The polygraph isn't a lie detector, it's an interrogation tool. John Larsen, the creator of the original iteration of the machine, the cardio-pneumo-pyschogram, spent his remaining days trying to discredit his own invention because he knew it was a dangerous fraud. Can't imagine how many lives it unfairly ruined on this vile programme.
Yeah exactly you might as well have random people stand up there and say if someone is telling the truth or not. The Creator said it was The worst invention he ever made it's no more accurate than a coin flip.
That reminds me of the guy that originally proposed the idea of Alpha wolves in wolf packs. After publishing his results he realized it was incorrect because he was using domesticated wolves instead of wild ones. He spent the rest of his life trying to tell everyone that he was wrong, but his original report was far too well by that point for him to undo it and correct himself.
If a polygraph was deadly accurate they would be used in pretty much every court case going. As it is, I am not sure any country uses polygraph tests as proof of innocence or guilt as as you say, they are not accurate. Many factors can throw a polygraph off. But put one on a show that is watched mostly by the lowest common denominator, then of course it adds spice to those ridiculous stories. Jeremy Kyle was, is and always will be an utter scumbag.
@@albinofroggy It's a really interesting topic, and far more common than people realise especially in the medical science and research field. Famously, Sigmund Freud refuted his research and diagnoses of female hysteria. The monster becomes bigger than the box it came from.
Jeremy Kyle really be like "I falsified a lie detector test and convinced a woman that her husband cheated on her and drove him to suicide all for a laugh at the expense of the disgusting poors and lost my show, cancel culture has officially gone too far!"
Failing a polygraph is as simple as having very discrepant reactions from baseline, this guy, even if a pathological liar, would have likely been so emotionally distraught over the issues prior to coming on the show, that his responses would be deviating from baseline.
Love Island and the Only Way Is Essex be like don't look at us Be like 😂. Go back to school and learn english Lol then maybe you should grow a brain. The only way is Essex and love Island are worse shows. Thanks for invalidating your own point by your own ignorance
@@damienadama I have literally no idea what those shows are and don't care. I came here to make fun of the mean British TV man. And my point that he's a dickhead still stands.
What pissed me off the most was the sheer hypocrisy of him, he berated and belittled people for having addictions yet he had a well known Gambling addiction.
He was pretty open about that though. It wasn't like he was hiding it (after it became public). IT's also called tough love, or breaking someone down before building them back up. He was the asshole, then he brings someone in who is more sympathetic... Classic good cop/ bad cop. Also... It was a TV show. No one watched Jerry Springer for anything but the fights, no one watched Jeremy Kyle for him actually helping people.
@@redjed100did those people agree to be put in Kira's show? If not, then it would be exploitative. The standards for what is exploitative should not be high--- if there's a good possibility that it would make these people feel bad, and there is, then it is exploitative.
@@arglebargle5531 I mean, I think they’d feel ashamed, especially in hindsight, but when considering the video being firmly in their corner, I find it hard to go so far as to say that it would be exploitative in context.
One point of contention I always have with these shows is they really need to start calling the tests the appropriate name, polygraphs, and it needs to be shouted in the heavens that polygraphs are useless. The only thing they measure is heart rate, respiration and perspiration and cannot determine if the reaction was based on lying, nervousness, or any other factor.
The act of taking a polygraph can be so nerve wracking that it'll set them off. They need to be disowned and removed entirely because of how bad they are.
The best argument against the polygraph is the case of Aldrich Ames, who rose to be DIRECTOR OF THE CIA despite being a SOVIET SPY. They are very fond of polygraphs in the CIA. Either they failed to show he was lying, or they did show he was lying but the operators assumed the results were nonsense.
I worked with someone whose brother went on the JK show. When he told me about it he was talking about how they pay the guests, put them up in a hotel and the potential for fame was also a factor. They were taking advantage of people living in poverty, straight up. What's a couple of hundred quid to the production company that makes one of the most popular TV show? Nothing. But to these people it was substantial. I wasn't aware of the added psychological manipulation, but it doesn't surprise me. And even after people have killed themselves, Kyle is now blaming the matrix for getting him cancelled. What a disgusting psychopath.
@@beybladebaby Sorry, I thought my topical joke (in the context of Logan Paul's non-apology) was obvious. Will try to avoid sarcasm in TH-cam comments from now on ;)
I always wondered why would people act so over the top on these shows. Why it was so easy to be undignified. I thought they must be actors, no they were just poor people told to act. I lived near poor area and they never acted like this on real life even if there was alcohol and drugs involved. These shows are the worst. At least Roman colusseum didn't make the lion and gladiator go through polygraph to prove they didn't cheat. I think even the most carnage-loving roman would have said "Well this is f'd up."
My sister used to watch this show a lot and I never got the appeal of it. When I asked her, "Why do you watch this show?", her response was "because it makes me feel better about my situation". Your point about people who watch it being people in similar or relatable situations to these people really rang true there.
What's wrong with finding solace that you could be worse? I think internet lolcows serve the same purpose of ''hey, you might be bad but at least you're not this person'' which is a comforting thing for many people and helps them shift the negative perspective about themselves, because we need to be reminded that we could be a lot worse and that there is proof of that in the flesh.
@@pikajew3578 If you are comparing yourself to another person and thinking "Well, at least I am not as bad as that person" ...THEN YOU ARE EVEN WORSE! Where is your f**king compassion?!
@@pikajew3578 true, however there is a difference between just feeling better about your situation, and feeling that it’s okay to bully others for their situation. Seeing other people situations that are worse than theirs can be humbling for some people, but for others, it gives them a power dynamic, a superiority complex like Jermey has shown countless times in the show.
I remember this one episode where thie little girl was accused of theft and she denied it over and over and was sobbing and was surrounded by her family cameras and Jeremy all hounding her and she said yes finally, but it was so fucking clear she was just breaking under the pressure. That was the final straw for me.
The closest moment I’ve seen to honesty on Dr Phil was when he had the online Bum Fights guy on. He came in dressed up as Dr Phil. Didn’t even get through his introductory video.
I come from a low income area of Yorkshire. My uncle was on the show once and my brother was invited on twice (but refused). The craziest part is that the producers don't need to hunt to find the most exploitable in society - these people saw it as genuine conflict resolution and offered themselves up willingly.
That was the case, the two-part documentary showed that producers who came forward anonymously said that in the last 2-3 years of the show, finding guests had become very difficult due to previous guests attempting to go public before the show was cancelled.
@@LeniDell Springer was heavily scripted. One of my neighbors went on twice lol He has 2 completely different storylines (even different names) & just told to act as ridiculous as possible. It was a free trip to Chicago, & the show covered flights, hotels etc.
"I was actually diagnosed with anxiety after the show was cancelled" The definition of "for me but not for thee". Anxiety is only bad if it happens to you and not to the people you exploit. Welcome to our world, buddy
On an unrelated side note... 07:21 What a lovely site (the homogeneous audience). It was clearly filmed at a time before mass immigration - which was a much better time.
@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Ah, yes. The first thing I think of when I see people getting enjoyment from other people's suffering is "good thing they're all white"
Where Kyle grew up is very telling about his personality honestly. Reading is comparable to somewhere like Harvard elsewhere or MIT in England. It’s the place you go if you want to be a spoiled twat. You want privileged, assholish, white snobbish pricks straight out of an American secondary school movie? Go to Reading or Harvard.
yeah at least steve wilkos actually went chest to chest with guests who tried to intimidate him or angered by him. he also realized how toxic the "jermy kyle" agressive styel of show was so he mellowed out his apporach becoming far more calm and less accusotry. i belive he even aplogized for the first 2 or 3 seasons of the show its why its the only "lie dectector" show i watch n even then many times it does feel annoying how the audience clearly is just watching it like a boxing match.
Are we talking about the part where he threw an envelope at one of his guests, and then shat himself when the guest threw the envelope back at him and hit him in the back of the head? That was priceless, he looked terrified.
My sister used to watch this a lot as a teenager and I kept saying "why do you watch this?" - she never had an answer. As for Jeremy Kyle himself, there was one show where he was walking around somewhere with a group of bodyguards and he began coughing. The camera immediately stopped because someone had fired CS spray at him from a distance, and he later said that thankfully his security team got him to safety, and I couldn't help but think of his entitlement. Sure, getting attacked with CS gas is not pleasant at all, but he spoke of his security team so nonchalantly as if everyone has one.
Same with all the US talk shows who did the same. Lie detectors are BS, yet people like Maury Povich based _dozens_ of episodes on it. So many families broken and lives destroyed, all for nothing.
@@starashield6399 Maybe, but we'll never know. Since he lied about so many things to Jane, it's not unreasonable that she may think he'd been unfaithful to her.
@@WobblesandBean I dunno, the act of saying "I was in the navy" when you weren't is very different from the act of having sex with someone besides your partner. We don't know if Dymond was seeing other people, but I don't think we should use his compulsive lying as a reason to assume he was unfaithful, particularly since he's now passed and can't defend himself.
In my country there is a show that has some similarities with this one. About two years ago a woman came on the show talking about why she ran away from her husband that was abusive, the guests and host ridiculed her and said it wasn’t that serious and said “ that’s what happens in love” A few months go by and her ex-husband breaks into her house and murders her and her teenage son. Sadly no one lost their job as the show is still going on like nothing happened.
@@jojobizarrelivingstone594no I think moosnaomi is talking about the el diario de Patricia incident read this “LONDON - Women's groups have condemned a Spanish TV talk show following the death of a woman who turned down an on-air marriage proposal from her ex-boyfriend. And a leading judge called for a review of such programs following the death of Svetlana Orlova, a 30-year-old mother of one. Five days after appearing on the Antena 3 program Diario de Patricia (Patricia's Diary), Orlova was found dead at her home in Alicante with her throat cut. Her ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Navarro, 30, who had also appeared on the daytime show, has been arrested but denies any involvement in her death”
What happened to Steve Dymond is genuinely awful. He and the other victims of these types of shows deserved real help from actual professionals who respected them as people.
His own family didn’t blame Jeremy. And all that “we care” bollocks ITV spouted when they cancelled Jeremy is a load of bull*t because Love Island has 2 deaths directly connected to that show (and arguably a 3rd) but is still on the air … so tits and arses hanging out is fine but not a show that genuinely helped people? Hypocritical f*ckers 😡😡😡
Having faith in "Experts" is a huge mistake. They know very little and the moniker "expert" is just to convinced people with no faith in their own intellectual faculties. Never believe Experts. They all have a financial motive in pushing their expert opinions, which are just that "OPINIONS". YOUR OPINION MAY BE MORE VALID THAN ANY "EXPERT".
i knew a few people who went on the show from my estate, its hard to overstate how much of a cultural phenomenon it was in the UK. the lie detector test thing had everyone believing they were real. it was always mad to me that nobody questioned it, ever. they made it out to be a way to work out your issues without needing the money, but, really it was just exploitation of people they knew they could get away with.
It really should be more common knowledge that lie detectors are flawed at best. All they can do is give a slight indication towards the truth, they can't confirm anything.
You have an estate? how many acres? I love an estate... I'd have carp lake and keep deer. Do you have a game keeper... for pheasant hunting and such? Is it true that if you hit a pheasant with your car it's illegal to take it - but if you are the second car you can take it to eat? I'd love to live on an estate.
@@jamesjross hahaha that made me actually LOL. you make estate living sound so cool - but sadly, i dont mean the rich sort of estate and mean a housing estate. its the UK version of the hoods of America, or the projects: although its not a perfect comparison this is probs the best way i can explain a housing estate. some are far worse than others and its not derogatory inherently but has been used as a insult before.
I was standing outside a hospital unit once and this guy starts to talk to me, he said that him and his 2 brothers went on the JK show. They did it because they were promised aftercare, all three were alcoholics/drug addicts. They didnt recieve any aftercare and his brothers died, he looked very unwell. I dont know if its true, i think it was and he just wanted to tell as many people as possible. I hope he's still alive and got to see that shit show cancelled
My mum was actually going to go on the show to confront her mother and siblings who were all abusive to her. Honestly so glad mum decided against it even though we had a confirmation email
I don't know if anyone else said so yet, but thank you for blurring out the people in the episodes. It probably took a lot of effort, but they definitely do not need to be harmed by the show any more than they already were.
I wonder how many relationships have been destroyed because of the "lie detector" test. In no way does it detect lies, nor does it make it easier to detect lies.
In fairness 99.9% of the 'relationships' were already broken beyond repair. Toxic relationships wasn't anything new. The show simply exploited it for entertainment.
@@johnmellor932 Part of me believes that the tests were failed on purpose to exploit these already broken relationships even more. At the end of the day the only people who know what the tests mean are the ones doing the test, so how do we the Audience know if they themselves are telling the truth (Ironic, I know). You can lie about a lie detector.
@@johnmellor932 That's is probably the worse problem: Some awful, dangerous relationships might have been prolonged or "saved" by these fake tests as well. It's just as awful if you give a liar a get-out-of-jail-free card!
This show literally only existed so that a rich, pompous, holier-than-thou brat who was effectively handed the good life on a silver platter could openly belittle less fortunate people and get paid to do it. I hate shows like these.
He is like the Opposite of MR BEAST, Instead of being rich and giving to the people, helping out and so on, JK Instead takes from the poor and exploits them, ruining their lives.
Totally agree with you. I graduated with several degrees related to Media and radio production and could not get a job in the industry since, I have no experience, and two I have no "recommendations"'. Basically I was a nobody, since my family was not relaated to the business at all. I survived thruough doing other jobs. I wish I could be given that opportunity that this jerk wasted by bullying people on tv. i think I could have made a difference.
When I was growing up in UK this show was all a lot of people would talk about, I couldn't sit through one episode I felt so uncomfortable watching it. It was so popular to the fact that when all the controversies came to light people would often ignore it and not blame Jeremy at all, even upset when the show stopped airing.
The fact that there lots of people worldwide who still feel like their victim after ruining countless peoples lives has to be one of humanity's greatest tragedies
It comes down to privilege and a lack of a sense of moral responsibility. People who are as good as sociopaths because they're so disconnected from other people that they can't even empathize with someone in a situation they themselves would never be in.
Always people born into wealth and privilege like Jeremy Kyle who suffer the absolute least but whine about it more than anybody. Ultimately these people are weak, and without us poors feeding them and paving their roads and funding their programs they'd all starve.
" ...he did this for an audience who were probably not that much higher in his own estimation but could at least trick themselves into feeling Superior for an hour a day watching him do it to somebody else someone who they almost certainly had more in common with than they did Jeremy" couldn't be more true
@@PrimericanIdol then that would have been your problem. As you accepted his cash to come on the show. The only way is Essex and love Island are worse shows. Thanks for invalidating your own point by your own ignorance
If you have anything in common with the low IQ drags on society featured on the show that are usually fat, disabled, on benefits or do drugs, that should be a wake-up call for you to actually become a person of value instead of a worthless waste of space.
@@damienadama Did you just utterly miss the several parts where people were desperate for x y z and then Jeremy promised it to them? "oh its your fault for accepting going on" even though the show used blatant manipulation of desperate people to get people on in the first place. Way to utterly miss the point of like half the video my guy.
I love that you don’t mince words about how truly sinister and disgusting this sort of exploitation is, it’s important to lay it bare so people realize that this kind of “trashy fun” media does real harm, both on an individual and societal level. It’s despicable to exploit vulnerable groups like this, especially when a “carrot and stick” approach is used to prey on their desperation and poor access to resources. Fantastic video as usual!
100% agree. This type of media is honestly some of the most disgusting forms of explotation in modern media that I've seen in my life. Glad this show got shut down and all, just a dang shame that it took someone dying.
As a kid I loved the Jeremy Kyle show, like back then if you had a day off school watching it was the highlight of your day. Only later as an adult did I see how fucked up it was
In Spain we had some similar shows. Not as extreme as guests were not lied to, but mostly the same. One of them, called “El diario de Patricia” (Patricia’s diary) ended after they tried to reunite a woman with her abuser and he asked her to marry live, and she refused. He killed her not long after and the show got cancelled.
Laura Bozzo is the closest we have here in Mexico. And Bozzo is actually a Peruvian expat who turned tail when the Peruvian tried to nab her for fraud among other things
Why does it not surprise me that not only did Jeremy Kyle come from a privileged background but was also involved in some of the shadiest businesses outside used car sales before going into entertainment...
Rumor has it the character of Lewis Prothero in "V for Vendetta" was loosely based on Jeremy Kyle. You can believe it. The man is absolute evil incarnate.
Jeremy is honestly a snake. He can dish it out but not take it. I remember at the hearing about this show, he didn’t show his face and instead sent out his producers to face the music.
Not to mention he cheated himself on his girlfriend, let's see him sit in front of Elon Musk screaming in his face "You know why you can't admit it? BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHEEEEEATERRRRR!!!!"
Jeremy was very good at bullying people, who he knew he could do that, and yet when he was met by people that he tried to bully and demean, but the moment someone physically went after him, his security always saved him x
@Bones Jones The people Jeremy antagonized on his show were lower financial class than him, so let's see how he likes it when someone higher class than him does the same was the point.
@@marko.rankovic Elon is higher class than him in nothing but wealth. What I think would be a more fitting punishment would be Satan himself making him a permanent guest on a show like his own for all eternity in Hell.
I actually went to be in the audience when I was younger, I used to laugh at the show and think people were just so stupid and/or pathetic in these situations. It was only when I thought on it and saw the actual, real life consequences of the show and the producers that I grew disgusted with them and myself for being so into it way back when. I saw a dude in the corridor just outside of the stage break down after a DNA test told him his daughter wasn't his, it was such a crushing sight, and I really felt for him. It made it worse that the audience had to walk past the guests on the show as we left. I'm glad this show is gone. Absolutely evil.
Jeremy Kyle seems to be a major example of how "cancel culture" often just amounts to celebs and other powerful people whining when they face any consequences for what they say or do. Especially when they've gotten used to being "untouchable".
99% of cancellations are everyday people like Emmanuel Cafferty getting fired/evicted etc. for jokes, circle game, wrongthink and other BS reasons that hardly anyone hears about. 0.9% of cancellations are celebrities like Johny Depp, Jonah Hill or Gina Carano that didn't do anything wrong but were still harassed based on unproven/false allegations or wrongthink. 0.1% of cancellations are people that actually deserved the ire like in this case. So yeah - glorify a system with an accuracy of 1 in 1000.
People speak as if it's a new thing. As if historically there hasn't been precedent for individuals being persecuted for believing in or saying a certain thing. The difference now is we all have interent access and busted social filters.
People often called him out on the show but he would shout over them or they would just cut it in editing. He is a gambling addict and serial cheater himself with multiple children with multiple ex partners. Any time anyone tried to defend themselves or make a valid point, he'd just start yelling catch phrases like put something on the end of it or get a job.
Lol then maybe you should grow a brain. The only way is Essex and love Island are worse shows. Thanks for invalidating your own point by your own ignorance
I never watched this drivel, I always thought watching grass grow or as a special treat maybe watching water evaporate would be much better entertainment. Several people have said that it would have been. I heard about this TV "Star" (in reality a crappite) after the case which brought the show's downfall. Always liked to big it up in the "Big I Am" style on a show which was so hammed up for day time television (aka utter garbage) it was embarrassing. When it came to the crunch after it was decided that the show was to be discontinued where was Big Man then eh ? Hiding, nowhere to be seen proving to be the cowardly arse wipe he truly was.
@@davidroutledge1732 To be fair, there's an odd satisfaction to be had in pouring a bit of water on a hot car bonnet, and watching it diminish rapily, but that's just me, I'm easily amused, would never watch this though.
I feel bad to be honest, I use to laugh at this show back as a teenager. But I caught on later that it was laughing at the most vulnerable and down on their luck in the UK. In fact my Brother even saw one of his own friends go onto this show at one point, He was shocked to see that.
The difference is, you were an immature child back then and grew up. Jeremy Kyle is a grown man who did this shi†. Arguably twice, if you consider his radio show.
@@Pats1234 Still, it was the tv views that mattered, and My household gave them too the show. Also as someone who has a disability and been around others with more severe ones. It does make me feel wrong that I once laughed along with the Audience.
You were a kid and you learned to understand the show was wrong. No shame in that. I watched the springer show as a kid and it was pretty much as bad, it's just hard to comprehend as a kid. The adults that watch this stuff on the other hand...
I remember a guy recounting the time he was an audience member for the Jeremy Kyle show after his friend got tickets for him, his girlfriend and himself. This was on TikTok and it was long ago so I may get things wrong. They took a minibus to the studio where the organisers encouraged everyone on the minibus to drink so when they arrived they’ll get “easy” reactions. They then stood outside the studio for 45 minutes to an hour since they film 2 episodes a day so they rotate the audience around from morning to afternoon. He was given the seat and even showed footage of him sitting in the audience in a wide shot. He said that the microphone for Jeremy and the guests were low while the music was loud (yes the heavy rock was blasting through the speakers and which was a harsh wake up call from the mumbling silence). During the breaks (and before the show I should have mentioned) there will be someone like a producer or Jeremy would go around the audience to talk to them and mostly talk to them the way that they talk to the guests. Taking jabs at the appearances and what the person does in a job. Important to not that the op was a heavyset person (no insult) and he kept quiet so by the time the producer/Jeremy got to him they didn’t hold back. Saying about how he wasn’t much to talk and how “he must’ve had a good feast before he left”. At that point op was pissed off but couldn’t leave. Eventually the filming ended and they were herded onto the minibus where now everyone has either been tired out or passed out from the alcohol taking effect. He says he only watched the episode he was in and never watched the show again; more so than before. Not only were they negligent of their guests but also the audience.
I used to be hooked on this show as a teenager...which should have been a red flag. I remembered how shocked I was, when I heard that Jeremy deleted all his episodes. But now that I think about it, I'm glad that people aren't gonna become vulnerable and get exploited on live TV. Edit: Unfortunately, things don't always get better, even after the show was cancelled. R.I.P., Natasha Reddican.
Same here 🙋♀️ fully obsessed with the show. Then there was an episode where he had a baby on the stage screen, waiting out the back to see if their dad was actually their dad. I have never met my dad and instantly put myself In that wee babies shoes. Exploiting a child's broken home for laughs and views is so gross.
Something VERY telling to me is why this show came to be. A talk show named Trisha was being moved to Channel 5 which is owned by the BBC, not Virgin which ITV indeed is. Why did it switch networks? Because ITV refused to let Trisha Godard’s own production crew work on it because they didn’t have to pay thier workers as much as they would by outsourcing. Trisha was very similar to Jeremy Kyle with even the same kinds of topics and even some shared guests; lie detectors and all. Biggest difference was that Trisha also had a body language expert as well just to make things even more unreliable. Trisha ended in 2010 which was blamed on a lot of people cancelling thier TV licenses as a result of the 2008 Financial Crisis although many say a guest killed themselves after appearing so Channel 5 got cold feet. Back on topic, Virgin liked the ratings Trisha brought in because it was controversial and they just so happened to have a radio host who did something very similar and got a lotta listeners. Fun fact; Jeremy Kyle was also going to originally have a body language expert but then Channel 5 threatened to sue because that would have been too on the nose.
@@tomasviane3844 is it reasonable to partially blame vulnerable or inexperienced people, manipulated by a carefully crafted product specifically designed to do that, for the harm that product caused? I don't think so
I'm not from the UK, but i remember stumbling on clips of the show on you tube and "hard to look away" is a good description. I just remember felling terribly sorry for so many of those people. Sure, you'd have vile, evil and stupid people, but there were also good, lost and victmized people, looking for help and falling into the show's trap.
other main talk shows use the same tactics,getting the guests hyped up before they come into the main stage ,to go and fight straight away...its well known by now ,dr phil,springer,and them others that are similar...
I remember years ago I used to watch Jeremy Kyle, and like most people back then, I used to find it slightly amusing. It wasn't something I would pay too much attention to, I would just casually watch it while I was walking past etc. I remember almost getting into a fight at 10AM in the morning, with a guy I used to work with. He had been drinking the night before, and was still drunk, and we were watching Jeremy Kyle at work. The person on the stage was being ripped apart with Jeremy's usual abuse, and the drunk guy sitting next to me was loving it. He was shouting at the TV, he was begging Jeremy to punch the guy etc, and I remember starting to feel more and more aggravated with how much he was enjoying it. So I just leaned over to the drunk and told him to shut the fuck up, or else I was going to drag him into the toilet and beat the shit out of him. Predictably, he backed down (although he kept glaring at me when he thought I wasn't looking, as he didn't have the balls to do anything about it). I remember thinking at the time, this guy is the Jeremy Kyle audience. A bunch of spineless, nasty little bastards who get off watching other people being humiliated. This is why so many people have a deep sense of there being something wrong with the Jeremy Kyle show. Enjoying it the equivalent of cheering while you watch a slave getting the skin whipped off his back, or Christians being thrown to the lions in the grand arena. You would have to be a nasty angry sick little shit to enjoy it.
There are definitely more shows on British TV that could do with being cancelled. You only have to look into how many Love Island contestants have also died to see there's a worrying pattern
It's the same people watching that garbage, they just dress it up in different excuses. People who think it's entertaining to watch negative dramas in other people's lives, manufactured for TV, are intellectually challenged and have nothing better going on in their lives. They need all this drama to make them feel something.
X Factor, Love Island, Naked Attraction and others like it are all shallow repulsive, exploitative shows, that appeal to the lowest common denominator in us all.
My favourite thing about the show was that if the person he was talking trash to would challenge him, he would immediately hide behind his hired muscle and keep talking trash to them. He literally acted like that one kid in high school who talked trash and hid behind his friends when he was challenged on national television with a live studio audience.
I used to watch this back when I was a teenager. I always felt like something was off but still watched on. How many of these lie detector test results were falsified/botched for the sake of ratings at the cost of people's lives.
The worst thing to me is how many copycats this show inspired worldwide. I'm not from the UK and have never heard of this guy, but I could instantly recognize the set and the show format. I've seen it many times on my local TV, on several different channels, by a variety of names. But always the same premise, the same manipulation, the same disrespect towards people.
We have this kind of show here but it is never with real people, the stories they tell are like "your father was an alien" or "I'm bald and hid it from you during all our time together"
I was on the Trisha show for part of one episode to support my mum who perhaps still hasn't got over my dad taking his own life, her finding him and the complete opposite of support from my dad's family even though they were approached by her who begged them for the help they failed to offer in any measurable amount whatsoever. The Trisha show done similar things to me and my mum to what you've described here. I was only maybe 20 or younger. They hounded me and asked me very detailed and upsetting questions throughout what could be described as a police investigation interview. The two girls that interviewed me came across as my best friend when in reality the things they were saying to me should have been illegal. We were also split up for a very long time but my memory of that day is extremely hazy. When someone goes through trauma especially repeated trauma you get to learn to erase certain things and it can be hard to remember even if you want to. The Trisha show came across as a nice talk show. But the reality was we were abused with icing on top . The Jeremy Kyle show needs to be held accountable for his 14 years of abuse of vulnerable people. (Edit, fixed autocorrect problems)
