America's Got Talent

Relaxing at home on a Friday evening, the husband and I idly switch to ITV2 and find 'America's Got Talent'. Now, we have on occasion found 'Britain's Got Talent' quite amusing, resurrecting as it does the old-fashioned variety/talent show, so we thought it would be interesting to see what they do in the States.
The interesting thing about AGT is who the hosts are....
Instead of Simon Cowell, we have ... David Hasselhoff (squee!), instead of Amanda Holden, we have Sharon Osborne, and yes, Piers Morgan crops up again. (How, how, how did PM become famous in the States? Most odd).
The piece de resistance however, is the behind the scenes presenter. No Ant and Dec fo AGT ... it's none other than .... Jerry Springer. Is this a move up? a move down?
Odd. Just odd.

Heroes

Most odd. Doctor Who (Christopher Eccleston) has just popped up as the invisible man, and Evil Sherry Palmer (TM) of 24 has popped up as a psychiatrist. Odd, but diverting to have on in the background while blogging.

Ruddy Hell! It's Harry and Paul

Awful title, pretty funny programme. I did not need to see the final Laurel and Hardy sketch though. If you are planning on watching the repeat, avoid the final sketch - definitely taking advantage of being beyond the watershed.

Gervais, Travolta & Ross

All dancing on Friday Night with Jonathan Ross

RG doing 'the dance' from the Office.
JT reprising 'the dance' from Saturday Night Fever
JR running in, lying on his back in a little ball shouting 'Spin Me'.

V.funny.

Oooh, Comic Relief does The Apprentice

Sir Alan making jokes about buying peerages with Alistair Campbell.
Alistair Campbell negotiating extremely well with Karren Brady.... (you can have the dodgems, we'll have the next three.... - and they went with it!!!)
Boys Team: Alistair Campbell, Piers Morgan, Rupert Everett (who's just admitted to stage fright and wants to leave.....), Danny Baker, Ross Kemp...
Girls Team: Cheryl Tweedy (Mrs Cole, thankyou), Karren Brady, Trinny, Jo Brand, and Maureen Lipman.
Boys have taken the best rides.
Girls are trying to sell tickets to celebrities like.... er... Ashley Cole.
Hilarious. Must stop blogging about it. Hardly edifying.
...
Eek Maureen Lipman swearing....
