And Finally
Jack Dee makes Jedward cry. Or maybe he doesn’t. Who knows? Not me
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 1 October 2010
According to The Sun, the recording of a new episode of ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ got completely out of hand recently when guest host Jack Dee laid into guest panellists Jedward, leaving them a bit tearful. According to the tabloid, everyone was completely shocked that some novelty pop stars had come on the show only to have the piss taken out of them. This is, as I’m sure you all know, completely uncharacteristic of this programme, and certainly not what people tune in for.
A source who apparently works on the show said: “Jack went a bit overboard. It started out as good fun but soon turned a bit nasty. The boys knew they were going to get the piss taken out of them and were up for it. But Jack kept going at them relentlessly and it got to the point where he used some seriously strong language. The audience and other panellists got a bit uncomfortable. Even Jack realised he had gone too far and tried to pull it back towards the end”.
Clearly stunned and deeply offended by what had happened to them, Jedward told paper: “Jack Dee was a bit rude but we’ve had worse. At the end of the show he asked for a picture with us so we think he’s secretly a massive fan”.
Also backing up The Sun’s claims that the programme’s makers faced a huge struggle to edit the show into broadcastable shape, a spokesman for the Talkback production company said that Dee’s mocking of the duo was “harmless ribbing in-keeping with the tone of the show”.
Wow, I wouldn’t like to be Jack Dee right now, with all these people wandering around completely non-plussed by some things he said. The new series of ‘Never Mind The Buzzcocks’ is due to begin on 21 Oct but will be too offensive for any human to view directly.