Never liked him, but i did see one thing that he did that i liked. And that was after a man told how his girlfriend abused him, the audience laughed, and Jeremy called them out saying "if the roles were reversed, you would be horrified" or something like that.
And he did that only so he could get the reaction on camera. This creature is evil. Just because you thought you saw him do something reasonable does not negate the gargantuan MOUNTAIN of evil he inflicted on others.
@@ct5625 Agreed. And if Kyle really cared about any of his guests. Or, if he had any decency about him, something inside would have made him feel profoundly uncomfortable parading unfortunate people around for ratings, on his TV freak show. Instead he appeared quite at home bawling his pompous head off each week, for 14 years!
@@ct5625 How do you know that’s why? lol It’s wild how the internet has itself convinced that crappy people never have decent moments & decent people never have crappy moments. Maybe he’s just a trash person, who genuinely didn’t like the double standards of the audience? You have no idea why he said what he said, but you confidently correct others, as if you’re speaking undisputed facts.
The audience in that show are such fake people, all have their own issues but pretend like they're superior. And yeah, Jeremy only said that to make himself look good and as if he cares, if he did care he woulsnt air the show in the first fucking place
*The only thing worse than a man who hurts people in the shadows, is a man who hurts people in front of a live audience, listening to the cheers from the crowd as chaos reigns.*
Lol. Maybe have a think to yourself who was worse the Crowd or the man. If Jeremy has any fault then so does is viewers and audience as they mostly messed up their lives and sat watch Jeremy Kyle all day or better yet had 3 kids to 3 different dads so take up a lot of tax money
I remember this coming on every single day when I was coming home from school. It was some of the worst types of media that I've ever really experienced. The fact that they had someone like Jeremy Kyle belittle and berate people who he thought were underneath him on public television with the facade of 'helping them' still angers me to this day. Thanks for the video on this. Very well done as always, Kira.
The saddest episode I can remember, and an episode which is probably only remembered by me and those guests as it passed un remarked upon, was were Jeremy Kyle met his match in manipulation and superiority. And was reeled in hook line and sinker. A narcissistic, psychopathic abusive man had stolen the children from their mother and kept them separated. He had spread loads of rumors about her as a mother, as an abandoner. She had once got close enough to see her children over the back garden fence before he came out and beat her unconscious! She trusted Jeramey. He didn't realise that in the UK possession is custody when it comes to kids and perants.....and he had been taken in by this man. So this poor women met with two men berating her and abusing her and left with a whole audience thinking she was the terrible abuser and abandoner this psychopath had painted her to be.
Alright, now this is too much. That poor soul lost her kids, the only possession mothers are close with. I really now want him to rot in hell with the guy.
Had a family member hounded for months and months to go on the show, offered to just pay her outright. Wisely she refused. People who were found 'guilty' on the show had their lives destroyed. Even if you were ultimately the 'victim', you often didn't come out smelling like roses either. Absolutely sick show, a modern day colosseum with a depraved mob cheering for blood.
@@tvctaswegia497 the millions for giving him the platform. this filth wouldn't exist without the demand for it. Uk's a fcking joke of a country with some of the worst of humanity
Yup. At least in the Roman circuses the audience was never under the false impression that gladiators were being helped through being forced to fight one another or wild animals.
Thank you for blurring the faces of the guests on the show. They don't deserve any more abuse or indignity. The Jeremy Kyle Show is in the same vein as the Jerry Springer show, yes, but also (in my opinion) as Dr. Phil. People who want (and need) genuine help, acknowledge this fact, and think going on one of these shows might be their ticket to getting it. Mental health and addiction care is too expensive and inaccessible for nearly everyone not only in the US but most places. We all deserve better.
I'm told all the time that everywhere beside the US has the best healthcare in the world. So, why is your free healthcare not covering basic healthcare needs?
I know a couple (a few actually) who went on Jeremy Kyle so have a first-hand account of the shows shenanigans. They thought they were going there for help with alcohol addiction but things didn't quite pan out that way. The morning of filming they weren't allowed to go anywhere and obviously needed a drink, the show said no problem we'll get you a drink - one swig of supposed vodka was enough to check the label and find out it was 0% alcohol. They kicked up a fuss and went out themselves to get some vodka without any cash, not an obstacle for any addict. Anyway they do indeed split you up to dig out conflicts ripe enough for good TV, long story short the couple thought it was one of them shows where things are calm and you discuss your alcohol abuse then onto a detox! They brought the missus out first and Jeremy went straight to relationship issues so by the time he came out he was the villain, she ended up in hysterics crying but my pal stayed calm, composed and didn't bite (Jeremy tried though along with manipulating his missus, a woman clearly in a poor mental state). They did go to rehab but their alcohol problem only got a brief mention at the end as they were sent off stage "Graham and the aftercare team will work backstage" blah, blah, blah. There was more dodgy stuff but this was long ago and my memories on part-time. The icing on the cake for me though is being in prison with him some months later on morning associtation (pad doors were left open) and he's downstairs in the methadone queue 💀 when someone shouts "Bob, you're on Jeremy Kyle" lmao everyone piled into the nearest pad for a TV. He was well dressed and gave a good account of himself so came off looking alright but his missus not so good. If you're reading this Boab (not a misspelling) I hope you're healthy and happy bro. ✌️
@@HawaiiKnut that show was full of dirty tricks and should never have been allowed to operate as they often did. They definitely tried getting my mate and his missus onstage withdrawing to make them more vulnerable and behave erratically for the TV - I believe what I was told 100% , no question about it.
My GP surgery used to have the TV on all day, and since I was usually there in the morning they had Jeremy Kyle on. Can barely think of a worse thing to be showing to patients. They no longer have a TV on thankfully.
I was in the UK for 10 years. Was always shocked that they have a TV in the waiting room. With ads and stupid programs. tells you a lot about the level of care and consideration.
The abortion clinic I once used had this on in the lobby. Can you even imagine?! There were women there, including me, making likely the most difficult and painful decision they might ever have to make in their lives, and this show was on. Worst of all, it was a "who's the father?" episode. I wish I had been strong enough to speak up and tell them to take this shit off their TV screens but I was already at rock bottom.
We had such a horrendous show for more than 10 years. My mother and my grandfather used to love it, I absolutely hated it and it led to long arguments, as I would always leave the house to walk outside, even missing dinner, and they would refused to badge and shut down that abomination. On the positive side, it led me to hate TV and shows that much, I don't even have a TV. And yeah, there is some irony in watching YT, but at least here I can watch educational shows, gaming media and etc. I am having some control over what I am being fed.
Seriously tho, nothing used to make me more mad than commercials. Even to this day I mute my phone when an ad pops up. Why do I have to listen to garbage when I want to see cute puppies playing😡
Same. I haven't watched terrestrial TV for probably almost 20 years now. There's nothing that interests me. 99% of it is garbage, exploitation, feeding idiocy to idiot minds.
I live in the us, so thankfully we didn't have to deal with him that long. I grew up poor, so we used an antenna and one channel had episodes of the Jeremy Kyle show. I guess they bought some episodes or it was just finally brought over here, I don't know how tv works. Thankfully it only lasted maybe a year from what I remember. To me, it was like Jerry Springer vs Maury, but with a guy who came off as arrogant, weird, had an accent, and yelled a lot.
Steve Dimond story shocked me. I have been dealing with substance abuse issues. I was a pathological liar. I grew up with dyslexia, am a CSA survivor. This isn't to pity me. I just want to point out you don't get a pathological liar without a reason.
something about this show always made me uncomfortable, especially as i got older, but i'd never really dug into Jeremy's background before. honestly can't say i'm surprised, vile human.
R.I.P poor Steve, my thoughts go out to him and his family, I'm so glad the show has been taken off air permanently, it was clear evidence that the show was praying on vulnerable people, the lie detector test shouldn't be on there.
Pretty much the modern day version of a "freak show" or public execution. We all get to gawp on and marvel at how better we are than the spectacle in front of us, and how they can bathe in the broth of our righteous indignation 🙄
Which is why I am very glad Jordan Peele gave us the movie Nope last year. It's commentary on this exact kind of stuff and how we inflict trauma upon ourselves for the spectacle of it all is more important now than it ever has been.
@Thomas Shelby I've seen it and found it entertaining at times and indulged in this. It's just human nature to like a good spectacle. I agree with the video really but I don't think you're an arsehole
When i was a teen my mum used to watch this all the time, and even then i used to wonder why she found such glee in looking down on people who were in the same social situation as we were. The "YOU'RE SCUM" stuff was a meme quite early into the show but most people unironically loved it. I had a friend who got taken on it once when we were like 20; luckily, he never suffered that much as a result to my knowledge, but the social stigma followed for ages. People trying to find it on the TVs at work, crackin jokes and stuff. He ended up just walking off the show while his own mum shouted at him. Mad. He told me it was great because he got paid to go out drinking the night before by their team, but how true that is I can't say.
10/10 Kira. Great documentary on that vile worm of a human. Finding out what went on behind the scenes does not surprise me. People have always loved a circus, sadly they never realise it's at the detriment to their own kind.
I lived next to someone who went on here (an 18 year old girl at the time). Anyone who didn't live in the UK at the time this was around can't possibly understand the deep effect this had on society, at least your "average" people (middle/lower working). People would quote it, adjust their relationships based on it, threaten to "go on jezza". Use things Jeremy said during arguments, etc etc. It was such a big thing. And it was utterly disgusting, so glad everyone recognizes him for what he is these days. LOVE that his recent comeback attempt mostly failed.
Nah doesn't excuse the people who watched it loads back then, I was a teen and saw it for what it was, a clownshow for people to laugh at, they're just as bad as Jeremy if they didn't watch it wouldn't have lasted a year
The fact that this show ran for 14 years proves the fact that for all the performative kindness people put on, they'll gladly watch you suffer for a quick laugh, then shrug their shoulders and move on when the pain becomes to much too bear. If you're a loser, you were born to die.
100% right. These same people, when given a chance, could vote for candidates that could lead to policies to help some of the people on shows like this and they just won't do it. People tend to be selfish and instead of bettering themselves, would rather look down upon someone less fortunate. Its always a pity that it isn't the Jeremy Kyle's of the world that chose to check out early.
As a kid I remember finding it funny seeing all the arguments and fights. As I grew a bit older I found it more sad, questioning why people would go on. Then it just became depressing, not just the people's lives but the show itself, the idea of broadcasting things that didn't need to be broadcasted. By the time I heard the show we cancelled I hadn't seen an episode in ages, and I wasn't really that surprised.
I do think shows like this will be seen as a black mark on our society, taking advantage of vulnerable people for jeering entertainment, people looking for help with the only financially viable option to be get barreted on national TV, to hopefully be given advice after the clown show. With an arrogant host who has more skeletons in the closet tham any of the guests they insult.
Society has always done this, from the Roman Colosseum, to the Salem Witch Trials. It's not a black mark on our society, it's just a reminder that if you think you live in what is laughably called 'civilisation', you don't. Humans at their core, have not changed.
When I watched this show I literally felt physically sick seeing how Jeremy Kuntle treated the people on his show. I couldn't understand how he had an audience and why people kept watching him. He's a disgusting example of a human being.
I was always suspicious about how come the guests would EVERY SINGLE TIME go running into the stage to fight the other guests they were in a conflict with. Usually it doesn't work that way, you would first have them quiet and not even looking at each other and then they'd start arguing and then maybe and ONLY just maybe a scuffle. No, in this show they went right for the climax and my mind would always brush it off as "these are just chavs who can't control their temper". What you said about them getting manipulated for hours each in separate rooms makes so much sense now, I guess I just wasn't smart enough to understand how sick and evil these producers are to exploit vulnerable people to an extent like that. As for jeremy, he needs to be in jail.
Oh that story is so sad. How heartbreaking. I am really enjoying your documentaries exploring things I have not heard about and not sticking just to topics everyone is covering due to trends. For example, your video on Da Baby. I had no idea about his backstory and I'm glad to know. Very professional work!
Kira laying out incredible and fair insight I never would get from any other source, cannot thank you enough for how you conduct your channel and represent the content delivered
Two things i hated about this show, one: The media's use of the word "Died", refusing to call it what it really was, suicide. Two: the lie detector, it is NOT an actual lie detector, it does not work in that way and is not 100% reliable.
In the US, many similar shows like Jerry Springier tend to cast fans of the show as guests and everyone is basically in on it. The guests present exaggerated versions of themselves, its almost like pro wrestling.
@@sandrasanders706 The community likes them and I don't feel like dumping on their thing. If you look up Springers political history you'll see he's a good guy and should have run for higher office.
@@sandrasanders706 I'm not a fan either, but it's far more respectable than Jeremy Kyle. With Springer, everyone is in on the joke. The majority of it is basically a giant improv stage-play. Jeremy just wants to exploit broken people.
Same problem I have with Maury show (there are many problems but Im just talking about one), the audience is always ganging up on the man, booing after every sentence, and then if it turns out that the woman was lying and the man is innocent, the audience suddenly does a 180 acting like they were on the man's side the whole time. Like jesus talk about brainlessly infuriating
I remember being young that the last time I watched Maury they had a baby on stage who was unusually big.. it woke me up even at that age that the baby wasn't given clothes just so you can seethe child and it hurt my heart.. after that I did homeschooling in the other room to avoid it.
@@dorkydragon5055 You should not mock anyone with food phobia in public ever. Forcing them to eat something that makes them retch is not helping. I have seen few shows mocking people for this. I guarantee school years were hell for these people as I know it first hand. I would give away my sense of taste to be normal and able to eat anything.
Looking at shows like this one and many here in the States, it seems clear how both we and the UK have created a situation where acts of performative cruelty are not only tolerated, but popular and accepted, even expected behavior.
There is a similar TV show in Russia called Мужское / Женское, which is even more extreme than the Jeremy Kyle show. The show hosts do mock the guests and the footage often shows lots of violent acts and real graphic footage. The most insane part was with a woman that was tortured and kept hostage by her husband and the people made fun of her, but promised their "help"
After the stas reeflay drama that's not surprising. That type of content seems to be very popular/lucrative there. However that genre seems normal in post communist countries
@@GOTTA_RUN Screenshot the post copy "Мужское / Женское" then paste it running it through Yandex Browser. I am totally ignorant of understanding the Russian language, but an interesting rabbit hole to see Russian TV via Russian internet.
My mother and sister would watch this show a lot when I was growing up and I never understood their fascination with it. Hell even I would sometimes sit there and try to work out if the person was guilty or not. I remember one episode where the polygraph said one thing and I felt so strongly the opposite, liars can sometimes be convincing but I'd never seen a more sincere portrayal in my life and I was convinced it was the polygraph that was wrong. Our family was raised in poverty, three kids, one parent, on benefits, council housing, all of it. We were so close to being the exact type of people the show exploited and yet we watched it anyway.
Why did you watch this video? Did you enjoy hearing the narrator critique J.K and about him losing his show? It's a form of entertainment, no matter how you dress it up or down it's still the same. People enjoy watching scumbags getting called out, they love drama. It's entertaining. We can all act like we are better than those who watch these programs but in truth we are no better. Here we are watching our own version of it. Sure, we can twist it and say it's different bc it's about the host but in reality it's about the drama.
They should have had a last episode special and made Jeremy the guest then confront him with everything he had done wrong in his life, I wonder what his lie detector results would have been?
Ya.. because it was JK who forced them into bad life choices ? Hardly . They all knew what was up when they signed on to the circus . These arent teen aged girls being kidnapped and sold in kabob shops ... they are Adults .. obviously morons, but thats how life is . Some people have regrets with whom they sleep with ... some have regrets for being Paid to go on tv and make a fool of themselves . Its a Choice, not a single one was forced to do this, they got paid, Signed a Contract im sure too.
@@fetus2280 He was involved in the fake lie detector tests though, if the result was inconclusive they would just say guilty, Jeremy himself would make a good guest, married 3 times, several affairs while he was married with younger women, and a gambling addiction.
@@jasonphillips5816 He would have done for definite, an example of this was when he was married to his second wife, they both cheated on each other (she cheated with a polo player, Jeremy had a full-on affair with the kids' nanny who was also best friends with the wife). The big difference is that her infidelity was quite well publicised, but he managed to keep his infidelity quiet until the JK show was cancelled...................... He ended up getting married to the nanny whom he had the affair with in the first place. Jeremy is by far the biggest hypocrite this country has ever seen.
I used to watch these as a teen. I was angry as a teen, so watching these made me feel better. Now I feel sorry for all the victims that got reeled in, hoping to get some answers to their questions
Outstanding work, just fantastic stuff. Kira went deeper into this than any other video I've seen on this vile disgrace of a man + the enablers of the Jeremys of this world.
More great content i really hope this one isn't demonetized as your newer content is cracking . I was worried when you said you were moving way from gaming but glad i stuck around
@@pikajew3578 Nope, they were Ill, you don't know them so don't start talking about people like that... Afterall, like this video states, the show manipulated people and made them much MUCH angrier than they needed to me, if this never happened I reckon ALL people seen would have been happy to talk etc. But JK stopped that and he is the cause of these people going to war. In what world does someone eating CERIAL cause a huge war that ends relationships.... Really.....
My friend went on this show. She accused her boyfriend of cheating on her. Even though I knew he was a scumbag and probably did, I made sure to explain polygraphs were complete bullshit. But regardless he failed the polygraph and admitted he cheated, which in turn made me look the fool a bit. She found another fella and went on to live a happy life at least.
I've never heard of this show, but I also don't watch much on TV in general. It used to be that Fear Factor was the worst one I could name. Now I have this to refer to. I actually teared up over hearing about the outcome of Dyamond's story and the woman who took her own life shortly after. Very effective video, as to be expected of you, Kira. Looking forward to seeing more, as usual.
I was in the audience a while back. The tickets were free and we were having a night out in Greater Manchester anyway so we went. Jeremy was very rude to his staff, swearing and throwing his earpiece at them. What I saw live was completely different to when it aired on tv. Oh and also there are cues on when to boo, cheer and clap.
I couldn't believe what I was watching when this was on in the break room at a past job. Knowing that polygraphs are rubbish, I watched the results of one getting used to tear someone's life apart. It should have been criminal.
The framing of this video is perfect. You talk about “you” as if it’s the royal “you”, referring to the audiences of this show so it doesn’t feel like you’re attacking each one of us personally, but at the same time , it is us. It’s each and every one of the people that found entertainment in the ruining of someone’s life, regardless of motivation. I personally have never seen a single episode of this show and I thought hard about the way I consume media and reality shows and even true crime. Bravo.
Kinda depressing that everyones mum growing up guaranteed was watching Jeremy Kyle while doing the ironing as you were at school. Depressing part of british culture.
@@MrJimmyTide True, but they weren't such pricks towards their guests. Springer was pretty light hearted rather than some moralist twat. He knew it was all just a show.
It is depressing but it's sort of in our nature as humans to be curious about things that are somewhat disturbing and it's what these shows prey on. I'm sure everyone has overheard an argument or domestic issue in the street or from neighbours and listened in out of curiosity, it the same sort of thing really but packaged as a TV show. I think reality TV in general is super depressing and leads to a lot of vulnerable people being exploited for the sake of drama.
I feel like collateral damage is inevitable with shows like this. I am actually surprised there wasn't more self cancellation incidents. These people really need to understand what they are getting into before going on the air. Although there will always be people who will fail to understand the repercussions until its already too late.
That's the thing though, the production team went out of their way to make sure the checks and balances that would keep legit vulnerable people off the show never got enforced.
@@Roler42 Yeah but thats because if they had some of their best content likely would have never gotten made.They were more than willing to allow collateral damage to keep the wheels turning.
Something that bothers me and I am not sure about is regarding the death of the producer, Natasha Reddican. The way some articles write about her suicide is that the motive was moreso the fact she lost her job that she cherished. Yes, her job at Jeremy Kyle Show. It feels like the implication is that it isn't the shame or guilt that her episode resulted in a death of the guest but rather that the episode resulted in the end of the show itself. Quotes saying that she was distraught for having caused tons of job losses and she lost her own position, of which she was being praised for being really good at. Her suicide apparently took place after she failed to advance in the interview process for a new job. If that's the case, did anybody on the production team have any remorse for the lives they ruined?!
I call bullsh*t on this whole “producers ruined lives” thing. What do you know about people? All people in general? They talk. You’re seriously telling me that all these guests were ill-treated over the span of 15 years but no one said sh*t until the show was cancelled? Same for the staff “behind the scenes”. If you don’t say anything when you can help at the time I’m gonna call “bullsh*t” on your whole account!
@AgapeForgotten That was a legendary segment. The cut to him dressed as Dr. Phil had me cracking up. My bed was squeaking as if I were wrestling with my uncle, except he wasn't there. I haven't seen him in a long time, was told he was going away for a while. Maybe he went to see my dad, I wonder if they ever wrestle
@@LoganBlazer38 I know, and it was very important message. "Dude, if you're going to berate me for using people in need to get rich, maybe you should start by making sure you aren't even worse"
Jezza’s Confessions was broadcast on the now defunct Birmingham radio station BRMB. This show also ran a competition called Two Strangers and a Wedding. The marriage between the strangers didn’t last, and Jezza ended up in a relationship with the woman. Unbelievable. The man has no shame.
Great video, Kira! I remember watching youtube records of that "show" and only years later, when I got my diploma as a psychologist, have I thought about the insidious nature of the whole thing. All for "the show's sake", no matter the cost. Inhumane...
As a pyschologist, wouldn't you rather say it is "humane" as human nature truly is brutal like this? Like it or not, we have always used other's suffering as our amusement, be it fake or real. I just find it curious when people automatically use the word humane as something positive, when humanity is really not all that positive in many cases. Only recently have we grown any morals, and even now we are mostly fine with others suffering for out benefit as long as we don't have to watch it happen, but indeed many do enjoy watching it happen. Which makes one think their role as a human being, doesn't it?
@@viikable There is a large spectrum between the lowest sub-animal-like 'human being' and the most virtuous and compassionate one. Humane is a word, in my view, that describes the more virtuous side of what it means to be human. Yes, there is more than enough examples of how cruel humans can be. But the opposite is also true. The difference is entirely on who is actively looking to see the worst in humans and who is looking to find the best in us. The worse things are always on display, be it in the news or social media. The good stuff is hard to find, as genuine good 'humane' things are never done for show - they are just done quietly.
When I laugh at someone falling, it's not at THEIR pain, it's just that natural reaction to someone going "smack", but even so...when I see it right in front of me, it's not funny. As you said, watching it on TV, the implication is they're okay, they submitted the video of them falling because they were cool with it, etc.
It took me way too long to figure it out. I was watching what was clearly a very old Japanese tv show called “Takeshi’s Castle” with the original commentator replaced by an English one, back when I was in my early twenties and a few episodes in, I noticed one of the contestants take a particularly heavy impact when rushing through this big obstacle course with around 80 other contestants in a big jumble. (They started with 100 and whittled them down across the rounds of courses.) It was one of those impacts where you just instinctively know that it hurt that person and my eyes locked onto him. But he didn’t get back up again like everyone else that got knocked off their feet. He was clearly still alive and conscious but he didn’t even try to get back up on his feet, instead half curling up a bit. And then the camera angle changed and that was the last I saw of him despite looking for him for the rest of the episode. And that’s when the question of why I was laughing hit me. And it ruined the show and those similar ones with “funny clips” of people hurting themselves.
@@mikoto7693 sounds like the fencing response, when that occurs its extremely important to not move the person around and call for medical help immediately as brain damage is likely
It's incredible to me not just that a show like this was greenlit in the first place, but that they managed to keep it running with the staff willingly partaking in such disgusting exploitation and deception.
it was very popular on radio,thats why it got the go ahead,anything that becomes very popular on radio or small time media ,usually gets a chance on a major channel....
That he still gets on to receive favorable media exposure is telling lots about the industry, as if the whole Pedowood scandals in recent decades wasn't bad enough.
The pedowood stuff is a different issue albeit very similar. Rather than exploitation of those that wish to be successful in very cut-throat industry that are preyed upon for sexual means Jeremy Kyle was - as Kira put it very well - class warfare that is meant divide us rather than ask the very real questions of why people end up in the state that they are rather than ask what services could've helped them before seeking advice from a rich boy who will cause more strife than turning to a system that should help them rather than demonise them.
Really great video, I love how well edited and informative your content is, and the choice of topics is always something really interesting that I've somehow never heard about before.
Looking back on the JK show, I thought that everything that happened in the episodes were normal, authentic reactions (which they were), but I didn't realise until a couple years ago that the producers would wind up the guests backstage, hence why 99% of the time they'd all come running on stage rowing at each other.
The polygraph isn't a lie detector, it's an interrogation tool. John Larsen, the creator of the original iteration of the machine, the cardio-pneumo-pyschogram, spent his remaining days trying to discredit his own invention because he knew it was a dangerous fraud. Can't imagine how many lives it unfairly ruined on this vile programme.
Yeah exactly you might as well have random people stand up there and say if someone is telling the truth or not. The Creator said it was The worst invention he ever made it's no more accurate than a coin flip.
That reminds me of the guy that originally proposed the idea of Alpha wolves in wolf packs. After publishing his results he realized it was incorrect because he was using domesticated wolves instead of wild ones. He spent the rest of his life trying to tell everyone that he was wrong, but his original report was far too well by that point for him to undo it and correct himself.
Exactly. Fucking disgusting
If a polygraph was deadly accurate they would be used in pretty much every court case going. As it is, I am not sure any country uses polygraph tests as proof of innocence or guilt as as you say, they are not accurate. Many factors can throw a polygraph off. But put one on a show that is watched mostly by the lowest common denominator, then of course it adds spice to those ridiculous stories. Jeremy Kyle was, is and always will be an utter scumbag.
@@albinofroggy It's a really interesting topic, and far more common than people realise especially in the medical science and research field. Famously, Sigmund Freud refuted his research and diagnoses of female hysteria. The monster becomes bigger than the box it came from.
Jeremy Kyle really be like "I falsified a lie detector test and convinced a woman that her husband cheated on her and drove him to suicide all for a laugh at the expense of the disgusting poors and lost my show, cancel culture has officially gone too far!"
Failing a polygraph is as simple as having very discrepant reactions from baseline, this guy, even if a pathological liar, would have likely been so emotionally distraught over the issues prior to coming on the show, that his responses would be deviating from baseline.
Yes it has. Look how this only got 332k views? this is what people should care to cancel, but instead Mr. Beast curing blind people gets more hate.

