Very hexciting

So I was watching some really bad chat shows today, the way proudly led by the grease-covered chav-fest that is Jezza Kyle, and something occurred to me.

I was five - count 'em - chat shows into the afternoon, and that accounted for just the one channel on just the one part of just the one day in just the one country. That's thousands of nutcases every single day appearing on the tellybox.

And yet I have never met anyone who has been on a chat show, nor have I met anyone who has met anyone who has been on a chat show. So where the bloody hell do these people spring from?

Anyone know?

And that's without even touching on what makes them think it could possibly be a good idea to go on one.

p.s. my nomination for best ever chat show: the Jerry Springer episode involving a witch doctor attempting to purge her hillbilly boyfriend's love for his pig. Genius.

They're bred in a lab … a very chavvy lab.

In ESSEX.

The desire for 15 minutes of fame clearly disrupts the brain's normal logic function. That's the only explanation I can figure :)

I've seen three people I "know" on them! One couple were a pair from school and the other was a random drunken chavman who used to shoplift from the shop I worked in!!!

Toothless fucker.

Ahh yes, those halcyon days of Jerry. That man knocks Jezza into a cocked hat in terms of really providing entertainment akin to that big fight in the BB house several years ago.

My favourite had to be the dude who wanted to (or did) marry his horse Pixel.

I always have love for Jerry ever since I found out he shagged a porn star who shares my RL name and her mum, at the same time.

Legendary.

Oh, I could provide you with a bunch of those ... some of the german versions of these shows are produced in the studios right next to our office, and on some days you can see the herds migrate from one studio to the other. Those are just those days where I feel that sudden urge to drive my car right through the crowd ;-D

I think the same people do the chat show rounds. They are professional chat show fuck ups!

Jezza Kyle is hilarious. I haven't managed to watch a whole show yet though, leave the room cringeworthy!

@Tim - you reckon they have any jobs going?

@Queenkellee - But it's akin to wandering in front of a camera and flapping your underpants about!

@Willis - I'm saying absolutely nothing.

@Kitty - Jerry Springer is a legend only equalled by Mr T and David Hisslesnaff.

@Timothy - Capture one and test it for lunacy!

@W*P*D - you reckon they have any jobs going?

I'm NOT going anywhere near these things!
