It’s a similar situation, in a sense, with people invited onto high-profile chat shows these days. In the days of chat shows like Parkinson and Russell Harty, people appeared, usually without anything to promote, and gave, in some cases, some heartfelt and intriguing interviews. These people, some of them great actors with long-standing careers, opened themselves up to give the most enlightening talks about their lives, with no payback of we can only talk about my latest DVD, or my latest book, like the people who appear on chat shows today usually do. For me, yet another example of the decline in quality of life in general, and the rise of the selfish, whats in it for me nature of today’s modern world.

They also command a very high 'fee' for said promotion of some populist shite.

She is doing documentaries about the old style pill and the damage it has done to women. I noticed her on Celeb Google Box last night with her new boyfriend Bobby, who is also her hairdresser.

Oh god, she’s not on there now as well, is she? Is there no escape? I like a bit of Gogglebox now and then - I’ll have to watch that episode with my finger over the fast forward button.

Her cat???? Oh no that was Minnie Caldwell in Corrie many many many years ago.

I cannot for the life of me remember her name. Yes, it is Katherine, she is a comedian Canadian but lives in the UK. I keep thinking Katherine Jenkins, but it is not her. Anyway, on Google box Celeb it just said Katherine and her husband Bobby. Of course, as I was laughing so much at Shaun Ryder and Bez from the Happy Mondays. When Davina popped up with her boyfriend, I just thought Bobby.

Shaun and Bez watching a show and commenting on it. Shaun said that is Vegas, we played there. Bez, I don't remember? Shaun, yes that hotel with all the slop machines, Bez oh.

The one who starred alongside Romesh Ranganathan in a comedy drama about a married couple, and insisted there was to be no touching throughout the filming. Ryan is her name, and I find her about as amusing as an audience with Rudolf Hess..Like so many of today’s alleged ‘comedians’ - comedy in the stand-up sense nowadays is about recounting dull and politically correct life experiences. It used to be about telling jokes with great timing - jokes that made you laugh.

You’ve just persuaded me to watch the episode despite DMcC. Those two are the best thing about the celeb version of Gogglebox. Those two and Mo Gillian & Babatunde (if they’re still on) with their impersonations and pee taking.

Katherine Ryan - yep, we're on the same page there - she is beyond unfunny, Sarah Pascoe is almost as bad, but at least her voice isn't quite so irritating . You're so right so much crap on the comedy circuit these days...and who ever told Emily Atack she was funny needs a ****** good talking to. How she got her own show commissioned is beyond me - I reckon a class of five year olds could come up with better material. (hey,maybe they did!)
Sarah Millican and her hubby Gary Delaney both hilarious, and Angela Barnes is pretty good imo but most of today's "comics" are the personification of a boring wokefest, and when they've run out of anything to say they'll grab the low hanging fruit and have a cheap dig at the Tories - how clever!!!

And that other Sarah…Geordie woman. Desperately unfunny. I have had more amusing outbreaks of dysentery.

Oh no..that is Sarah Millican...I love her...each to their own...but tbh her comedy is very heavy on female bodily functions!

 

[Deleted member 21838]

Victoria Wood was funny. Much missed for me.

“How was your day?”
“Can’t stop, love, the trailers have started”

If you know, you know……

Oh I like Katherine Ryan and her everyday anecdotes about her life experiences which I can relate to. I like a lot of different comedy styles though. Ricky Gervais is always my favourite, the man is a genius. I have no opinion about Davina, used her dvds a decade or more ago. Seems menopause is being commercialised everywhere - Primark are selling menopause nightwear and underwear.
But I disagree with the honours system especially if it uses the word “empire”. But I have already confessed to being anti monarchy.

A very funny guy - Gervais. Like most great comics, he does pathos extraordinarily well. Afterlife was a case in point and a work of genius in my view. Extras equally superb. A rare light of modern day humour in a very po-faced and woke ridden comedy world these days
