Jeremy Kyle

SPM1959

I've been off work for a few weeks and have got into watching Jeremy Kyle on a daily basis.

For the life of me, I can't understand why anyone would go on such a programme. Their private lives are broadcasted on national TV and they leave themselves open for abuse/humiliation/ridicule from Kyle himself.

I understand the guests get some payment but surely it can't be worth it.

If you don't watch it you won't get vexed about how humans degrade themselves so much .

I'm not getting 'vexed' I just can't understand why someone would put themselves in that position.

I may be wrong. But some might do it for the money.. they dont care about the national humiliation.

They get paid 100 sterling per person plus expenses to appear on the show, it's scripted to a point and also heavily edited.

There's been several law suits against the production company.

The man is a genius.

I love watching the clips on YouTube they are comedy gold.

Given some of the AH threads & discussions in the past, perhaps Mr. Kyle would be considered tame in comparison.

You know you live in a bad area when you see him in it with a net.

Yep. Some great clips on there. "Can you even spell Father?" is a particular favourite of mine.

Some people just need a way to vent themselves in public..

Americans have Jerry, English have Jeremy and we have Joe.

Well, Joe is a saint compared to the other two cretins;).

I think Jerry is more honest that it is for entertainment purposes only. Kyle pretends that he is trying to help the people on the show.

I know a girl who wanted to on it to get her child and boyfriend back. Very low intelligence and desperation are a terrible mix.

Race to the bottom for the guests.

Cee-Jay-Cee

If you are on welfare, ugly as pure sin, uneducated and ignorant, a junky/alcoholic and missing several teeth then you too could avail of the opportunity to appear on JK.

Where do they advertise for guests? They're all quite scary.

He reads out contact numbers on the show.

Most of them are skangers, they don't care how they look on the show, it's money for a few more cans of Dutch Gold.

Jeremy Kyle is an egotistical gobsheet.

"Put something on the end of it"in a voice filled with contempt followed by rapturous applause. Almost every episode I've seen. Strangely compelling. People with a nauseating sense of entitlement coupled with zero self esteem.TV gold.

What's got 20 faces and 3 teeth?

An episode of the Jeremy Kyle show.

Mince Pie

I can't watch it. I find it utterly depressing and just cannot fathom how popular it is. Only time I've been subjected to it is at work in a breakroom and its always on with people frothing at the mouth watching it. I'd rather stick rusty spoons in my eyes than subject myself to watching pondlife on the TV and that's just describing Vile himself. Odious little man.

Compelling is correct. I watch it every day now for the same reasons.

I think they're both twats, tbh.

Gerry is a sleazebag twat, and Jeremy is a self-righteous, pompous twat, imo.

Hard to say which of them are the most sickening, but I think Gerry just edges it for his obvious enjoyment of other peoples misery.

Hahaha.

It is awful to say this, but I think some of the guests are lacking so little intelligence they don't realise he is mocking them. I think many of them love the attention. It makes them famous in their estate.

Steve_Carella

One of the worst shows on the telly. It was actually quite good for the first short while when it started, it seemed like a genuine attempt to reach out and talk people through problematic situations that they were in that others could identify with.

But then they seemed to decide that the way forward was the lowest common denominator. The lowest of the low, people at the absolute bottom of the barrel who will come on and rant endlessly about being in horrendous situations that I couldn't dream up if I tried, all hosted by this smarmy git with a smug superior attitude who is only interested in dragging his guests' lives through the gutter for the cheapest form of entertainment you could imagine.

I love it!

boobar

Tis car crash stuff really

Lots complain about this low brow entertainment but almost everyone will watch it at some stage or another.

Cheese Wagstaff

Can't find it on Youtube, but the story goes...

A hilarious Jamaican man named 'Spurgeon' (his actual name) was doing the lie detector for cheating on his wife. He passed the first question asking if he had kissed/had sexual contact with anyone apart from the one woman his wife knew about. Cue him celebrating wildly, very vocal and thrilled to bits. Second question: Have you had sexual intercourse with anybody else?

"Spurgeon refused to answer the question and later admitted to having sex with five different women."

Cue Spurgeon's face just dropping. He must have forgotten about the other questions, poor lad.

You always notice the huge visual difference between the audience and the people on the stage. The crowd look like respectable human beings whereas the guests look like your typical scumbag. No shame from them at all.

In the front row of one show I watched I spotted 5 or 6 ladies of Asian persuasion all wearing their headscarves.They were riveted by the puerile carry on of the infidels who live amongst them. Great stuff.

Asia is a big place. Do you mean from the middle east or muslim?

mikeym

If only Jeremy knew how good the scroungers have it over here.

ireland.man

The man should be a guest on his own show. Kyle had a huge gambling problem, stole from his wife and repeatedly cheated on her. I would never judge another person normally but by god he has some neck! The only difference between him and his guests is his middle class appearance.

Saralee4

I think the guests go on the show because they almost become a local celebrity in their area.

It seems like a lot of them are alcoholics, drug addicts or cheaters with mental health problems.

Jeremy kyle abuses this situation for his "show" and plays the good guy trying to help when really he is just exploiting them.

He doesn't really care about them. Sure you wouldn't have a show like that if you genuinely cared. Imagine the embarrassment the guests children go through, the fact the guest is going to have a hard time getting a job after going on the show etc.

anybody who benefits from "helping" someones misfortunes publicly ie with viewer ratings, fame etc is not a genuine nice person them self.

If jeremy kyle knows better and knows how to help these people then he would not be in the business of exploiting them.

Well let me see.......based on the few seconds they were on screen, it would be hard for me to pinpoint their origin to any more than 100 miles square....but I would hazard a guess at saying they were all British born Asians. I don't believe they have a problem with that description. You do though. What problem do you have?

annascott

They don't have any self respect and most are ESN.

You said "Asian persuasion" but also mentioned "headscarves" and "infidels" so I was trying to clarify whether Asian really meant muslim women from the middle east or somewhere else in Asia which is Earth's largest and most populous continent (4 billion people+) stretching from Istanbul to Moscow to Vladivostok to Tokyo to Kuala Lumpur to Singapore to Bangalore to Riyadh.
