicely there as an icon without age, out of a proper historical reproduction of entertainer.
IMHO Charlot is more widely know outside USA than others people you mentioned.
Elvis "the Pelvis" is well know too, but... just a matter of taste, nothing personal, you know
