TV Personalities That Don't Deserve Their Success

[UserSince2005]

I nice positive thread ahaha,

No, but which TV presenters or I guess other personalities on TV do you not think deserve the success/acclaim they receive.

[UserSince2005]

watching This Morning and cannot believe that Holly gets this gig.
She can barely form a sentence together that gives an opinion other than awwwww.

Holly is lovely and a good presenter, she's warm and friendly and makes people relax.............imo

What happened to him, I havent seen him on TV in a long time.

Good news!

Hell yeah.
He is all over the adverts as well.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Matt Hancock

[Mitchell]

I’m not quite sure, Rylan has worked his arse off for his career, and to get where he’s got to, and has remained very grounded, so I’d say he does deserve his success based off how hard he’s worked to get where he is, same with Holly. (Although obviously different career paths)

Does Antony Cotton count? :joker:

[Alf]

The large majority of current TV personalities, they're all chosen specifically and put there, because they're communists.

Has he? He literally went on any reality show that would have him and then milked his 15 minutes :think:

[Niamh.]

And he totally ruined Big Brother's Bit on the Side by barely talking about the HMs and talking about himself for 80% of the show

20 posts in and nobody has said Leigh Francis yet, I expected to see his name.

Leigh Francis is Keith Lemon for those that didn't know. I'm sure you all did.

I like Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis (I know I'm in the minority)

[Alf]

I like Keith Lemon/Leigh Francis (I know I'm in the minority)I used to like him but he lost my respect when he apologised, with tears for his Bo Selects characters.

Did he? I must have missed thatLast year, when all the BLM thing started up here, after the George Floyd incident.

[Alf]

Why though? Isn't it just like a spitting image type show? Or have I missed somethingProbably given orders too, they needed to push a narrative, and using celebrities is how they do it best.

Probably told to apologise or lose his career.

Of course, that's just my guess, I could be wrong.

[Mitchell]

Has he? He literally went on any reality show that would have him and then milked his 15 minutes :think:

Yeah imo, he did start off on Reality TV, but for a while he was pretty much working 7 days a week when BOTS was on, and he was doing other shows, I totally get he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but a lot of the time I forget that he even started on X Factor, but it takes a driven person to turn those 15 minutes into a very successful career.

[Shaun]

Rylan's a natural presenter and effortlessly charming and funny... great on his Radio 2 slot as well, will never understand why he gets hate when there are so many soulless charisma-vacuums doing the rounds as well (Marvin & Rochelle, Ben Shepherd)

Michael McIntyre stands out to me... I don't hate the guy, his stand-up is... okay (nowhere near the best, very safe and predictable) but he's a ****ing awful presenter, too overbearing, too camp and OTT.

David Walliams and Amanda Holden are good shouts too. He's a one-note Kenneth Williams impersonator which doesn't sit right with me since he isn't actually gay, and she's just... awful.

[Braden]

I have to say Rylan, too. I just find him so insincere and try-hard, and he usually ruins whatever show he's on/presenting. Not to mention he has one of the most jarring voices in show-business.

[Black Dagger]

Also coming here to defend Rylan. He's a natural in any role he takes on. His radio 2 slot is one of the only times I listen to radio and hes always seemed enthusiastic about any role hes been given.

Especially Eurovision. I cant wait for him to take Norton's gig.

[Alf]

I don't mind Rylan, sometimes. At times he does have a good sense of humour, but I can sometimes see the bitchy side in him. I dislike when he talks through his nose too, hopefully he's sorted that out by now.

Agreed i like Rylan and listen to him on t' radio - i like when he calls his mum :hee:

[Niamh.]

I guess Rylan is just a bit marmite then :shrug:

[Nicky91]

Shane Richie

literally desperate to appear on many shows, but then again i would hardly call him a tv personality since he doesn't have much of a personality :laugh:

I couldnt believe Gordon Ramsey has turned quiz show host. That will be a mess.

[DouglasS]

Megan McKenna... talentless in every form

Has tried out on most talent shows and failed and so decided to scream on tv to have one last attempt of becoming famous

[Alf]

Some of the comediens on comedy panel shows. Some of them are stealing a wage. Even "Have I got news for you" Went down the toilet. How many "Orange man bad" jokes can you tell before people get bored and switch off?

not in the slightest bit funny and i cant fathom why he gets tv time...

[LaLaLand]

Amanda Holden...

Amen!

