I have a theory that Clare from my wife in kids got surgery cause she was insecure about how she looks and micheal and jay play into it Because they want to teach her a lesson and she only dates tony because he's a Christian and loves her beyond her looks
Honestly, do you know what a conspiracy theory is??????? Wtf is wrong with you? One of these is maybe a conspiracy theory? The incompetence blows my mind. A RUMOUR IS NOT A CONSPIRACY THEORY! Morons.
Seen him on the masterchef junior and he’s so lovely to those kids. If they get upset when things go wrong he goes to them comforts them then brings them back to work on their dish. Not to mention when instead of just dumping the chef from Hell’s Kitchen he offered to pay for them to go to culinary school and the chef who was blind how nice he was to them cooking with her challenges
What’s crazy is when something like Cosby or Diddy comes out and everyone is shocked but when you go back people were telling you all along but everyone thought it was a joke…
Umm like Epstein trump hugh Hefner Weinstein woody Allen etc. pretty much all of white Hollywood that seems to slide right past everyone! Cosby just so happened to want to purchase a network “NBC” all the women that partied at the playboy mansion decided 30yrs later they should say he took advantage of them🤔 it’s extremely unbelievable! Yet if u want to destroy a clean image, change the statue of limitations without any evidence & convict just on hearsay🙄 bs
I can confirm the Pawn Stars conspiracy! My dad’s best friend was on as an expert frequently. They would hire an actor to bring in a rare historical item and my dad’s friend would get called in to give it a value. It’s was my dad’s friends item the whole time. That’s why he was the expert and always knew the value of everything they called him in for lol
I was a top Hollywood porp man for 36 years, Hate to break it to you, Nothing about reality TV is real, and Hollywood is probably the most dishonest industry there is. It's finally coming to light. 2 words, "Paid actors" and the news isn't that far from it either. I am actually surprised the public is so gullible.
RIGHT! I used to love that show and while it was clear they went super over the top with the customizations, the amount of tv trickery was kind of shocking when I learned it.
I just seen a video like this about Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. They totally screwed those poor people over. Some had foreclosures, others had to sell their homes, most went into debt.
John Amos was right. The show had real substance when it focused on the parents and the whole family and their experiences. When it became all about JJ’s silliness, Good Times lost its impact.
The ONLY reason anyone watched was for JJ. We weren't interested in the lectures of Micheal. We are still not interested in lectures by anyone else. TV shows do not have "impact". They exist for entertainment.
I watched the show in reruns as a little kid. The "messages" definitely made an impression on me. All of Mr. Lears shows(all on reruns😊) were a part of having important examples and discussions with my parents that made me I think, a good person and a good parent to my own kids❤. That man made a difference in countless lives with his work ❤@@Cassandra-..-
@@BubbaThaumaturge maybe to mindless sheep like you. They have an "impact" whether you're consciously aware of it or not. For example, ever heard of propaganda? What a mind-boggingly absurd comment.
You missed one of the craziest ones ever put on television. In Canada there was a show called da Vinci's inquest and on the show they had a re occurring show theme about missing women that ended up mirroring the Robert Pickton Serial killer case about 10 years later. This was because the writers went out and spoke to people who lived on the streets at the time and the police didn't and completely missed a real life serial killer when the TV show basically solved it well before the police knew it existed.
Not shocking in the least. Look up the Highway of Tears in northern BC, how the cops KNEW up to 120 First Nations women had been unalived by males, and did nothing, lying and claiming the women did it to themselves. Members of the rghti wngi government deliberately destroyed records on the cases. Several RCMP were alleged to be perpetrators of the unalivings.
Small detail but Susan had been licking those envelopes for hours, so she had essentially been ingesting poison and not just killing over randomly after a minute.
I saw another video that proved it would take hundreds and hundreds of envelopes to kill her, plus the fact of the person's willingness to do so while getting poisoned. In other words, it was totally exaggerated on the show
They were cheap Chinese envelopes made with glue that wasn't non-toxic. And George was regretful he didn't spring the extra money for the better envelopes.
There used to be a guy who busked in my home city. He was well known and liked locally. He had severe learning difficulties and did air guitar and singing to rock songs in the city centre regularly. It was common to see kids who didn't know any better laughing at him, but locals were protective of him. About 15 years ago, he appeared on Britain's Got Talent. Our boy was on TV, but it was clear he was just there to be laughed at. Seeing Simon Cowell and the other millionaires chuckling at a guy who couldn't understand that he was the butt of a joke made me sick.
Jeremy McKinnon, the lead singer of metalcore band A Day to Remember, was in the shop when he was approached by the producers of Pawn Stars and asked to sell a guitar because he "looked like a band guy." Apparently, they weren't aware that he was famous for, indeed, being a "band guy."
I remember watching and enjoying Ellen's sitcom as a kid. The problem after she came out wasn't that she was gay. The problem with the show and its writing was that after she came out, every single joke was about being gay. No longer was it just a generally funny show. It basically revolved around making being gay funny. That's what killed it.
I literally wrote similar just now. 😂 It was more of a collective eye-roll than prejudice. Besides, literally nobody was surprised when she came out and everyone still loved her show before she did. The show changed, the audience didn't.
I did not watch her as an actress, but did catch a segment of her talk show. She was supposed to be "so nice", but the part I watched had her trying to convince an unwitting guest to shoplift from a store that was also in on the prank. I was bullied as a child, and recognized that kind of pranking as real cruelty. I never watched another second of her show. Years later her employees bore out my snap assessment of her meanness.
You ever heard of "focus groups"? They've been part of TV for a really long time. As a child, I was in one about "Electric Company" (if I'm remembering the name correctly).
Not sure about the US version, but in other countries where it is filmed before airing, the producers make decisions based on what they think the audience will want to see. Basically they want to tell the best story.
The most amazing thing about James Evans dying, was the original story arc was supposed to be he ran off. When one of the writers said that doesn't make sense James wouldn't he actually went and took a poll of everyone in the building, and random people passing by and every single one of them said James would die before he'd leave his family. That writer walked back in and said we have to kill him
My friend's brother saw an ad online for a job interview. He went to the interview & it turned out to be some fake segment for Pawn stars. Long story short. They paid him a few bucks. He signed a waiver & was on TV for like 2 seconds
