Took this idea from Reddit. Here's the concept:

Aliens have contacted Earth. They request one person to represent mankind in talks between our species.

Who do we nominate?

Some answers from the Reddit thread:

David Attenborough

Keanu Reeves

Sigourney Weaver

Danny DeVito

Karl Pilkington

Jeff Goldblum

Jimmy Carter

Terry Crews

Barack Obama

Morgan Freeman

Neil DeGrasse Tyson

Joe Rogan

Stephen Fry

Ryan Reynolds

Gordon Ramsay

Robert Downey, Jr.

Elon Musk

Donald Trump

Names with a strikethrough have been nominated. Please choose another name.

HERE'S HOW THIS THREAD WORKS:

You pick a name from the above list, or choose someone else.

We all vote for those names with upvotes. You can vote for more than one person. 

After a week, I'll make a poll with the top ten vote-getters as chosen by upvotes in this thread. We'll all vote. It will be binding.

Have fun.

EDIT - if someone has been nominated, please choose someone else for your post

I'll choose someone probably nobody else will, but I love his series with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, An Idiot Abroad and The Moaning of Life:

Karl Pilkington

 
Interesting list. I didn't LOL until I got to Terry Crews (not that his is necessarily the funniest) but he always makes me laugh. @GSG smartly took the homer pick so now it feels weird to go with Tom Osborne. So my pick is.....

Will Smith

If prior experience is helpful, Sigourney Weaver would mop the floor with Will Smith.  

 
my top 2 are already picked.    and out of the rest of the list i guess i would choose obama.   he is well spoken and can be very diplomatic.   first contact would require those qualities.

 
Jim Nye

With his aerospace background, he may have a better understanding of how their ships work and help humanity recreate it and his intellectual curiosity would lead to some interesting 'communication' between man and alien.