I like her but she’s basically famous for almost ruining Les Dennis with that whole Neil Morrisey affair let’s be honest.

The Grimley’s was the last/only good show she’s ever “starred in” and that wasn’t even that good in hindsight.

Coleen Nolan.

A vapid, evil bully. I know Kim Woodburn is very confrontational and all but the Loose Women episode when Coleen and her thieving scum sister ganged up on Kim while she explained her horrific upbringing and took turns rolling their eyes at her was absolutely disgusting. Coleen should have been fired for that display.

Lorraine Kelly

She's so false it makes me cringe watching her crawl up every guests arse. I don't hate her like I used to but christ she's insanely overrated.

Gok Wan

It's not stylish yet presents fashion segments on This Morning? You can just tell he's dead arrogant and loves himself too.

[Elliot]

I hated piers Morgan on BGT, I hated his radio show, I hated his tabloid work, I hate his position on good morning britian. Slimy man with a disingenuous claim to fame and pedals as whatever to make a quick buck at the time

Craig David said he totally ruined his career.

She used Les Dennis as a platform...they were an 'odd' couple and he was heartbroken (mind you hes a bit of a twit)... but seriously she has no talent and shes a useless presenter...

[hijaxers]

I guess Rylan is just a bit marmite then :shrug:

He's vegamite to me ~ not to my taste at all and he's on too many shows .

[Amy Jade]

Sam Smith

So annoying and pretentious and honestly has about 2 decent songs and the rest are shıt

Is he a TV personality though? I thought he was just a singer.

i'd have David Walliams removed from TV forever , if i could .

[Alf]

Amanda Holden was very good as "Miss Titley" in "The Grimley's" but that was years ago and now she's just a waste of space.

Poor Les!

[Mystic Mock]

I don't really begrudge people their success.

If I were to pick anyone out it would probably be Jeremy Clarkson as he is quite unlikable, and I do find him to be a weak Presenter for Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

I’ve watched one episode with him presenting Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and he was quite impatient with someone trying to make a big decision...he’s an arrogant twat :laugh:

[GoldHeart]

Why though? Isn't it just like a spitting image type show? Or have I missed something

There was nothing racist about Bo selecta it was just crude and imo not that funny , i never got why it was popular as it was cringy and very silly . Especially the way he had to hold together those ugly masks falling to bits with glasses :rolleyes: .

If anything he should of apologised for making Craig David feel like crap as he clearly offended him , as he relentlessly mocked and embarrassed him and turned him into a ridiculous meme. Craig David disappeared for ages before he made a comeback because of it .

And yes i know Lee Francis took the mickey out of every celebrity and had no filter , but he did it more so with Craig David with the whole ' Bo selecta' shtick .

[Kazanne]

Lorraine Kelly and the two muppets on GMB Morgan and Reid.

[Withano]

Rylan must be one of the luckiest people alive honestly

He deserves none of this

[Mystic Mock]

I’ve watched one episode with him presenting Who Wants To Be a Millionaire and he was quite impatient with someone trying to make a big decision...he’s an arrogant twat :laugh:

I think we might've caught the same one.

It's hard to tell though because he looks so disinterested in the project when I saw him on the Show that he might be like that to every contestant.:laugh:

And I agree with you that he is an arrogant twat.

[GoldHeart]

Jeremy Clarkson is the worst TV host ever ! , Of all the people they could of had and they chose that arrogant useless idiot .

Also when he gets the 'ask the host' option, he hardly ever knows the question unless it's about cars or if it's a 50/50 guess .

I saw it the other day when he was asked about Meryl Streep movies , he started to bash her 'mamma mia' movie :bored: instead of just giving the answer right away.

He's so unprofessional and definitely doesn't care about the show or the contestants.

[Oliver_W]

It's not Bo Selecta's fault Craig David's career failed, Francis didn't write his songs :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

But anyway, he has nothing to apologise for when it comes to Mel B or Craig David - the "impressions" had nothing to do with race, and even less to do with the celebs themselves, both of them could have been absolutely anyone.

Trisha is a bit dodgy, turning her into a caricature of a stereotypical Jamaican woman.

Like you I think it doesn't much matter whether I like them or not.
There'll be those who are liked and disliked, whether they deserve any success is not down to my view.

However I have to agree with you re Jeremy Clarkson.
I REALLY intensely dislike that man.
I wouldn't watch a thing he's involved with and haven't.

I wouldn't have watched a celebrity BIg Brother had he been in one.

