Topic: Jeremy Kyle #CANCELLED

[fatguyranting]

That Graham bell end who is supposed to be the leader of the support team needs striking off any professional register the chancer has managed to get himself on and also repeatedly kicked in the nuts for crimes against therapy.

We were just talking about this and one of the inmates (not allowed to use that anymore) residents I work with said he (and plenty of others here) watch JK as it makes him feel a lot better about his life and situation. Doing your umpteenth stint inside with a bust leg from falling off the roof you were nicking lead from? At least you're not on Jeremy Kyle!!

He's right though, when you think about it.

No I know! He was serious.

Give it 6 months and Kyle will return on Five with a strangely similar show.

[derek stitt]

One ofy colleagues used to work as a runner on JK, with his main responsibilities being to usher the audience into their seats, keep them quiet when they needed to be and get them clapping when the cameras started to roll.

He said that the little backroom where guests who were having breakdowns could escape to was only separated from the filming area by Japanese style paper screens, and could hear everything going on outside when Jezza came into see them doing his concerned face.

My friend said he left after leaving someone in bits backstage,and having to go out and whip the audience into a frenzy of clapping and "Jezza, Jezza, Jezza"-ing knowing full well that he could be heard by the guest he'd just left.

He says 90% of staff leave permanently after month with the remainder staying for years, and I can well believe it.

That’s just child like cruelty, viscous playground bullying commodified. I bet you Kyle sees himself as the victim in all of this, the cunt.

Tory MPs calling for it to be cancelled as they are exploiting some of the most vulnerable people in society has to be the greatest example of lacking in self awareness ever in these most un self aware times.

I have no insight into the 'guest recruitment process, but the contestants aren't forced to go on there, Kyle doesn't do a Daz doorstep challenge(as far as we know) and tell them to come up with a story :' My grandma adopted a goose because my father slept with the international space station'. Is it low brow sure, but free will et al.

Gambling is problem free, in that case, and can be advertised anywhere.

Imagine if your partner told you to accompany them on there. If you knew your conscience was clear you'd be asking them serious questions or telling them to get out.

If you're born poor and stupid, you've already lost the lottery of life. Why do we want to make it even worse for them?

[sponk]

I also wonder what people get out of going on the show. Probably local notoriety for a while / 15 minutes of fame. I've known a few people who were on it and they did get a glint in their eye when people asked them about it. As far as I'm aware their experiences on the show were relatively tame though.

I'm just surprised it's taken so long for someone to be driven to suicide (if that's actually what has happened) by the show, and even more surprised that nobody has tracked JK down for bloody revenge after he humiliated them ON NATIONAL TELEVISION. Especially considering the type of guests he had.

Jon Ronson here detailing how someone who was a guest booker on a programme similar to Kyle would ask prospective guests what medication they were on to vet whether they were the right amount of mental.

I wonder who's going to present the replacement show. Pamela Stephenson? Stacey Dooley? Richard Madeley?

[imitationleather]

Kilroy is buried in mothballs somewhere. Dig him out and get him back on the telly.

Jesus, Kilroy was a socialist according to Wikipedia.

I thought he basically fell out with ukip and made a shit photocopy of it and called it veritas?

Nigel Farage.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Having him Hector the vulnerable, poor and stupid reduced to the confines of a media city studio would be an improvement, especially if the votes s are only via sms.

[gout_pony]

Shemima Begum.

Make me chuckle. I needed a chuckle.

There was something Morrisian about the final quote in this BBC article: "You can't go. Have you forgotten what she said about you? Get back in there and tell her what you think!"

Unsurprising and depressing stuff otherwise.

It's free will to a certain extent. People aren't coerced into appearing on pain of death it's true, but from what my friend says the guest booking team don't rely on putting adverts out and sitting back and waiting for people to respond, but actively make efforts to contact people who they have seen in those dogshit mags with stock photos of smiling models on the cover and shrieking headlines of I SLEPT WITH GHOST BUT WAS IT REALLY MA SISTER? They entice the people to appear with promises of a good old booze up in a Manchester hotel, and all of the ply them with cigs and drink while they're down filming.

Regardless of whether you agree with that as a recruitment process, their aftercare process seems essentially nonexistent, and they encourage vulnerable people to getting needlessly into heatless and very public conflicts, and don't give them any help before or after to deal with potential mental health issues.

Fuck the fuckers.

Did anyone listen to Jezza's Confessions, his radio phone in show in the early 00's? I did a bit and I remember liking it / him, though I was probably a pre-teen at the time. One for the Obvious Things thread because it took me several years to realise both Jezzas were the same.

[Sebastian Cobb]

I remember slightly before that, when he was Jezza 'Late and Live' on BRMB. He was definitely less of a sanctimonious prick, back then.
