I'd get Theophano, Basileios II, Konstantinos VIII, Ioann I, Nikephoros II, and Romanos II so I could do Jerry Springer.
Who would you bring back from history?

If you're going to do talk shows, bring back Hitler and Stalin as taillesskangaru said, and put them on Springer.
"You ****in' mother****er!"
"Who's the master race now b****?"
"Bolshevik ****sucker!"
"JERRY! JERRY! JERRY!"
EDIT: Goddamn you Dachs, stop stealing my thoughts!

How about "Heartless Dictators, and the critics that hate them"?
Hitler, Goebbels, Mengele vs. Seinfeld and Woody Allen.
Stalin and Lenin (with Marx as their telephone lifeline) vs. Limbaugh & Glenn Beck.
If military instruction was anything to go by, that would be a bloodbath - mindless agression and mass tactics went out with WWI

DEATH MATCH!
Lincoln VS Queen Victoria
Thin, Tall, Presidential man against Short, stout, woman Monarch.
SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY
That reminds me of the story about Lincoln being challenged to a duel. He apparently picked swords that were so incredibly large and heavy his shorter opponent (by about a foot), couldn't wield it properly. He managed to turn the entire thing into a comical exercise.
Beware of Bitish, famale leaders - The Iron Handbag in a ring with Rambo - 1st round knockout, blue corner wins!
Xerxes was a sissy mama's boy. Alex saw combat over and over and over again. No contest.
No; buthey were from different cultures - the Greeks emphasised the strength of each man, while the Persians emphasised tactics and things like archery, and their kings were a bit less tough than most Greek soldiers (anyone seen 300?)

Yes, 300 was completely correct. Xerxes was seven feet tall and had a voice deeper than batman.
Ain't going by Frank Miller, son, but Herodotos.Just because he wore make-up doesn't mean he's a sissy!
(I suppose you could also call him a ladies' man by way of Aeschylus.)

This.
Xerxes fought Alexander on several occasions. Every single time he fled the field of battle. Alexander was widely considered the greatest tactician to have lived by that point - don't really agree with it, but he knew his stuff. Xerxes managed to get himself killed while being kidnapped. It's no contest. The only question is whether Alex would literally rape him, or only figuratively do so.
Lincoln was a former wrestling champion. I think he could take Vicki with ease. We all know Vicki wasn't much of a wrestler, or old Albert wouldn't have scored approximately 93 children.
EDIT: Hang on, didn't Alex fight Darius?
Yes. Which is why the lunacy that was in the preceding part of your post is so lulzy.

Then why the **** is Xerxes being mentioned as an opponent of Alex at all?

Blame west india man. Admittedly, this is a Civilization website, and in Civilization III Xerxes and Alexandros were the Persian and Greek leaderheads respectively. Darius Codomannus isn't a leaderhead in any of the games.

He's a leader in the Ancient Mediterranean mod on Civ III, which I always found terribly amusing. Pericles leads the Greeks, and Alexander the Macedonians. There's some other weird choices like Scipio ruling Rome.Blame west india man.

west india man, I will find you and make you pay. You could have at least made it Alexander versus Cyrus, now that would be interesting.
