Talk:Jeremy Kyle

Being irresponsible by population experts

Having a 4 child family in the modern day and age makes him a bad role model as the environmentally impact is going to be huge according to population experts. The reason behind his show is that fits the Daily Mail and Tory agenda which is to stereotype and exclude a group of people, the economic poor, from what the Tory sees as limited resources. There are a good number of economic poor people who are not as irresponsible as Kyle.

He can afford to support them so why not let it be his decision. It's those that can't afford to support their children that you should be bothered about Mushmagic (talk) 13:17, 8 May 2016 (UTC)

Suggestions

On todays episode of The Jermey Kyle Show it was revealed that his wife is pregnant with this forth child, can this be added to the family life section Matthewdoyle (talk) 10:11, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

We'd regard that as a self-published source and it would be better to wait until it's reported in some other kind of phallus. --Rodhullandemu 13:20, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Suggest that Professional life could be split into Radio career and TV career. Kittybrewster 15:05, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Agreed Oliver Keenan 10:30, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Obviously merge them. Great man one career Why doesn't Harriet, his daughter from his first marriage get mentioned in the stats box at the top right? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.61.87 (talk) 03:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

You're scum...

...When does he ever say this? I watch his show often and never once, to that level of rudeness, have heard him say "You're Scum!" to people. I could be wrong though and it wouldn’t really surprise me. Has anyone actually heard this catch phrase from him?81.111.221.105 00:54, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

I have funnily enough! Click here... --David 17:20, 17 July 2006 (BST)

That is very funny, but you know its not actually Jeremy Kyle, right? Jdcooper 15:27, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

have never heard him say that

I don't think he's ever actually said 'scum' on his show. That's just in the Dead Ringers parody.

Stubbed and biased

I don't see why you should make majority of the article about his phrases, maybe if you mentioned it briefly and listed about 5 common ones.

Don't make such a big deal out of it. GrahamGRA - 01:14 GMT 30/07/2006

Links

Why are all the links (well most) promoting the same persons websites about Jeremy Kyle (youtube/myspace) etc. The author of this seems a little bit obssessed with JK —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Coastered (talk • contribs) 15:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC).

Drinking game

DRINKING GAME - where is it? It's supposed to be on wikipedia AaronRosenthal 10:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

• Why is it "supposed" to be on wikipedia? If you can find sourced evidence of its existence/significance then by all means add it yourself... Jdcooper 04:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Can someone please re-add this? Thanks

• By all means, if you find us a reliable source (not YouTube, MySpace, Facebook, your blog, etc). That is the sole most important criterion for information here. Jdcooper 13:11, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Wife pregnant

Jeremy stated on a programme aired 4th March 09, that he is due to have his 3rd baby with his second wife (4th child). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rcookie1 (talk • contribs) 09:54, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Popular with students

Yes, it is. It's also popular with quite a lot of other people - is there any particular reason for singling out students in the paragraph about the show being described as "human bear-baiting"? Doesn't seem relevant to me. 87.194.229.16 (talk) 01:27, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Where was he born?

The July 2006 Daily Mail article "The Secrets of The Jeremy Kyle Show" says he was born in the town of Reading, Berkshire, which is outside of London, but an article in The Independent ("TV presenter Jeremy Kyle: Meet the ringmaster") in September 2007 states (as Wikipedia does) that he was born in Canning Town, a borough within London! I begin thinking that it could be because of Wikipedia error (the article was first created in October 2005), so which is more accurate, or should we mark it as disputed? --Andrewlp1991 (talk) 01:23, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

But then I found this tabloid article (from The Sun specifically), "Kyle: Human bear-baiter", that claims that he was born in Canning Town and grew up in the "West Country". I'm looking up Google Maps and find that Reading is west of London. And Kyle attended high school in Reading. So maybe the Daily Mail was wrong.-Andrewlp1991 (talk) 01:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