They haven't been REAL since the very first Survivor. As a person who has understood television program since I was a kid (I hung around TV and movie productions when I was in elementary school) I spotted how fake it was on the first show. I never "willingly" watched it again, nor most of those shows because of it (but I have starred in 5 Canadian ones, just for some fun). Even shows like Idol have a scripted element. Can't You See it?
@@67band A couple months after Survivor first aired, I read somewhere that it was mostly staged. Something regarding the budget, not having enough cameras and having to redo scenes in order to get multiple viewing angles. That was the beginning and end of reality shows for me. I tell people, if the show's credits list a producer, director, 4 writers, etc, it's scripted TV.
To be fair to Survivor, Jeff often will say "We'll give you a minute to strategize and we'll get started" so we do know that the contestants just don't go into challenges blindly, we just rarely see the strategizing and never have seen Jeff go into more detail on each section
Yes I thought the Survivor charge was unfair. It is like many things that need to be done off screen, that don't affect the outcome of the contest. We know they have to do these things, it is taken for granted. It's like the "bathrooms"... for propriety they NEVER show where the people "go", nor is toilet paper, or for that matter, tampons, and other such supplies, talked about at all. I just assume they have ditches, porta-potties, outhouses, or the like, just off screen. And lots of things like this... they don't really have a bearing on the contests or their outcome, so what if they don't show them?
Yeah, that Cash Cab one is stupid. You really think the host is going to carry around thousands of dollars in cash all alone? That's a perfect way to get robbed.
Yeah, I know that show was fake. There's no way random people are knowing these difficult, random questions when many Americans can barely name a country outside of the US or name more than 5 US states.
I don't watch "reality" shows. The first one I actually turned on was "Average Joe" and the first contestant bounced was a guy I knew who was trying to become an actor.
@@ecamp6360 The actor thing doesn't surprise me. If one looks back in the history of The Dating Game, one can find episodes with Steve Martin, Andy Kaufman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few. People are on these shows to find love but not personal love, more the "adored by the public" kind of love. Basically to be seen I guess.
The use of fake currency is not limited to Cash Cab. The Price is Right, 1990s Hollywood Squares and and any other show where a contestant is handed $100 or more of cash or a pile of cash is shown (Season 1s of Millionaire and Survivor) actually gets a check. That's not only to prevent theft by staff, but also to properly document winnings for tax purposes.
I get the Coming to American reference. I actually remembrer saw them filining that Movie on Queens Blvd many years ago back in the 20th Century. I think John Amos left Good Times way after he did Coming to America, but I could be wrong.
I recently rewatched that and caught a line I hadn't noticed before. When John Amos asked James Earl Jones if he should let his son know he was in town and Jones in perfect Vader mode says, " No Leave Them to Me" lol I'm a Star Wars fan since 77 and can't believe I never noticed that before!! Lol
@@HoldenNY22 Actually Good Times was off the air for years before Coming to America came out Holden. Nine years to be exact. Good Times ended in 79 and Coming to America was released in 1988. 😊
@@Heathcoatmanyes. He was very famous in the 80’s. I believe Greys was somewhat of a “comeback” but he was definitely a known entity. When the series started, I remember people making a big deal of the fact that Patrick Dempsey was in it.
A friend of mine used to do all the work for one of these home renovation home makeover shows. Then when it was all done, the pretty blonde host of the show would come out with her nail bag and hammer and hammer one nail on camera to pretend she did the work.
In high school I was on the Academic Quiz Bowl Team. We played in a tournament where the sponsor/teacher of the other team would cough and clear his throat and sinuses a lot. Anybody who's ever played a card game for cash can see all the tricks to cheat as long as they keep their eyes and ears open.
I'm surprised there wasn't at least an honorable mention for those cooking shows where the celebrity chefs really aren't the ones who choose the winners, that producers will "tweak" the results to make certain more "sellable" characters go through.
On Cosby's 1960's LP record album "It's True! It's True!"... which we had in our house when I was a kid, and listened to, often, there is a bit called, "Spanish Fly". In it he jokes about trying to buy the semi-mythical date rape drug, and asking people if he could buy some. Crazy that people thought that was even funny at the time, but also it's pretty interesting considering what we've learned about his proclivities and tactics in the decades since. IMHO he was probably always doing this.
Another thing on survivor is that - the helicopter/drone shots of challenges don't show the other cameras filming the competition. That is quietly acknowledged to be done by sending the contestants back to camp, removing the other cameras, and having the "Dream Team" interns dress up as doubles of the contestants to re-enact. That's why contestants are unable to select their own wardrobe; either production or the contestant must buy the duplicate. There are even photos from an Amazon (Season 6) dream teamer dressed as the decades younger eventual winner.
The masked singer. I’m quite certain the celebrity doesn’t get into costume until the final unmasking of their character. Every other time it’s actors in costumes.
Um.. okay. They just happen to have actor body doubles that are shaped the same way and move the same and everything. I know my girl Amber Riley was in that Harp costume 100% of the time.
I am not surprised by "House Hunters". but what I find Hilarious is that the 2 "random homes' aren't even "for sale", I mean, at least put Some effort in
Ellen's show wasn't canceled because of 'backlash' over her being gay. It was canceled because, after the revelation on the show, it completely changed in tone, from a hilarious good time coming close to the level of "I Love Lucy", to a relentless, joyless, treatise, every episode, on the hardships of being gay - which inspired even Elton John to say, "Shut up already. We know you're gay. Be funny."
It's funny how after Finding Nemo came out, everything about her past retroactively changed and was given a more favorable rewrite. Usually that kind of thing only happens in comic books, or in whitewashed history.
It was true 3:12 that Amos didn't like what JJ was doing to the show, but in another interview to JJ he said that he didn't give a damn and that he wasn't going to let the opportunity to shine in his career as a comedian to please anyone. He was doing it completely on purpose and conscious of what was happening. Originally, his famous catchphrase "Dyno-mite!" was supposed to be said in a more moderate way in the episode where it appeared, but he looked at it and decided that it didn't have any 'impact' that way, and gave a twist to it in his own comedic way, and the rest is history. He became a phenomenon and made the most of it for as long as he could.
Even beyond that, the show went to shit when she came out. I watched that show regularly as a teen but as soon as she came out the quality dropped . What went from clever writing to gay jokes. And it was like the same exact joke done over and over and over and over. There was no depth anymore.
