Who is JR? The only one i can think of is the 8 out of 10's OCD nerdy one, and i cannot believe that....

Finlesswonder · 16/09/2023 13:13

Sorry I forgot we were focusing on comedians so my JC who hates tories was a politician 😆

There's only one JC comic...

I think RB is being his usual narcissistic self and making it all about himself for the ego/attention kibbles.

Is RB still friends with NG(Brother-feuding Manc musician)? He always struck me as being basically a decent guy. Motormouth notwithstanding.

I was just wondering about this. They were super close for a while - around the time RB was being 'promiscuous' to use his own term.

Not him. One with a speech impediment who currently has had his TV show postponed....

Finlesswonder · 16/09/2023 13:15

@milafawny
JR.... Not necessarily a stand up... Think along the lines of interviews

HeadAgainstWall0923 · 16/09/2023 13:15

I think someone above said it’s a guy with a lisp and his own TV Chat show?

I still don’t know who though 😂

HeadAgainstWall0923 · 16/09/2023 13:07

Noooooooooooo

God I hope not.

I’m with you though, I cannot imagine that at all!

I was surprised too, but he is currently not doing any TV work (just like JR, DW,RB... )

Jonathan Ross. I'm not suggesting it is him and I don't think he's a comedian either.

kirinm · 16/09/2023 13:18

@lapsedbookworm Jonathan Ross has just finished a series of that song programme. And he tweeted about it yesterday.

What is it with the initials? If you're afraid of legal ramifications of speculating, don't. I'd be surprised if giving enough hints to explain who you're referring to (initials or more like 3 wheel van, or DW's sidekick) without writing the name is going to protect you.

I'm not sure how we've become a society where one establishment arm (MSM) can goad the public into speculating about famous people and other arms (Police, CPS, Judiciary) can apparently then prosecute for it. Kind of makes me angry. Channel 4 are so holier than thou, they should be ashamed of the way they've used a trojan horse to promote this horseshit.

Well said.

When I first saw the RB my heart started racing as I thought it meant Rob Brydon!

milafawny · 16/09/2023 13:20

Ahhhh, thank you!

Theyspunawebforme · 16/09/2023 13:20

@lapsedbookworm Who isn’t?

ZoeCM · 16/09/2023 13:20

I don't think this is a case of "some comedians slept with some girls". I think this is about serial rapists being protected because of their fame and wealth.

BJDev · 16/09/2023 13:21

JRM the politician

I thought rob beckett and refused to believe, the actual RB comes as no surprise whatsoever

EmmaGrundyForPM · 16/09/2023 13:24

Thank you @kirinm for not doing the ridiculous initials thing.

As someone said upthread, giving loads of identifying details along with initials isn't going to protect you if you make libellous comments. If you aren't making allegations, then you've nothing to worry about in using full names.

I do think that, if its a 90 minute exposee, then it's going to be darker than "a comedian had consensual sex with a fan" or "a TV presenter is a heavy drinker" which are some of the suggestions so far.

ellie09 · 16/09/2023 13:25

I think the only comedian I would be crushed by is Kevin Bridges, if anything ever came out about him I'd be devastated!

Boomboom22 · 16/09/2023 13:25

Jr and rb did that nasty phone call together. Think jc and dw do work together too.

Boomboom22 · 16/09/2023 13:27

I'm thinking the other take could be young men rather than women for me too?

I had mentioned James Cordon and his drinking, but don't think its necessarily the topic at hand, its more about why its increased recently - stress perhaps?

My friend is suspicious of RG from The Office but I refuse to believe this too!!!

I could see a couple mentioned doing that. Brand, back in the day, would have shagged anything that moved.

GellerYeller · 16/09/2023 13:30

@kirinm yes and I wanted to stress to all I’m not suggesting NG is implicated, absolutely.