It's okay when you're rich. ;)
Really? Never knew that but it doesn't suprise me, he should be a billionaire after 2000 shows and where is he now? Talk TV 🤣
Lol when you are rich addiction isn't a problem until it literally kills you
He still does, he owns race horses and gives betting tips but its ok now hes ritch
He was pretty open about that though. It wasn't like he was hiding it (after it became public).
IT's also called tough love, or breaking someone down before building them back up.
He was the asshole, then he brings someone in who is more sympathetic... Classic good cop/ bad cop.
Also... It was a TV show. No one watched Jerry Springer for anything but the fights, no one watched Jeremy Kyle for him actually helping people.
Thank you for blurring the faces of these victims on the show. I’m glad you’re not exploiting or embarrassing them further
Not to mention the amount of work it must've taken. Kudos.
Considering that Kira is pretty clearly in the victims’ corner, I don’t think the exploitation aspect would be there. But some embarrassment? Yeah.
Seriously, respect
@@redjed100did those people agree to be put in Kira's show? If not, then it would be exploitative. The standards for what is exploitative should not be high--- if there's a good possibility that it would make these people feel bad, and there is, then it is exploitative.
@@arglebargle5531 I mean, I think they’d feel ashamed, especially in hindsight, but when considering the video being firmly in their corner, I find it hard to go so far as to say that it would be exploitative in context.
One point of contention I always have with these shows is they really need to start calling the tests the appropriate name, polygraphs, and it needs to be shouted in the heavens that polygraphs are useless. The only thing they measure is heart rate, respiration and perspiration and cannot determine if the reaction was based on lying, nervousness, or any other factor.
Yea its crazy, at least here in Sweden you cant even use them in court cause they are deemed to inaccurate
Yeah who wouldn't be nervous when being accused of some of the things on the show, regardless of if you're guilty or not
The act of taking a polygraph can be so nerve wracking that it'll set them off. They need to be disowned and removed entirely because of how bad they are.
The best argument against the polygraph is the case of Aldrich Ames, who rose to be DIRECTOR OF THE CIA despite being a SOVIET SPY. They are very fond of polygraphs in the CIA. Either they failed to show he was lying, or they did show he was lying but the operators assumed the results were nonsense.
@@ollis234 I don't think they ever been used even in any function?
I worked with someone whose brother went on the JK show. When he told me about it he was talking about how they pay the guests, put them up in a hotel and the potential for fame was also a factor. They were taking advantage of people living in poverty, straight up. What's a couple of hundred quid to the production company that makes one of the most popular TV show? Nothing. But to these people it was substantial.
I wasn't aware of the added psychological manipulation, but it doesn't surprise me.
And even after people have killed themselves, Kyle is now blaming the matrix for getting him cancelled. What a disgusting psychopath.
Where did he mention the matrix?
@@beybladebaby Sorry, I thought my topical joke (in the context of Logan Paul's non-apology) was obvious. Will try to avoid sarcasm in TH-cam comments from now on ;)
@@JJKebab9 Nah I got the joke! Keep the sarcasm alive, it's the best type of humour when it lands.
I always wondered why would people act so over the top on these shows. Why it was so easy to be undignified. I thought they must be actors, no they were just poor people told to act. I lived near poor area and they never acted like this on real life even if there was alcohol and drugs involved. These shows are the worst. At least Roman colusseum didn't make the lion and gladiator go through polygraph to prove they didn't cheat. I think even the most carnage-loving roman would have said "Well this is f'd up."
@@kissarococo2459 Yes, even Nero Imperator would have said "haec res nocenti est".