@@JB-ot7sdYour comment mirrors Hollywood and Television writing in general. Once a movie or show hooks us with an entertaining character and/or quality storyline, the powers that be beat the dead horse to an unrecognizable pulp 🫠.
What I don't get is when an actor is proven to be an asshat to work with and repeatedly causes trouble on set then even gets fired for this type of behavior, why are they ever hired again? Who in their right mind purposefully hires a troublemaker? Hollywood seems to reward bad behavior. Fun fact: the original title of Ellen sitcom was These Friends of Mine.
There was an HBO movie called Late Shift that explored the background of that alleged Leno/Letterman feud, but it came out in 1995 when not everyone had all the secret info.
@@IanDoesMagic It was how he got it. Allegedly a lot of back door shady dealings, two-faced shenanigans. Also tons of people loved Letterman, and Conan. So whether it was legit or underhanded, some people were unhappy with Leno.
@Shorty_Lickens Not liking him is fair enough, but I think it's that dislike that drives their disaproval of his deals, not the other way around. Making a deal to secure a job is a normal part of life. This is TV not heart surgery or politics, it just comes down to who they think will make them more money.
The sad thing about Ellen's coming out is everyone says that her being gay killed the show. No, it wasn't. Nobody cared. The problem was the writing was trash. It was as if they dumbed the jokes for "Did you know I gay? Have I told you that in the last 5 minutes that I'm gay? You know I'm gay right?"
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist it is not. Your explanation misses the actual conspiratorial part, aka the part where people gather in absolute secret to conspire against something, like the people, the government or anything. To quote Wikipedia: "A conspiracy, also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it." Hiding, faking or just not mentioning things does not count as a conspiracy. Most of this stuffs "Secrecy" falls basically under "NDA", not "conspiracy".
@OssiEastborn So the TV audiences don't count as "the people," then? Good to know. I read the same source. Funny how I came to understand what that page was saying, and somehow you did not. Almost as though you only read the headline and didn't actually follow up by chasing down the sources cited, then go and chase up the definition further in Webster's, the OED, and Cornell's exhaustive legal site. Anyway, as you were. Happy gish galloping.
@AlexGreeneHypnotist wow, so you read so many sources just to be dead wrong. I, if in your place, would seriously doubt my readingcomprehension abilities at that point. And yes, the Audience are people but not actively involved. They are observers and thus personally unaffected by any of these. Plus, almost nothing here is illegal and almost nothing is done in secrecy amongst only the competitors. So no, not a single of the 20 points counts as a conspiracy, not to mention a conspiracy theory. If you are still insisting, how about you list every single hard condition for a conspiracy AND an Conspiracy Theory, and then how any of this is fulfilling those conditions. And remember, it has to fit all.
@@OssiEastborn You cannot possibly be contradicting Webster's and Cornell Law. I can only surmise that your contrarian attitude is performative, because your ignorance is like a Jolly Roger flag on an approaching ship - signalling nothing more than an intent to act with malice.
That last little clip of Bill Cosby and his TV wife saying "Your great Husband and loving father but we DO have a problem" reminds me of Soldier Boy telling Huey how Cosby was the semblance of a "True Man" and "Americas Dad" 😂 as Huey visibly cringes and comments how he (Soldier Boy) has alot to catch up on... As he says this Solider Boy is staring off into space reminiscing and this man comes out and literally says "Yeah man that guy used to make some STRONG drinks" 😮 😂😂😂 The look of absolute Horror Huey gives him after he drops that one out on him KILLS me. ..
If you like reality shows, that's great. But you have to know that they almost all 90% staged. Like, people realize that nobody goes on the Batchelor to find love or a relationship.....right?
I always felt the same thing. I never begrudged anybody that watched shows like Survivor or Bachelor (well.... maybe a little for the Bachelor) but would always say to them "okay, but you do know it isn't real right?" It's like WWE, if you enjoy it sure, but don't try to pretend it's real, it just makes You look stupid
Knowing someone who participated as a contestant in "cash cab", the recruitment was as followed: 1: The cash cab drove to a random taxi pick up point. 2: Someone from the accompaning car got out and asked some one the waiting passengers: Hey, you guys know "cash cab"? Do you want to participate? 3: Ok, sign this paper and have fun with the quiz. So the recruitment was just askeing beforehand if they wanted to participate.
Back when Ellen was doing stand up, I just assume she was gay and anybody can tell just because of her androgynous look. Cosby on the other hand, never heard any rumors. Cosby is such a disappointment because he was the wholesome positive force in entertainment for long time.
She's never confirmed it, but I kind of have to wonder if Lisa Bonet might also have been a victim. Her meltdown after season 1 of the spinoff is pretty characteristic of someone who's been SAd.
Wasn't there a theory about The Price is Right at one time? Not about Barker's Beauties and Bob fooling around, but about the wheel they spin in the 2 segments?
I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy much, but was aware Patrick Dempsey had become nothing less than a never more popular, tv sex symbol for his portrayal of a doctor. But, what is this?! He caused PTSD!? As an actor? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is known as a military veterans battle fatigue et cetera Disorder. Were talking seeing too many people killed, killing too many people, why am I still alive type nightmare stuff> WTF was Dempsey doing to his fellow cast and crew members? anyways I loved Bill Cosby: Himself. I must have watched the standup routine on cable tv a half dozen times, bringin myself to tears laughing on more than one occasion. "Please child, do what your mother tells you ... " While the Cosby tv show was #1 and I was SO starting to notice a growing up Lisa Bonet ( I had watched Angel Heart much to my Lisa Bonet delight ... unique murder mystery with New Orleans voo doo what's real storyline adding to the cajun movie mix, too); but I will never forget Cosby making his comments about Bonet hurting the image of not only the Cosby Show, but her career as well to which she responded: "He should be more concerned about the parade of women he has passing through the set ...!" And it was like, oh, what exactly does THAT mean? Which we honestly knew, and wondered what his wife might be thinking or say publicly? which it did not appear "Camiille" ever really made a grand statement for or against her husband. Anyways we know what Lisa B meant. right down to the dressing room. Truly the most disappointed I've been by a Hollywood performer/actor movie star. I remember watching Cosby 'host' the Fat Albert show as a kid on Saturday morning cartoons. HEY HEY HEY! The Brown Hornet is on! Man, great memories ... and then an image of someone totally blown up completely shattered.
PTSD has been known to be caused by far more than war for ages now Various types of abuse, SA, car crashes, etc. have all caused PTSD or C-PTSD It's Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Not just Post War Disorder
What's scary was the anthrax in the mail envelope news that caused the Seinfeld episode to be removed from syndication, and the reason we are using adhesive sticker sheets for stamps.