In interview, Jeremy Kyle HIMSELF says he was born in 'St.Saviour's Road, near Coley Park, Reading'. And I guess he knows his place of birth more precisely than some know-it-all Wikipedia editor. This will always be a problem with Wikipedia. It's full of personal opinions and local gossip. For instance, a local cafe owner in the north-west of England claims that Jeremy Kyle is a regular customer in his 'bistro' (chuckle!), although no-one has ever seen him there. This is being rumoured by other customers, so will soon become a 'local myth'. It will then be regarded as 'true' and Jeremy Kyle might even appear as a 'famous resident' on the Wikipedia article about that small town. Leigh is the town and I doubt very much if Jeremy Kyle has ever heard of it, let alone frequented a backstreet cafe there. 92.239.71.235 (talk) 20:26, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Another of your opinions Jemmy? Koncorde (talk) 10:27, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Actually, no. Here's the interview, in which Jeremy Kyle tells where he was born - "[1]". As for the Leigh claim, the 'Bella Bistro' is the one. It's in Railway Road, where all the stars hang out! Get this - the Mining Engineer who has overseen the Chilean mine rescue, Laurence Golborne, is now being claimed, by the Wiganers, as having a 'Wigan Connection'. It's where he's got his mining expertise from, they say, the 'Wigan' coal mines (although not many ever existed in real life). 92.239.71.235 (talk) 17:38, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I never doubted his place of birth, your "opinion" is clearly everything outside of your actual relevant info. Isn't it based on your link with apparently some Wigan people? At least we know in this case you actually believe this cafe exists in Leigh. Koncorde (talk) 17:55, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

'Writing' career

Hi, JK writes a column for Pick Me Up (magazine) every week - very much a text version of his tv show -. I jave included it in a new section unde tv career, but i can't find the date that he began writing to column. The magazine was first published in January 2005, but i don't know if he was already signed up then. I'll kjeep looking for a start date, but if anyone finds one in the meantime, could you update please. CHEERS! (FOROGT TO SIGN) Darigan (talk) 10:23, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

JK in the US

PR agent in the house

"He is seemingly unafraid of reprisal from his guests, believing that speaking his mind is better than holding his peace"

- Now tell me that sentence was not carefully burnished by the evil keyboard of a PR representative. Plus, leaving aside the image of a heroic figure atop a mountain of chav dilemmas, there is a citation needed surely? Has he confirmed that he holds this opinion and, if so, where is the source? The whole article is a bit astroturfy in places, tbh. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.209.176 (talk) 14:31, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Picture

Surely there should be a picture of Jeremy Kyle.

As Jeremy is a living person, the image would have to be a free image in the public domain, something like a screenshot of him would be a copyright violation and would be deleted from Wikipedia. I would suggest that you read Wikipedia:Image use policy. If you own an image of Jeremy Kyle that is in no way copyrighted and complies with this policy then please feel free to add it.--5 albert square (talk) 13:56, 19 February 2011 (UTC)

Why is his TV section only criticism from the TV show article?

It seems a bit pointless to make references to criticisms of the TV show, instead of outlining how and when he started. It doesn't feel right.86.30.184.79 (talk) 10:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Accent

He's a public school boy. Does he fake this Cockney accent? (Or whatever it is supposed to be - the glottal stops are unmistakable and unmistakably non-public school.)

Semi-protected edit request on 15 May 2019

Under the heading 'Television Career' the final sentence could be a reference to ITV's statement regarding the show's closure:

Change from: The recording and broadcast of The Jeremy Kyle Show was suspended in May 2019 after a guest died shortly after appearing on an edition of the series. A review of the episode was expected to occur before any resumption of the programme's transmission.[2] However, on 15 May 2019, ITV confirmed the show had ceased production with immediate effect.[21]

They also said that they will continue to work with Jeremy Kyle on other projects. DaviesEmma (talk) 13:35, 15 May 2019 (UTC)