My sister used to watch this show a lot and I never got the appeal of it. When I asked her, "Why do you watch this show?", her response was "because it makes me feel better about my situation". Your point about people who watch it being people in similar or relatable situations to these people really rang true there.
Like I could listen to Steve O talk about his drug problems than have to witness someone being bullied and exploited over their issues
What's wrong with finding solace that you could be worse? I think internet lolcows serve the same purpose of ''hey, you might be bad but at least you're not this person'' which is a comforting thing for many people and helps them shift the negative perspective about themselves, because we need to be reminded that we could be a lot worse and that there is proof of that in the flesh.
@@pikajew3578 If you are comparing yourself to another person and thinking "Well, at least I am not as bad as that person" ...THEN YOU ARE EVEN WORSE! Where is your f**king compassion?!
@@pikajew3578 true, however there is a difference between just feeling better about your situation, and feeling that it’s okay to bully others for their situation. Seeing other people situations that are worse than theirs can be humbling for some people, but for others, it gives them a power dynamic, a superiority complex like Jermey has shown countless times in the show.
@@pikajew3578 Or people could just learn to man up and make something of themselves.
I remember this one episode where thie little girl was accused of theft and she denied it over and over and was sobbing and was surrounded by her family cameras and Jeremy all hounding her and she said yes finally, but it was so fucking clear she was just breaking under the pressure. That was the final straw for me.
He's a horrible bastard
It was a torture chamber
Yet this is what people chose to watch, so is Jeremy really the only demon here?
@jdbruiser by that logic you could argue that the citizens of north Korea are dictated by their own choice
And that actually happens I admitted stealing once because the interrogation was to much
It's a way to make it end
This is like if dr. Phil was actually honest about what his show really was
The closest moment I’ve seen to honesty on Dr Phil was when he had the online Bum Fights guy on. He came in dressed up as Dr Phil. Didn’t even get through his introductory video.
@@WellWoopdidoo Haha i remember bum fights, that show was awesome. Like jackass. gonna have another look cheers for reminding me
Thing is- he helped them at the end and tried to use therapy. He didn't just yell at his guests like this lmfao
Dr Phil is NOTHING like this
Closer to Maury than Dr. Phil
I come from a low income area of Yorkshire. My uncle was on the show once and my brother was invited on twice (but refused). The craziest part is that the producers don't need to hunt to find the most exploitable in society - these people saw it as genuine conflict resolution and offered themselves up willingly.
Indeed, show was ubiquitous in the Midlands. I'm from Derbyshire myself and everyone watched it, every estate had multiple people who went on.
Exactly like Jerry Springer. People LINE UP to be on that show.
That was the case, the two-part documentary showed that producers who came forward anonymously said that in the last 2-3 years of the show, finding guests had become very difficult due to previous guests attempting to go public before the show was cancelled.
People want to be on TV even if it is for a stupid reason
@@LeniDell Springer was heavily scripted. One of my neighbors went on twice lol He has 2 completely different storylines (even different names) & just told to act as ridiculous as possible. It was a free trip to Chicago, & the show covered flights, hotels etc.
It's a shame Jeremy's security was so good.
Catch him on the street.
used to see this show when i was in school used to pray someone would drop him
I hope his security is experiencing karma today.