@@BAL9292 no, that's rigging. If you can't win as soon as you drop your quarter in, that's rigged. Technically, even though the course was hard, it was winnable every time.
That was Michael Larson. He won $110,237 in cash and prizes (a lot for 1984) by memorising the Big Board's light patterns and knowing that two squares always gave out cash and an extra spin. There were times when he stopped too early like when he won a sailboat and a trip to The Bahamas, and the very first occurrence when he hit a Whammy on his very first spin. He didn't pass the four spins he had until he broke six figures with his winnings at $102,851. His second round run at the Big Board ran so long they had to split the episode into two parts.
To be fair American Idol sucks now. All they show is good ones and all they say are nice things. It has the exact opposite problem and they don't make superstars anymore like they used to.
As someone that used to work in tv, it never ceased to amaze us how many people think that everything they see on tv is real. I mean, think about it. Is a production company really going to get all the crew, equipment and presenters together and just hope to happen upon a member of the public who'll consent to be on the show and provide good content? That would be idiotic. To be honest, most of us didn't even realise the public wouldn't realise this stuff until there were a few "scandals" like these.😂
After seeing Pawn Stars,I have an idea for a new pawn shop show. Pawn Polygraph,a pawn shop owner will be hooked up to polygraph machine and reveal the TRUE value of an item.
I've known about Gordon Ramsey's fake "outrage" personality for a looong time, because i say the British version of "Kitchen Nightmares". The only time he raised his voice was if the restaurant owners where being absolute morons and ignoring everything he said. I remember one Caribbean restaurant, run by a middle aged woman, where he LOVED the food so much, he went to ask for seconds. The issues with her small restaurant was that is was in an awkward location and looked a little dingy.
One of the worst things about Cosby was his weird need to always try and lecture young Black men and women over things that were simply modern fashion. Granted, there are plenty of criticisms that can be made about today's youth, but he would pick dumb things to try and lecture people about. Meanwhile he was doing the things he was doing. Reminds me a lot about how the Catholic Church tries to control every aspect of everyone's sex lives meanwhile they were busy covering up half a century worth of SA of children. And that's just what we know about from survivors, imagine what went on before that. The worst kind hypocrisy imaginable.
Ed Marinaro's character on Hill Street Blues was abruptly shot and sent to the hospital in season 2. His agent told him to accept a cheaper contract or his character would die.
It's interesting that, if it were actually true, reality TV would still be a vapid, stupid, waste of time. But the fact that it's also staged makes it truly one of the worst features of popular culture to ever exist.
That might not be the fame thing. That's just some men. Particularly from around the time Bob Barker was born. I was brought up in a totally female household and was the doted on only son, younger brother AND older brother. (my dad had died in 1975 when I was 10) My point being, that I grew up the exact opposite. And talk to men and women exactly the same due to being around mostly females. But being an actual male myself.

