Are chat shows a good way to get paid for publicity for celebrities or are they just late night rubbish that no one really cares about?
The Jonathan Ross Show
Usually about an hours worth of Ross chatting and answering the questions himself with only five minutes of time left between all the guests. Mind you saying that it is incredibly addictive to watch and sometimes can be funny if you have a really famous movie star acting like a complete idiot on television.
Jeremy Kyle
This show is the equivalent of Americas Jerry Springer. Jeremy is never afraid to say what he thinks of his guests and has the ability to be able to get people off their bums and back into work. The show works so well as it is hilarious to see quite how badly people have messed up their lives in such a way that would seem absolutely impossible to achieve for any normal person. If you are sleeping around with so many people and not using protection, can you seriously expect not to have a brood of children?
The Charlotte Church Show
This show is more about music than it is about chatting; at least that is what Charlotte wants to happen with the new series that is planned. She has accepted that she is rubbish at the talking part of her show and now wants to have a bit of a music themed chat show. Sounds like it might as well be the Jools Holland show then. Has the Welsh woman gone absolutely crazy? Wales itself is a lovely place to visit and can be great for one of those family days out or even UK family holidays.
Loathe them or like them, television chat shows are here to stay. Many will cause great laughter, others controversy and some are just plain old rubbish. It is a bit difficult to actually complain though, as dont we all sit down and watch the programmes when they are on?