The definition of "for me but not for thee". Anxiety is only bad if it happens to you and not to the people you exploit. Welcome to our world, buddy

@@anti-ethniccleansing465 Ah, yes. The first thing I think of when I see people getting enjoyment from other people's suffering is "good thing they're all white"
Where Kyle grew up is very telling about his personality honestly. Reading is comparable to somewhere like Harvard elsewhere or MIT in England. It’s the place you go if you want to be a spoiled twat. You want privileged, assholish, white snobbish pricks straight out of an American secondary school movie? Go to Reading or Harvard.
got to love how cowardly kyle really loves hiding behind his guards whenever someone went up to him
yeah at least steve wilkos actually went chest to chest with guests who tried to intimidate him or angered by him.
he also realized how toxic the "jermy kyle" agressive styel of show was so he mellowed out his apporach becoming far more calm and less accusotry.
i belive he even aplogized for the first 2 or 3 seasons of the show its why its the only "lie dectector" show i watch n even then many times it does feel annoying how the audience clearly is just watching it like a boxing match.
There have been guests that have called him out on it.
Like Bill Maher. Macho, macho man!
Are we talking about the part where he threw an envelope at one of his guests, and then shat himself when the guest threw the envelope back at him and hit him in the back of the head? That was priceless, he looked terrified.
My sister used to watch this a lot as a teenager and I kept saying "why do you watch this?" - she never had an answer. As for Jeremy Kyle himself, there was one show where he was walking around somewhere with a group of bodyguards and he began coughing. The camera immediately stopped because someone had fired CS spray at him from a distance, and he later said that thankfully his security team got him to safety, and I couldn't help but think of his entitlement. Sure, getting attacked with CS gas is not pleasant at all, but he spoke of his security team so nonchalantly as if everyone has one.
You do wonder seen as even they admitted their lie detector didn't work, how many people were given false information that ruined their lives.
Same with all the US talk shows who did the same. Lie detectors are BS, yet people like Maury Povich based _dozens_ of episodes on it. So many families broken and lives destroyed, all for nothing.
@@starashield6399 Maybe, but we'll never know. Since he lied about so many things to Jane, it's not unreasonable that she may think he'd been unfaithful to her.
Jeremy's mighty lie detector test- so mighty that the UK courts don't allow the use of them or their results as evidence.
@@starashield6399 Doesnt really matter if it was rigged or not, either way it wouldn't have told the truth for certain.
@@WobblesandBean I dunno, the act of saying "I was in the navy" when you weren't is very different from the act of having sex with someone besides your partner. We don't know if Dymond was seeing other people, but I don't think we should use his compulsive lying as a reason to assume he was unfaithful, particularly since he's now passed and can't defend himself.
In my country there is a show that has some similarities with this one. About two years ago a woman came on the show talking about why she ran away from her husband that was abusive, the guests and host ridiculed her and said it wasn’t that serious and said “ that’s what happens in love” A few months go by and her ex-husband breaks into her house and murders her and her teenage son. Sadly no one lost their job as the show is still going on like nothing happened.
You talking about this show? isn't it gone? And that's tragic
@@jojobizarrelivingstone594no I think moosnaomi is talking about the el diario de Patricia incident read this
“LONDON - Women's groups have condemned a Spanish TV talk show following the death of a woman who turned down an on-air marriage proposal from her ex-boyfriend.
And a leading judge called for a review of such programs following the death of Svetlana Orlova, a 30-year-old mother of one.
Five days after appearing on the Antena 3 program Diario de Patricia (Patricia's Diary), Orlova was found dead at her home in Alicante with her throat cut.
Her ex-boyfriend, Ricardo Navarro, 30, who had also appeared on the daytime show, has been arrested but denies any involvement in her death”
What happened to Steve Dymond is genuinely awful. He and the other victims of these types of shows deserved real help from actual professionals who respected them as people.
His own family didn’t blame Jeremy. And all that “we care” bollocks ITV spouted when they cancelled Jeremy is a load of bull*t because Love Island has 2 deaths directly connected to that show (and arguably a 3rd) but is still on the air … so tits and arses hanging out is fine but not a show that genuinely helped people? Hypocritical f*ckers 😡😡😡
jeremy couldnt care less, money and fame got to his head.
Having faith in "Experts" is a huge mistake. They know very little and the moniker "expert" is just to convinced people with no faith in their own intellectual faculties. Never believe Experts.