This was because the writers went out and spoke to people who lived on the streets at the time and the police didn't and completely missed a real life serial killer when the TV show basically solved it well before the police knew it existed.
😮 daaaamn that's crazy.
@@BAL9292 Not really. The police's job is to maintain order. They don't give a fuck about anything else.
I remember this! So insane 😟
Not shocking in the least. Look up the Highway of Tears in northern BC, how the cops KNEW up to 120 First Nations women had been unalived by males, and did nothing, lying and claiming the women did it to themselves. Members of the rghti wngi government deliberately destroyed records on the cases. Several RCMP were alleged to be perpetrators of the unalivings.
There was a saying at the time that the sex trades workers would say "don't go to the pig farm" if only the police had looked in to it ....
Small detail but Susan had been licking those envelopes for hours, so she had essentially been ingesting poison and not just killing over randomly after a minute.
I saw another video that proved it would take hundreds and hundreds of envelopes to kill her, plus the fact of the person's willingness to do so while getting poisoned. In other words, it was totally exaggerated on the show
They were cheap Chinese envelopes made with glue that wasn't non-toxic. And George was regretful he didn't spring the extra money for the better envelopes.
To take a comedy this serious is hilarious!
When someone says they wanna spend more time with their family, you know for a fact they got fired or were forced to quit
There used to be a guy who busked in my home city. He was well known and liked locally. He had severe learning difficulties and did air guitar and singing to rock songs in the city centre regularly. It was common to see kids who didn't know any better laughing at him, but locals were protective of him. About 15 years ago, he appeared on Britain's Got Talent. Our boy was on TV, but it was clear he was just there to be laughed at. Seeing Simon Cowell and the other millionaires chuckling at a guy who couldn't understand that he was the butt of a joke made me sick.
Jeremy McKinnon, the lead singer of metalcore band A Day to Remember, was in the shop when he was approached by the producers of Pawn Stars and asked to sell a guitar because he "looked like a band guy." Apparently, they weren't aware that he was famous for, indeed, being a "band guy."
never heard of him
I remember watching and enjoying Ellen's sitcom as a kid. The problem after she came out wasn't that she was gay. The problem with the show and its writing was that after she came out, every single joke was about being gay. No longer was it just a generally funny show. It basically revolved around making being gay funny. That's what killed it.
I said this exact same thing to my husband last week.
I literally wrote similar just now. 😂 It was more of a collective eye-roll than prejudice. Besides, literally nobody was surprised when she came out and everyone still loved her show before she did. The show changed, the audience didn't.
I did not watch her as an actress, but did catch a segment of her talk show. She was supposed to be "so nice", but the part I watched had her trying to convince an unwitting guest to shoplift from a store that was also in on the prank. I was bullied as a child, and recognized that kind of pranking as real cruelty. I never watched another second of her show. Years later her employees bore out my snap assessment of her meanness.
I don't understand how bachelor contestants are kept or eliminated based on audience response when the show is finished filming before it goes to air.
(Anticipated) audience response. I.e. "villians" who the lead is not interested in will be kept late into the show to continue drama.
You ever heard of "focus groups"? They've been part of TV for a really long time. As a child, I was in one about "Electric Company" (if I'm remembering the name correctly).
Not sure about the US version, but in other countries where it is filmed before airing, the producers make decisions based on what they think the audience will want to see. Basically they want to tell the best story.
The most amazing thing about James Evans dying, was the original story arc was supposed to be he ran off. When one of the writers said that doesn't make sense James wouldn't he actually went and took a poll of everyone in the building, and random people passing by and every single one of them said James would die before he'd leave his family. That writer walked back in and said we have to kill him
Patrick Dempsey was an 80s star that got a resurgence because of Grey's.
I hate when people turn out to be arses.
I mean, how could you turn down casting the star of Meatballs 3?
My friend's brother saw an ad online for a job interview. He went to the interview & it turned out to be some fake segment for Pawn stars. Long story short. They paid him a few bucks. He signed a waiver & was on TV for like 2 seconds
The title "reality show" should always be put in quotes. They haven't been real since their creation during the WGA strike back in the 90's.
They haven't been REAL since the very first Survivor. As a person who has understood television program since I was a kid (I hung around TV and movie productions when I was in elementary school) I spotted how fake it was on the first show. I never "willingly" watched it again, nor most of those shows because of it (but I have starred in 5 Canadian ones, just for some fun). Even shows like Idol have a scripted element. Can't You See it?
Which shows did you do? @@67band
@@67band A couple months after Survivor first aired, I read somewhere that it was mostly staged. Something regarding the budget, not having enough cameras and having to redo scenes in order to get multiple viewing angles. That was the beginning and end of reality shows for me. I tell people, if the show's credits list a producer, director, 4 writers, etc, it's scripted TV.
To be fair to Survivor, Jeff often will say "We'll give you a minute to strategize and we'll get started" so we do know that the contestants just don't go into challenges blindly, we just rarely see the strategizing and never have seen Jeff go into more detail on each section
and they always talk in interviews about how the challenges work, that was never a hidden thing
Yes I thought the Survivor charge was unfair. It is like many things that need to be done off screen, that don't affect the outcome of the contest. We know they have to do these things, it is taken for granted. It's like the "bathrooms"... for propriety they NEVER show where the people "go", nor is toilet paper, or for that matter, tampons, and other such supplies, talked about at all.
I just assume they have ditches, porta-potties, outhouses, or the like, just off screen. And lots of things like this... they don't really have a bearing on the contests or their outcome, so what if they don't show them?
Yeah, that Cash Cab one is stupid. You really think the host is going to carry around thousands of dollars in cash all alone? That's a perfect way to get robbed.

