I just don't see why 'he' exists, other than to irritate the hell out of me!

Watching the Olympics on Sky.

Can I suggest their regular paper reviewer, Michelle Dewberry? What qualifies her to read bits out of the paper on the telly? She can barely resist following the lines with her finger.

I'll add Kevin Adams, not just because he's an idiot but because he's taken to wearing a silver tie clip that reflects the studio lights and blinds me in the mornings. Make him take it off, Sky people.

In the same vein: many of the panelists on The Wright Stuff, notably
Anthony Costa but as a rule of thumb no one who's been in a soap should not be encouraged to air their views on politics and social affairs.

A stray 'not' got in there.

I don't know nothing, me. I'd be ideal for The Wright Stuff.

Pickles77 · 28/07/2012 09:45

Thinking about it, Is that his real name? Confused

Mrsjay · 28/07/2012 16:21

He's the darling of ITV which says a lot about ITV! Holly Willoughby's husband producers that programme he did on Saturday night. Peurile crap that media types think is clever.

Oh so if we take out Holly's husband we can get rid of keith/leigh. Grin I see him on this morning and phil and holly gawfawing and i am just Confused

Mrsjay · 28/07/2012 16:23

"Anthony Costa"

do you mean Anthony Cotton ? what with you mentioning soaps Anthony costa is the ugly one from blue who shagged Jordan,

AnnieLobeseder · 28/07/2012 16:26

stacking - really? He actually sexually assaulted someone at his show? Shock I wish it had been me. I'd have had him arrested for it before he could blink and then he'd be out of our lives forever [wistful].

limitedperiodonly · 29/07/2012 08:48

mrsjay I can't remember. Please don't make me watch to check.

It's an Anthony and he's a sleb and he's an idiot. There are far too many of them doing paper reviews on 'news' programmes to tell them apart.

stackingtheshelves · 29/07/2012 10:24

Yes Annie

He did.

Her boyfriend sat next to her looking on, bemused.

He's a slimey horrible seriously not funny man!

Off our screens please!

RubyRosie · 29/07/2012 16:22

Why does he always wear that bandage thing on his wrist, is it part of the character (an allusion to too much wanking?) or does Leigh actually have a condition that means he has to wear it?

EnglishGirlApproximately · 29/07/2012 16:54

I thought I must be miserable and humourless until I read this - so glad it's not just me. Every time he's on my facebook is full of it and colleagues talking about it the next day.

It bothers me how many people let their young teenagers watch it. I really don't think I'm prudish or judgemental but I hear kids saying his 'catchphrases' and it does shock me.

AltruisticEnigma · 29/07/2012 21:58

Keith Lemon is vile.

End of story.

Not funny.
Not interesting.
Not original.
Not entertaining.
IS stupid.

So yeah...

He sucks.

RubyFakeNails · 29/07/2012 22:28

Can't believe this, I LOVE Keith Lemon and I think the last time I watched Celebrity Juice I may have slightly pissed myself. Dh and I would rush in to watch it!

If you don't like KL, what comediens do you like?

c4rnsi1lk · 29/07/2012 22:34

Wasn't Craig David actually on one of the Craig David sketches once? With kes. I'm sure I remember that. I liked his Jacko impersonation.

Heavensmells · 29/07/2012 22:42

I am with Ruby. Celebrity juice one of my favourite programmes.

I have a very immature sense of humour though!

RubyFakeNails · 29/07/2012 22:53

Craig might have been, I was never that big on Avid, but Keith makes me laugh so hard, he's just so inappropriate. I wouldn't even say I have an immature sense of humour I tend to laugh at everything, I'm normally quite dry but Keith Lemon makes me cackle!

thekidsrule · 29/07/2012 23:22

love keith but hate bo

Mellower · 29/07/2012 23:25

I know a guy who works with him, apparently he is quite "normal"! Hmm I cannot take to him, I have watched Celebrity juice a few times and find it funny but only because Hollywillbooby is so prim and proper on daytime Tv. Well I think that's why I find it funny! I don't go out of my way to watch him though.

MrsHelsBels74 · 30/07/2012 07:33

Comedians I do like:

Eddie Izzard
Mitchell & Webb
Russell Howard

Trying to think of more but it's a bit early. I like programs like QI, Mock The Week, Have I Got News For You for my humour. I've never actually watched Celebrity Juice, just the trailers for it make me Angry

PearSailor · 30/07/2012 07:37

Ooh, David Mitchell.
I would.

Kveta · 30/07/2012 07:44

I was saddened to find out that Leigh Francis, the epitome of unfunny, is the nephew of my favourite author of multiple racing-based crime fiction novels, Dick Francis.

MrsHels you seem to enjoy intelligent and surreal humour - not words that can be used to describe Keith Lemon (cruel & creepy best describe him).

c4rnsi1lk · 30/07/2012 10:31

I used to like Mock the week. It's a bit desperate now.

MrsHelsBels74 · 30/07/2012 14:52

And now I've seen a trailer for yet another one of his shows...WHY? Angry

OP posts:
RubyFakeNails · 30/07/2012 15:00

I'm a big QI fan and I used to like Mock the Week but I also think its got a tad tired and I cannot abide that bald short guy.

I love Mitchell & Webb and Russell Howard is funny, I don't like Eddie Izzard, but thats more to do with his voice.

Keith Lemon is funny you just have to see it as not serious and as a joke, its a character, like Sacha Baron Cohen's characters, they say 'awful' things but its part of the character and its funny.

MissKeithLemon · 30/07/2012 15:17
Hmm