If you knew him personally like i do, you wouldnt say that.
@@HomoSnow Ok then, big fella, tell us why he was so awful.
i knew a few people who went on the show from my estate, its hard to overstate how much of a cultural phenomenon it was in the UK. the lie detector test thing had everyone believing they were real. it was always mad to me that nobody questioned it, ever.
they made it out to be a way to work out your issues without needing the money, but, really it was just exploitation of people they knew they could get away with.
It really should be more common knowledge that lie detectors are flawed at best. All they can do is give a slight indication towards the truth, they can't confirm anything.
You have an estate? how many acres? I love an estate... I'd have carp lake and keep deer. Do you have a game keeper... for pheasant hunting and such? Is it true that if you hit a pheasant with your car it's illegal to take it - but if you are the second car you can take it to eat? I'd love to live on an estate.

Bizarre as fuck to go on national TV to air your family issues.
I don't know if anyone else said so yet, but thank you for blurring out the people in the episodes. It probably took a lot of effort, but they definitely do not need to be harmed by the show any more than they already were.
I wonder how many relationships have been destroyed because of the "lie detector" test. In no way does it detect lies, nor does it make it easier to detect lies.
In fairness 99.9% of the 'relationships' were already broken beyond repair. Toxic relationships wasn't anything new. The show simply exploited it for entertainment.
@@johnmellor932 Part of me believes that the tests were failed on purpose to exploit these already broken relationships even more. At the end of the day the only people who know what the tests mean are the ones doing the test, so how do we the Audience know if they themselves are telling the truth (Ironic, I know).
You can lie about a lie detector.
@@johnmellor932 That's is probably the worse problem: Some awful, dangerous relationships might have been prolonged or "saved" by these fake tests as well. It's just as awful if you give a liar a get-out-of-jail-free card!

It really was the biggest show on TV at one point, such a crazy time tbh
It is shocking that he still has a career, but posh people don't have accountability like the rest of us do.
What gets me his you can clearly see jk is angry like how can you be that angry with strangers fffucking psycho he is
The fact that there lots of people worldwide who still feel like their victim after ruining countless peoples lives has to be one of humanity's greatest tragedies
Yup. Add Logan Paul to that list.
It comes down to privilege and a lack of a sense of moral responsibility. People who are as good as sociopaths because they're so disconnected from other people that they can't even empathize with someone in a situation they themselves would never be in.

" ...he did this for an audience who were probably not that much higher in his own estimation but could at least trick themselves into feeling Superior for an hour a day watching him do it to somebody else someone who they almost certainly had more in common with than they did Jeremy" couldn't be more true

This is a perfect analysis of the show. I’m glad he’s off the air, to any one with a shred of compassion he was clearly a horrific human being
If you have anything in common with the low IQ drags on society featured on the show that are usually fat, disabled, on benefits or do drugs, that should be a wake-up call for you to actually become a person of value instead of a worthless waste of space.
@@damienadama Did you just utterly miss the several parts where people were desperate for x y z and then Jeremy promised it to them? "oh its your fault for accepting going on" even though the show used blatant manipulation of desperate people to get people on in the first place.
Way to utterly miss the point of like half the video my guy.
I love that you don’t mince words about how truly sinister and disgusting this sort of exploitation is, it’s important to lay it bare so people realize that this kind of “trashy fun” media does real harm, both on an individual and societal level. It’s despicable to exploit vulnerable groups like this, especially when a “carrot and stick” approach is used to prey on their desperation and poor access to resources. Fantastic video as usual!
100% agree. This type of media is honestly some of the most disgusting forms of explotation in modern media that I've seen in my life. Glad this show got shut down and all, just a dang shame that it took someone dying.

As a kid I loved the Jeremy Kyle show, like back then if you had a day off school watching it was the highlight of your day. Only later as an adult did I see how fucked up it was
In Spain we had some similar shows. Not as extreme as guests were not lied to, but mostly the same. One of them, called “El diario de Patricia” (Patricia’s diary) ended after they tried to reunite a woman with her abuser and he asked her to marry live, and she refused. He killed her not long after and the show got cancelled.
Holy crap!! That's horrific.
Laura Bozzo is the closest we have here in Mexico. And Bozzo is actually a Peruvian expat who turned tail when the Peruvian tried to nab her for fraud among other things

Why does it not surprise me that not only did Jeremy Kyle come from a privileged background but was also involved in some of the shadiest businesses outside used car sales before going into entertainment...
Because that's most of these guys.
That's says a lot..
Rumor has it the character of Lewis Prothero in "V for Vendetta" was loosely based on Jeremy Kyle.
You can believe it. The man is absolute evil incarnate.
Jeremy is honestly a snake. He can dish it out but not take it. I remember at the hearing about this show, he didn’t show his face and instead sent out his producers to face the music.
Not to mention he cheated himself on his girlfriend, let's see him sit in front of Elon Musk screaming in his face "You know why you can't admit it? BECAUSE YOU'RE A CHEEEEEATERRRRR!!!!"
Jeremy was very good at bullying people, who he knew he could do that, and yet when he was met by people that he tried to bully and demean, but the moment someone physically went after him, his security always saved him x

I actually went to be in the audience when I was younger, I used to laugh at the show and think people were just so stupid and/or pathetic in these situations. It was only when I thought on it and saw the actual, real life consequences of the show and the producers that I grew disgusted with them and myself for being so into it way back when.
I saw a dude in the corridor just outside of the stage break down after a DNA test told him his daughter wasn't his, it was such a crushing sight, and I really felt for him. It made it worse that the audience had to walk past the guests on the show as we left.

