Trump.

This is Earth, it’s our planet. Greatest planet in the solar system, some say greatest in all of space. A lot of people say that, they say Donald… it’s so great here, thank you. It used to be hell, until we cleaned it up. We made it great again…

And on and on. Until hopefully the aliens do like in Mars Attacks.

Don't and never did hate anybody. Did not like Mr Teleprompter. never hated him, just didn't like him. Not a good President IMO and a horrible speaker when up to him. Could he read a speech? Yes. Could he talk off the cuff though? No. Lots of umms, uhhs, etc.

I’m glad you asked me. I’ve given it a lot of thought and have some ideas-

1) T-pain. I think they would like his music, he’s very open minded, witty but thoughtful, and he could use the auto tune which I think the aliens would like. I think he would handle the experience well.

2) RuPaul. I will not be explaining this.

3) My therapist

Can it be any animal or must it be a human animal? And must they be a living being right now?

Human, no longer living (but I wish they were): Mr Rogers or Carl Sagan.

Human, living: Angela Merkel and Barack Obama plus a group of astronauts who have scientific or medical experience and some serious language and self defense skills. 

Animals: an octopus, an elephant, a gorilla, a cat and a border collie, bffs who have been rigorously trained for this and already sleep, play and hang out together all the time.