I don't watch "reality" shows. The first one I actually turned on was "Average Joe" and the first contestant bounced was a guy I knew who was trying to become an actor.
@@ecamp6360 The actor thing doesn't surprise me. If one looks back in the history of The Dating Game, one can find episodes with Steve Martin, Andy Kaufman, and Arnold Schwarzenegger to name a few. People are on these shows to find love but not personal love, more the "adored by the public" kind of love. Basically to be seen I guess.
The use of fake currency is not limited to Cash Cab. The Price is Right, 1990s Hollywood Squares and and any other show where a contestant is handed $100 or more of cash or a pile of cash is shown (Season 1s of Millionaire and Survivor) actually gets a check. That's not only to prevent theft by staff, but also to properly document winnings for tax purposes.

John Amos started McDowell's after Good Times. That's where he met Prince Akeem Joffer.

A friend of mine used to do all the work for one of these home renovation home makeover shows. Then when it was all done, the pretty blonde host of the show would come out with her nail bag and hammer and hammer one nail on camera to pretend she did the work.
Most reno shows are like that!
In high school I was on the Academic Quiz Bowl Team. We played in a tournament where the sponsor/teacher of the other team would cough and clear his throat and sinuses a lot. Anybody who's ever played a card game for cash can see all the tricks to cheat as long as they keep their eyes and ears open.
I'm surprised there wasn't at least an honorable mention for those cooking shows where the celebrity chefs really aren't the ones who choose the winners, that producers will "tweak" the results to make certain more "sellable" characters go through.
On Cosby's 1960's LP record album "It's True! It's True!"... which we had in our house when I was a kid, and listened to, often, there is a bit called, "Spanish Fly". In it he jokes about trying to buy the semi-mythical date rape drug, and asking people if he could buy some. Crazy that people thought that was even funny at the time, but also it's pretty interesting considering what we've learned about his proclivities and tactics in the decades since.
IMHO he was probably always doing this.
One thing people need to understand about Shonda Rhimes…if you cross her, she will kill off your character.

@@BluebirdfallingGoogle?
Another thing on survivor is that - the helicopter/drone shots of challenges don't show the other cameras filming the competition. That is quietly acknowledged to be done by sending the contestants back to camp, removing the other cameras, and having the "Dream Team" interns dress up as doubles of the contestants to re-enact. That's why contestants are unable to select their own wardrobe; either production or the contestant must buy the duplicate. There are even photos from an Amazon (Season 6) dream teamer dressed as the decades younger eventual winner.
Nobody even knew who Wendy Williams was when The Cosby Show was on the air.
Like half of these aren't "conspiracy theories" at all.
More like "20 speculations that turned out to be true"

Many of these weren't conspiracy theories. They were known by many but were trivialized.
The masked singer. I’m quite certain the celebrity doesn’t get into costume until the final unmasking of their character. Every other time it’s actors in costumes.