Jeremy Kyle seems to be a major example of how "cancel culture" often just amounts to celebs and other powerful people whining when they face any consequences for what they say or do. Especially when they've gotten used to being "untouchable".
Most celebs*
except that it only swings one way for some weird reason
99% of cancellations are everyday people like Emmanuel Cafferty getting fired/evicted etc. for jokes, circle game, wrongthink and other BS reasons that hardly anyone hears about.
0.9% of cancellations are celebrities like Johny Depp, Jonah Hill or Gina Carano that didn't do anything wrong but were still harassed based on unproven/false allegations or wrongthink.
0.1% of cancellations are people that actually deserved the ire like in this case.
So yeah - glorify a system with an accuracy of 1 in 1000.
People speak as if it's a new thing. As if historically there hasn't been precedent for individuals being persecuted for believing in or saying a certain thing. The difference now is we all have interent access and busted social filters.

Any time anyone tried to defend themselves or make a valid point, he'd just start yelling catch phrases like put something on the end of it or get a job.

I never watched this drivel, I always thought watching grass grow or as a special treat maybe watching water evaporate would be much better entertainment. Several people have said that it would have been. I heard about this TV "Star" (in reality a crappite) after the case which brought the show's downfall. Always liked to big it up in the "Big I Am" style on a show which was so hammed up for day time television (aka utter garbage) it was embarrassing.

In fact my Brother even saw one of his own friends go onto this show at one point, He was shocked to see that.
The difference is, you were an immature child back then and grew up. Jeremy Kyle is a grown man who did this shi†. Arguably twice, if you consider his radio show.
@@Pats1234 Still, it was the tv views that mattered, and My household gave them too the show.
Also as someone who has a disability and been around others with more severe ones. It does make me feel wrong that I once laughed along with the Audience.
Yeah, me too. It's the modern version of those circus freakshows, laughing at people with genuine issues.
I used to binge watch the show around the time it got cancelled. I'm disappointed in myself for enjoying the show considering the expropriation.
You were a kid and you learned to understand the show was wrong. No shame in that.
I watched the springer show as a kid and it was pretty much as bad, it's just hard to comprehend as a kid. The adults that watch this stuff on the other hand...
I remember a guy recounting the time he was an audience member for the Jeremy Kyle show after his friend got tickets for him, his girlfriend and himself.
This was on TikTok and it was long ago so I may get things wrong.
They took a minibus to the studio where the organisers encouraged everyone on the minibus to drink so when they arrived they’ll get “easy” reactions. They then stood outside the studio for 45 minutes to an hour since they film 2 episodes a day so they rotate the audience around from morning to afternoon. He was given the seat and even showed footage of him sitting in the audience in a wide shot. He said that the microphone for Jeremy and the guests were low while the music was loud (yes the heavy rock was blasting through the speakers and which was a harsh wake up call from the mumbling silence).
During the breaks (and before the show I should have mentioned) there will be someone like a producer or Jeremy would go around the audience to talk to them and mostly talk to them the way that they talk to the guests. Taking jabs at the appearances and what the person does in a job. Important to not that the op was a heavyset person (no insult) and he kept quiet so by the time the producer/Jeremy got to him they didn’t hold back. Saying about how he wasn’t much to talk and how “he must’ve had a good feast before he left”. At that point op was pissed off but couldn’t leave. Eventually the filming ended and they were herded onto the minibus where now everyone has either been tired out or passed out from the alcohol taking effect. He says he only watched the episode he was in and never watched the show again; more so than before.
Not only were they negligent of their guests but also the audience.
Nice 👌I miss this show, wish it was still on.
I used to be hooked on this show as a teenager...which should have been a red flag. I remembered how shocked I was, when I heard that Jeremy deleted all his episodes. But now that I think about it, I'm glad that people aren't gonna become vulnerable and get exploited on live TV.
Edit: Unfortunately, things don't always get better, even after the show was cancelled. R.I.P., Natasha Reddican.
Same here 🙋♀️ fully obsessed with the show.
Then there was an episode where he had a baby on the stage screen, waiting out the back to see if their dad was actually their dad. I have never met my dad and instantly put myself In that wee babies shoes. Exploiting a child's broken home for laughs and views is so gross.
So, you were part of the whole succes story and the tragedies that occured as well.
Something VERY telling to me is why this show came to be. A talk show named Trisha was being moved to Channel 5 which is owned by the BBC, not Virgin which ITV indeed is. Why did it switch networks? Because ITV refused to let Trisha Godard’s own production crew work on it because they didn’t have to pay thier workers as much as they would by outsourcing. Trisha was very similar to Jeremy Kyle with even the same kinds of topics and even some shared guests; lie detectors and all. Biggest difference was that Trisha also had a body language expert as well just to make things even more unreliable. Trisha ended in 2010 which was blamed on a lot of people cancelling thier TV licenses as a result of the 2008 Financial Crisis although many say a guest killed themselves after appearing so Channel 5 got cold feet.
Back on topic, Virgin liked the ratings Trisha brought in because it was controversial and they just so happened to have a radio host who did something very similar and got a lotta listeners. Fun fact; Jeremy Kyle was also going to originally have a body language expert but then Channel 5 threatened to sue because that would have been too on the nose.
@@tomasviane3844 is it reasonable to partially blame vulnerable or inexperienced people, manipulated by a carefully crafted product specifically designed to do that, for the harm that product caused? I don't think so
He didn't do it to protect them, he did it to destroy evidence in potential lawsuits.
I'm not from the UK, but i remember stumbling on clips of the show on you tube and "hard to look away" is a good description.
I just remember felling terribly sorry for so many of those people. Sure, you'd have vile, evil and stupid people, but there were also good, lost and victmized people, looking for help and falling into the show's trap.
other main talk shows use the same tactics,getting the guests hyped up before they come into the main stage ,to go and fight straight away...its well known by now ,dr phil,springer,and them others that are similar...
I remember years ago I used to watch Jeremy Kyle, and like most people back then, I used to find it slightly amusing. It wasn't something I would pay too much attention to, I would just casually watch it while I was walking past etc.
I remember almost getting into a fight at 10AM in the morning, with a guy I used to work with. He had been drinking the night before, and was still drunk, and we were watching Jeremy Kyle at work.
The person on the stage was being ripped apart with Jeremy's usual abuse, and the drunk guy sitting next to me was loving it. He was shouting at the TV, he was begging Jeremy to punch the guy etc, and I remember starting to feel more and more aggravated with how much he was enjoying it.
So I just leaned over to the drunk and told him to shut the fuck up, or else I was going to drag him into the toilet and beat the shit out of him. Predictably, he backed down (although he kept glaring at me when he thought I wasn't looking, as he didn't have the balls to do anything about it).
I remember thinking at the time, this guy is the Jeremy Kyle audience. A bunch of spineless, nasty little bastards who get off watching other people being humiliated.
This is why so many people have a deep sense of there being something wrong with the Jeremy Kyle show. Enjoying it the equivalent of cheering while you watch a slave getting the skin whipped off his back, or Christians being thrown to the lions in the grand arena. You would have to be a nasty angry sick little shit to enjoy it.
Springer was staged. The others are horrible yes
There are definitely more shows on British TV that could do with being cancelled. You only have to look into how many Love Island contestants have also died to see there's a worrying pattern
It's the same people watching that garbage, they just dress it up in different excuses.
People who think it's entertaining to watch negative dramas in other people's lives, manufactured for TV, are intellectually challenged and have nothing better going on in their lives. They need all this drama to make them feel something.
I agree
X Factor, Love Island, Naked Attraction and others like it are all shallow repulsive, exploitative shows, that appeal to the lowest common denominator in us all.
@@candyman5912 I disagree with naked attraction. That show knows it's audience
Really all 'reality' television needs to die a death. This repulsive shit has polluted modern culture for way too long.
My favourite thing about the show was that if the person he was talking trash to would challenge him, he would immediately hide behind his hired muscle and keep talking trash to them.
He literally acted like that one kid in high school who talked trash and hid behind his friends when he was challenged on national television with a live studio audience.
I used to watch this back when I was a teenager. I always felt like something was off but still watched on.
How many of these lie detector test results were falsified/botched for the sake of ratings at the cost of people's lives.
Honestly a polygraph isn't a lie detector in the first place and the first that it was treated as one is part of the problem.
I still laugh to this show. I'm 20 and I still find it funny
The worst thing to me is how many copycats this show inspired worldwide. I'm not from the UK and have never heard of this guy, but I could instantly recognize the set and the show format. I've seen it many times on my local TV, on several different channels, by a variety of names. But always the same premise, the same manipulation, the same disrespect towards people.
Dr Phil off the top of my head
We have this kind of show here but it is never with real people, the stories they tell are like "your father was an alien" or "I'm bald and hid it from you during all our time together"
Jerry-Springer
@@h0rriphic Jerry Springer started about 15 years before Jeremy Kyle. Jeremy Kyle very much took from it and somehow made it even more exploitative.
It's not an original idea it's based on American shows just upped the aggression factor
Kyle split from his 2nd life and married his children's former nanny... He doesn't sound far removed from his favourite victims!
I was on the Trisha show for part of one episode to support my mum who perhaps still hasn't got over my dad taking his own life, her finding him and the complete opposite of support from my dad's family even though they were approached by her who begged them for the help they failed to offer in any measurable amount whatsoever.
The Trisha show done similar things to me and my mum to what you've described here. I was only maybe 20 or younger. They hounded me and asked me very detailed and upsetting questions throughout what could be described as a police investigation interview. The two girls that interviewed me came across as my best friend when in reality the things they were saying to me should have been illegal. We were also split up for a very long time but my memory of that day is extremely hazy. When someone goes through trauma especially repeated trauma you get to learn to erase certain things and it can be hard to remember even if you want to. The Trisha show came across as a nice talk show. But the reality was we were abused with icing on top . The Jeremy Kyle show needs to be held accountable for his 14 years of abuse of vulnerable people.
(Edit, fixed autocorrect problems)
Never liked him, but i did see one thing that he did that i liked. And that was after a man told how his girlfriend abused him, the audience laughed, and Jeremy called them out saying "if the roles were reversed, you would be horrified" or something like that.
And he did that only so he could get the reaction on camera.
This creature is evil. Just because you thought you saw him do something reasonable does not negate the gargantuan MOUNTAIN of evil he inflicted on others.
@@ct5625 Agreed. And if Kyle really cared about any of his guests. Or, if he had any decency about him, something inside would have made him feel profoundly uncomfortable parading unfortunate people around for ratings, on his TV freak show. Instead he appeared quite at home bawling his pompous head off each week, for 14 years!
@@ct5625 How do you know that’s why? lol It’s wild how the internet has itself convinced that crappy people never have decent moments & decent people never have crappy moments. Maybe he’s just a trash person, who genuinely didn’t like the double standards of the audience? You have no idea why he said what he said, but you confidently correct others, as if you’re speaking undisputed facts.
@@ct5625 "creature"
You've got problems
The audience in that show are such fake people, all have their own issues but pretend like they're superior.
And yeah, Jeremy only said that to make himself look good and as if he cares, if he did care he woulsnt air the show in the first fucking place
*The only thing worse than a man who hurts people in the shadows, is a man who hurts people in front of a live audience, listening to the cheers from the crowd as chaos reigns.*
Lol. Maybe have a think to yourself who was worse the Crowd or the man. If Jeremy has any fault then so does is viewers and audience as they mostly messed up their lives and sat watch Jeremy Kyle all day or better yet had 3 kids to 3 different dads so take up a lot of tax money
@@damienadama Can't argue with that argument if everyone had saw what this was for what it was and stopped watching the show would have failed
I remember this coming on every single day when I was coming home from school. It was some of the worst types of media that I've ever really experienced. The fact that they had someone like Jeremy Kyle belittle and berate people who he thought were underneath him on public television with the facade of 'helping them' still angers me to this day. Thanks for the video on this. Very well done as always, Kira.
The saddest episode I can remember, and an episode which is probably only remembered by me and those guests as it passed un remarked upon, was were Jeremy Kyle met his match in manipulation and superiority. And was reeled in hook line and sinker.
A narcissistic, psychopathic abusive man had stolen the children from their mother and kept them separated. He had spread loads of rumors about her as a mother, as an abandoner. She had once got close enough to see her children over the back garden fence before he came out and beat her unconscious! She trusted Jeramey.
He didn't realise that in the UK possession is custody when it comes to kids and perants.....and he had been taken in by this man. So this poor women met with two men berating her and abusing her and left with a whole audience thinking she was the terrible abuser and abandoner this psychopath had painted her to be.
Alright, now this is too much. That poor soul lost her kids, the only possession mothers are close with. I really now want him to rot in hell with the guy.
Had a family member hounded for months and months to go on the show, offered to just pay her outright. Wisely she refused.
People who were found 'guilty' on the show had their lives destroyed. Even if you were ultimately the 'victim', you often didn't come out smelling like roses either.
Absolutely sick show, a modern day colosseum with a depraved mob cheering for blood.
Bread and circus is sometimes all you need to control the population.
Unbelievably disgusting. I'm not sure who is more reprehensible, the guy who created this or the millions who enabled, supported and loved it.
@@tvctaswegia497 the millions for giving him the platform. this filth wouldn't exist without the demand for it. Uk's a fcking joke of a country with some of the worst of humanity
Yup. At least in the Roman circuses the audience was never under the false impression that gladiators were being helped through being forced to fight one another or wild animals.
@@criptin4075 I don't think Jeremy Kyle wanted to control the population. He's just a greedy sociopath.
Thank you for blurring the faces of the guests on the show. They don't deserve any more abuse or indignity. The Jeremy Kyle Show is in the same vein as the Jerry Springer show, yes, but also (in my opinion) as Dr. Phil. People who want (and need) genuine help, acknowledge this fact, and think going on one of these shows might be their ticket to getting it. Mental health and addiction care is too expensive and inaccessible for nearly everyone not only in the US but most places. We all deserve better.
Jerry Springer though, was/is a nice man, who never disrespected anyone.
I'm told all the time that everywhere beside the US has the best healthcare in the world. So, why is your free healthcare not covering basic healthcare needs?
@@Zanzibar_Dallax Look at the UK's dentistry as an example: World Class my ass!
@@bodyloverz30 wdym?
@Icydsting that he's buying into the myth of the UK dentistry being bad compared to the US when in fact he couldn't be more wrong.
I know a couple (a few actually) who went on Jeremy Kyle so have a first-hand account of the shows shenanigans. They thought they were going there for help with alcohol addiction but things didn't quite pan out that way. The morning of filming they weren't allowed to go anywhere and obviously needed a drink, the show said no problem we'll get you a drink - one swig of supposed vodka was enough to check the label and find out it was 0% alcohol. They kicked up a fuss and went out themselves to get some vodka without any cash, not an obstacle for any addict. Anyway they do indeed split you up to dig out conflicts ripe enough for good TV, long story short the couple thought it was one of them shows where things are calm and you discuss your alcohol abuse then onto a detox! They brought the missus out first and Jeremy went straight to relationship issues so by the time he came out he was the villain, she ended up in hysterics crying but my pal stayed calm, composed and didn't bite (Jeremy tried though along with manipulating his missus, a woman clearly in a poor mental state). They did go to rehab but their alcohol problem only got a brief mention at the end as they were sent off stage "Graham and the aftercare team will work backstage" blah, blah, blah. There was more dodgy stuff but this was long ago and my memories on part-time. The icing on the cake for me though is being in prison with him some months later on morning associtation (pad doors were left open) and he's downstairs in the methadone queue 💀 when someone shouts "Bob, you're on Jeremy Kyle" lmao everyone piled into the nearest pad for a TV. He was well dressed and gave a good account of himself so came off looking alright but his missus not so good. If you're reading this Boab (not a misspelling) I hope you're healthy and happy bro. ✌️
I've heard the claims before that guest with addictions didn't get treatment beforehand to psyche them up.
@@HawaiiKnut that show was full of dirty tricks and should never have been allowed to operate as they often did. They definitely tried getting my mate and his missus onstage withdrawing to make them more vulnerable and behave erratically for the TV - I believe what I was told 100% , no question about it.
My GP surgery used to have the TV on all day, and since I was usually there in the morning they had Jeremy Kyle on. Can barely think of a worse thing to be showing to patients. They no longer have a TV on thankfully.
I was in the UK for 10 years. Was always shocked that they have a TV in the waiting room. With ads and stupid programs. tells you a lot about the level of care and consideration.
@@r3dp1ll Luckily my surgery no longer shows TV, except for one with a few videos about health.
The abortion clinic I once used had this on in the lobby. Can you even imagine?! There were women there, including me, making likely the most difficult and painful decision they might ever have to make in their lives, and this show was on. Worst of all, it was a "who's the father?" episode. I wish I had been strong enough to speak up and tell them to take this shit off their TV screens but I was already at rock bottom.
It has been said before but Kira his content has become polished to perfection,
these abstract mini docus is where he truly shines.
We had such a horrendous show for more than 10 years. My mother and my grandfather used to love it, I absolutely hated it and it led to long arguments, as I would always leave the house to walk outside, even missing dinner, and they would refused to badge and shut down that abomination.
On the positive side, it led me to hate TV and shows that much, I don't even have a TV.
And yeah, there is some irony in watching YT, but at least here I can watch educational shows, gaming media and etc. I am having some control over what I am being fed.
Seriously tho, nothing used to make me more mad than commercials. Even to this day I mute my phone when an ad pops up. Why do I have to listen to garbage when I want to see cute puppies playing😡
Same.
I haven't watched terrestrial TV for probably almost 20 years now. There's nothing that interests me. 99% of it is garbage, exploitation, feeding idiocy to idiot minds.
I live in the us, so thankfully we didn't have to deal with him that long. I grew up poor, so we used an antenna and one channel had episodes of the Jeremy Kyle show. I guess they bought some episodes or it was just finally brought over here, I don't know how tv works. Thankfully it only lasted maybe a year from what I remember. To me, it was like Jerry Springer vs Maury, but with a guy who came off as arrogant, weird, had an accent, and yelled a lot.
Steve Dimond story shocked me. I have been dealing with substance abuse issues. I was a pathological liar. I grew up with dyslexia, am a CSA survivor. This isn't to pity me. I just want to point out you don't get a pathological liar without a reason.
Hate tv and don’t own one yet I watch TH-cam videos 😂
something about this show always made me uncomfortable, especially as i got older, but i'd never really dug into Jeremy's background before. honestly can't say i'm surprised, vile human.
R.I.P poor Steve, my thoughts go out to him and his family, I'm so glad the show has been taken off air permanently, it was clear evidence that the show was praying on vulnerable people, the lie detector test shouldn't be on there.
Pretty much the modern day version of a "freak show" or public execution. We all get to gawp on and marvel at how better we are than the spectacle in front of us, and how they can bathe in the broth of our righteous indignation 🙄
Which is why I am very glad Jordan Peele gave us the movie Nope last year. It's commentary on this exact kind of stuff and how we inflict trauma upon ourselves for the spectacle of it all is more important now than it ever has been.
Are you talking about the JK show or this channel?
@Thomas Shelby I've seen it and found it entertaining at times and indulged in this. It's just human nature to like a good spectacle.
I agree with the video really but I don't think you're an arsehole
When i was a teen my mum used to watch this all the time, and even then i used to wonder why she found such glee in looking down on people who were in the same social situation as we were. The "YOU'RE SCUM" stuff was a meme quite early into the show but most people unironically loved it. I had a friend who got taken on it once when we were like 20; luckily, he never suffered that much as a result to my knowledge, but the social stigma followed for ages. People trying to find it on the TVs at work, crackin jokes and stuff. He ended up just walking off the show while his own mum shouted at him. Mad. He told me it was great because he got paid to go out drinking the night before by their team, but how true that is I can't say.
10/10 Kira. Great documentary on that vile worm of a human. Finding out what went on behind the scenes does not surprise me. People have always loved a circus, sadly they never realise it's at the detriment to their own kind.

