George Tsoulakis even dug up Von Daniken and made him part of the Ancient Aliens team.
I love that show - great HD scenes of interesting archaeological sites. It's all bullshit, but it's real eye candy.
If you really listen critically, Ancient Aliens proceeds from the proposition "What if it were true?" But the narrative is so convoluted, that the "speculative" part is buried.
Could Earhart have been abducted by aliens and, if so, is there evidence of her abduction in King Tut's tomb? Some ancient alien researchers say "yes"!
There was one piece of narrative that I loved and will have to find again.... "I am 100% convinced that it is certainly possible."