@@laurenstanciel1247 LOL, there wasn't enough bad reality tv on tv
Ellen's show wasn't canceled because of 'backlash' over her being gay. It was canceled because, after the revelation on the show, it completely changed in tone, from a hilarious good time coming close to the level of "I Love Lucy", to a relentless, joyless, treatise, every episode, on the hardships of being gay - which inspired even Elton John to say, "Shut up already. We know you're gay. Be funny."
100% right. That show was sooo hilarious. Then it was like a PBS special over and over.
Yep, just like nowadays it became her personality, she came out, and we said, "duh, everyone knew."
It's funny how after Finding Nemo came out, everything about her past retroactively changed and was given a more favorable rewrite. Usually that kind of thing only happens in comic books, or in whitewashed history.
It's pretty bad when Sir Elton has to speak up. I never knew about that. Lol Gotta love Elton!
It was true 3:12 that Amos didn't like what JJ was doing to the show, but in another interview to JJ he said that he didn't give a damn and that he wasn't going to let the opportunity to shine in his career as a comedian to please anyone. He was doing it completely on purpose and conscious of what was happening. Originally, his famous catchphrase "Dyno-mite!" was supposed to be said in a more moderate way in the episode where it appeared, but he looked at it and decided that it didn't have any 'impact' that way, and gave a twist to it in his own comedic way, and the rest is history. He became a phenomenon and made the most of it for as long as he could.
Surely it shoud be rumous that turned out to be truth rather than conspiracy theories. But hey, that title don't give you clicks😅
Whoa, slow down! Patrick Dempsey was a successful actor way before Grey’s Anatomy.
Ellen - What if I said something shocking to you, that my whole life has been a lie and I’m really…a horrible person.

Even beyond that, the show went to shit when she came out. I watched that show regularly as a teen but as soon as she came out the quality dropped . What went from clever writing to gay jokes. And it was like the same exact joke done over and over and over and over. There was no depth anymore.
I'm from the UK. But even to me that Ellen reveal was about as shocking as Elton John to be perfectly frank.
@@JB-ot7sdYour comment mirrors Hollywood and Television writing in general. Once a movie or show hooks us with an entertaining character and/or quality storyline, the powers that be beat the dead horse to an unrecognizable pulp 🫠.
What I don't get is when an actor is proven to be an asshat to work with and repeatedly causes trouble on set then even gets fired for this type of behavior, why are they ever hired again? Who in their right mind purposefully hires a troublemaker? Hollywood seems to reward bad behavior.
Fun fact: the original title of Ellen sitcom was These Friends of Mine.
To be fair, they didn't kill off James Evans via letter. Those were telegrams. I'll leave it to you younguns to look up what a telegram is. 😊
There was an HBO movie called Late Shift that explored the background of that alleged Leno/Letterman feud, but it came out in 1995 when not everyone had all the secret info.

Making a deal to secure a job is a normal part of life. This is TV not heart surgery or politics, it just comes down to who they think will make them more money.
Who in their right mind would pick a fight with Gordon Ramsey? He has bodyguards for a reason.

Why does he need bodyguards? He has a black belt in karate, he can beat their ass any time
The sad thing about Ellen's coming out is everyone says that her being gay killed the show. No, it wasn't. Nobody cared. The problem was the writing was trash. It was as if they dumbed the jokes for "Did you know I gay? Have I told you that in the last 5 minutes that I'm gay? You know I'm gay right?"

Seems like Mojo does not know what a conspiracy Theory or a conspiracy to begin with is. But "20 things in TV that were fake" is not as catchy, right?
In each case, multiple people were involved in behind-the-scenes shenanigans.
That pretty much is the definition of "conspiracy."
@@AlexGreeneHypnotist it is not. Your explanation misses the actual conspiratorial part, aka the part where people gather in absolute secret to conspire against something, like the people, the government or anything. To quote Wikipedia:
"A conspiracy, also known as a plot, ploy, or scheme, is a secret plan or agreement between people (called conspirers or conspirators) for an unlawful or harmful purpose, such as murder, treason, or corruption, especially with a political motivation, while keeping their agreement secret from the public or from other people affected by it."
Hiding, faking or just not mentioning things does not count as a conspiracy.
Most of this stuffs "Secrecy" falls basically under "NDA", not "conspiracy".
@OssiEastborn So the TV audiences don't count as "the people," then? Good to know. I read the same source. Funny how I came to understand what that page was saying, and somehow you did not. Almost as though you only read the headline and didn't actually follow up by chasing down the sources cited, then go and chase up the definition further in Webster's, the OED, and Cornell's exhaustive legal site. Anyway, as you were. Happy gish galloping.
@AlexGreeneHypnotist wow, so you read so many sources just to be dead wrong. I, if in your place, would seriously doubt my readingcomprehension abilities at that point.
And yes, the Audience are people but not actively involved. They are observers and thus personally unaffected by any of these. Plus, almost nothing here is illegal and almost nothing is done in secrecy amongst only the competitors. So no, not a single of the 20 points counts as a conspiracy, not to mention a conspiracy theory.
If you are still insisting, how about you list every single hard condition for a conspiracy AND an Conspiracy Theory, and then how any of this is fulfilling those conditions. And remember, it has to fit all.
@@OssiEastborn You cannot possibly be contradicting Webster's and Cornell Law. I can only surmise that your contrarian attitude is performative, because your ignorance is like a Jolly Roger flag on an approaching ship - signalling nothing more than an intent to act with malice.