[AnnieK]

I actually quite like Rylan...he knows he has had a licky break and seems pretty sincere with it.

I have total irrational dislike of Amanda Holden, can't tell you why but I've never warmed to her.

[AnnieK]

Michael McIntyre makes me laugh....

I liked him when he first came on the scene but now he's almost become a caricature of himself. He also makes me anxious when he paces up and down during his stand up. :laugh:

I'm surprised Mel B saw the funny side ,that character of her was grotesque that he created.

I didn't know that about Trisha , that wouldn't of aged well . But I'm not really surprised as this is Lee Francis we're talking about who always use to push boundaries.
I find his Michael Jackson impressions cringy af aswell.

Even the Keith Lemon movie was a flop and just a waste of time , the Jokes were stupid and not funny and he just relied on smut and crudeness .

[Marsh.]

I will go with Rylan me me me Clarke

:clap1:

[Marsh.]

Callum Best....I mean as much as I like him...WHAT HAS HE DONE?

Has he had success?

I can't imagine he calls 2 stints on CBB and Ex on the Beach a successful career?

[Marsh.]

Why though? Isn't it just like a spitting image type show? Or have I missed something

It wasn't a big deal. He basically apologised to Trisha Goddard after she spoke about the racist abuse she was on the receiving end of after his piss takes of her went to air and has said he regrets how ignorant he was of how public representation of minorities affected their real lives.

[rusticgal]

I think you will find he has been on quite a few Reality TV shows in fact he has appeared on about 45. So not only is he a celebrity...he is a successful reality star. He made a career of it...I would think he has earned a pretty penny.

[Marsh.]

I meant I can't imagine he discusses his TV work as a career. :hee:

I have no doubt he's made a fortune from them.

Its amazing what you can do with a famous parent. He has no discernible talent...or personality. He has made a career out.of it though so fair play to him

He has made a career as a reality TV star for the last 15 years since the age of 25. :hee:

Oh I wasn't aware he apologized to Trisha, I thought it was just Mel B!

I'm glad though, Trisha was pretty much the worst one he did.

[Bollo]

Well I'm not one to judge on who 'deserves' their success as obviously there is an audience for certain people otherwise they wouldn't be on TV... but the people I can't stand to watch and turnover if they come on are;
Paddy McGuiness
Peter Kaye
James Corden
Lee Evans
Ross Noble
Clare Balding
Rosie Jones
Bird off the one show

Like others before I also have no time for Leigh Francis & Holly Willoughby...

[rusticgal]

Series of random jobs isn't much of a career. :hee:


Why don’t you stick with the topic of the thread instead of debating someone’s career and whether you think it’s a career or not. Its my opinion on the topic matter...if you don’t like it bad luck.

[Marsh.]

Actually it WAS a big deal Marsh , but I wasn't aware at first how badly he mocked Trisha as I never really watched Bo selecta . And I was more familiar with his other grotesque portrayals of Mel B , Craig David & Michael Jackson.

If you watch life stories with Trisha ,she explains how her kids received racist remarks of people mimicking terrible Jamaican accents of "rice & peas" . Plus she herself got treated badly aswell.

Leigh Francis' Trisha sketches are cringy and not funny , plus she doesn't even have a Jamaican accent :facepalm: . So it just ended up reinforcing embarrassing black stereotypes. So yeah it's aged badly .

[Marsh.]

Actually it WAS a big deal Marsh

I meant Keith Lemon apologising wasn't the big deal the other poster was making it out to be. As though he was being forced to apologise for something he didn't need to.

He acknowledged his mistake which is fair play.

[GoldHeart]

I meant Keith Lemon apologising wasn't the big deal the other poster was making it out to be. As though he was being forced to apologise for something he didn't need to.

He acknowledged his mistake which is fair play.

People slated him for apologising probably because they themselves didn't see Bo selecta as offensive.

And because when there's a public apology , there's a hint of scepticism . Probably because we're so use to seeing PR questionable set ups.

But Trisha has clearly accepted his apology netherless and moved on so yeah :shrug: .

[Marsh.]

Yep, they don't like to acknowledge that something they found funny was racist. It's a form of defensiveness.

At first I thought he was apologizing for the Mel B stuff, and doing that would be a bit "virtue signal"ish because there's nothing racial about that "impression". So yeah slating him for grovelling over that would be fair play.

But Trisha? Even at the time that was cringey...