It's like WWE, if you enjoy it sure, but don't try to pretend it's real, it just makes You look stupid
I think they do. I really think they are that shallow.
Knowing someone who participated as a contestant in "cash cab", the recruitment was as followed: 1: The cash cab drove to a random taxi pick up point. 2: Someone from the accompaning car got out and asked some one the waiting passengers: Hey, you guys know "cash cab"? Do you want to participate? 3: Ok, sign this paper and have fun with the quiz. So the recruitment was just askeing beforehand if they wanted to participate.

Oh, Bill Cosby; you didn't have to do that. 🎉
Back when Ellen was doing stand up, I just assume she was gay and anybody can tell just because of her androgynous look.
Cosby on the other hand, never heard any rumors. Cosby is such a disappointment because he was the wholesome positive force in entertainment for long time.
He was an actor. Actors create an onscreen persona and people buy into it. It's what they do.
Im still not ok from that he was my idol growing up in the early aughts
She's never confirmed it, but I kind of have to wonder if Lisa Bonet might also have been a victim. Her meltdown after season 1 of the spinoff is pretty characteristic of someone who's been SAd.

I thought it was common knowledge that all "reality shows" are just as scripted as a prime-time drama.
I didn't watch Grey's Anatomy much, but was aware Patrick Dempsey had become nothing less than a never more popular, tv sex symbol for his portrayal of a doctor. But, what is this?! He caused PTSD!? As an actor? Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is known as a military veterans battle fatigue et cetera Disorder. Were talking seeing too many people killed, killing too many people, why am I still alive type nightmare stuff> WTF was Dempsey doing to his fellow cast and crew members? anyways
I loved Bill Cosby: Himself. I must have watched the standup routine on cable tv a half dozen times, bringin myself to tears laughing on more than one occasion. "Please child, do what your mother tells you ... "
While the Cosby tv show was #1 and I was SO starting to notice a growing up Lisa Bonet ( I had watched Angel Heart much to my Lisa Bonet delight ... unique murder mystery with New Orleans voo doo what's real storyline adding to the cajun movie mix, too); but I will never forget Cosby making his comments about Bonet hurting the image of not only the Cosby Show, but her career as well to which she responded: "He should be more concerned about the parade of women he has passing through the set ...!" And it was like, oh, what exactly does THAT mean? Which we honestly knew, and wondered what his wife might be thinking or say publicly? which it did not appear "Camiille" ever really made a grand statement for or against her husband. Anyways we know what Lisa B meant. right down to the dressing room. Truly the most disappointed I've been by a Hollywood performer/actor movie star. I remember watching Cosby 'host' the Fat Albert show as a kid on Saturday morning cartoons. HEY HEY HEY! The Brown Hornet is on! Man, great memories ... and then an image of someone totally blown up completely shattered.
Wasn't he also occasionally on Captain Kangaroo around the same time as Fat Albert?

You forgot about the dude who beat “Press Your Luck”.
That was Michael Larson. He won $110,237 in cash and prizes (a lot for 1984) by memorising the Big Board's light patterns and knowing that two squares always gave out cash and an extra spin. There were times when he stopped too early like when he won a sailboat and a trip to The Bahamas, and the very first occurrence when he hit a Whammy on his very first spin. He didn't pass the four spins he had until he broke six figures with his winnings at $102,851. His second round run at the Big Board ran so long they had to split the episode into two parts.
It wasn't a conspiracy. He simply figured out the flaw in the game and exploited it. It was investigated and he was found to have won fair and square.
@ people thought he was cheating and some thought he conspired with a producer. Turns out, yeah, he just beat the system fair and square
To be fair American Idol sucks now. All they show is good ones and all they say are nice things. It has the exact opposite problem and they don't make superstars anymore like they used to.
As someone that used to work in tv, it never ceased to amaze us how many people think that everything they see on tv is real. I mean, think about it. Is a production company really going to get all the crew, equipment and presenters together and just hope to happen upon a member of the public who'll consent to be on the show and provide good content? That would be idiotic. To be honest, most of us didn't even realise the public wouldn't realise this stuff until there were a few "scandals" like these.😂

I've known about Gordon Ramsey's fake "outrage" personality for a looong time, because i say the British version of "Kitchen Nightmares".
The only time he raised his voice was if the restaurant owners where being absolute morons and ignoring everything he said.
I remember one Caribbean restaurant, run by a middle aged woman, where he LOVED the food so much, he went to ask for seconds.
The issues with her small restaurant was that is was in an awkward location and looked a little dingy.
One of the worst things about Cosby was his weird need to always try and lecture young Black men and women over things that were simply modern fashion. Granted, there are plenty of criticisms that can be made about today's youth, but he would pick dumb things to try and lecture people about. Meanwhile he was doing the things he was doing. Reminds me a lot about how the Catholic Church tries to control every aspect of everyone's sex lives meanwhile they were busy covering up half a century worth of SA of children. And that's just what we know about from survivors, imagine what went on before that. The worst kind hypocrisy imaginable.