I always hated that he is so small but acted tough and then steps aside to let men step in to protect him.
they were paid to be his security....
I lived next to someone who went on here (an 18 year old girl at the time). Anyone who didn't live in the UK at the time this was around can't possibly understand the deep effect this had on society, at least your "average" people (middle/lower working). People would quote it, adjust their relationships based on it, threaten to "go on jezza". Use things Jeremy said during arguments, etc etc. It was such a big thing. And it was utterly disgusting, so glad everyone recognizes him for what he is these days. LOVE that his recent comeback attempt mostly failed.
I mean, if the uneducated were stupid enough to believe what was on there, I don't have much sympathy for them.
I can confirm it. It even touched me as a foreigner back then!
I was staying in the UK for 2 years and watched it religiously
I’m amazed Kyle didn’t manage to get a slot on GB News. That channel loves angry right wing crackpots.
@@attackpatterndelta8949 It really doesn't. Not only is it dangerous to stereotype the channel like that, it's inaccurate.
Nah doesn't excuse the people who watched it loads back then, I was a teen and saw it for what it was, a clownshow for people to laugh at, they're just as bad as Jeremy if they didn't watch it wouldn't have lasted a year
The fact that this show ran for 14 years proves the fact that for all the performative kindness people put on, they'll gladly watch you suffer for a quick laugh, then shrug their shoulders and move on when the pain becomes to much too bear.
If you're a loser, you were born to die.
100% right. These same people, when given a chance, could vote for candidates that could lead to policies to help some of the people on shows like this and they just won't do it. People tend to be selfish and instead of bettering themselves, would rather look down upon someone less fortunate. Its always a pity that it isn't the Jeremy Kyle's of the world that chose to check out early.
Virtue Signaling. They might look kind, talk kind words, but that is all for the sake of making themselves look good.
As a kid I remember finding it funny seeing all the arguments and fights. As I grew a bit older I found it more sad, questioning why people would go on. Then it just became depressing, not just the people's lives but the show itself, the idea of broadcasting things that didn't need to be broadcasted. By the time I heard the show we cancelled I hadn't seen an episode in ages, and I wasn't really that surprised.
They aired it here in the states, but was cancelled years ago. Good thing too. Sorry to hear that you had to deal with it longer.
Here in the states we got Jerry Springer
Also Maury
He did try an American branch out, but he got ran out of State.
@@yogibeats9037 Maury is at least transparent about it all being fake lol and he seems genuinely nice. And he's retired now so one less fake bs on tv
@monica Difference is Steve Wilkos has had self-admitted murderers, peadoughs and other criminals on his show. Some have even been arrested.

@@JejuIju That show is also the worst and racist af
@Leah Dionne agreed and theres 1 thing that is common between the 2 ITV
He was a coke and gambling addict too while berating his "guests" about their own addictions, the two faced toff
I do think shows like this will be seen as a black mark on our society, taking advantage of vulnerable people for jeering entertainment, people looking for help with the only financially viable option to be get barreted on national TV, to hopefully be given advice after the clown show. With an arrogant host who has more skeletons in the closet tham any of the guests they insult.
Society has always done this, from the Roman Colosseum, to the Salem Witch Trials. It's not a black mark on our society, it's just a reminder that if you think you live in what is laughably called 'civilisation', you don't. Humans at their core, have not changed.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Jeremy Kuntle😂😂😂😂😂. I think hes scum, he needs to be 6 feet under and Mr Dymond here
I was always suspicious about how come the guests would EVERY SINGLE TIME go running into the stage to fight the other guests they were in a conflict with. Usually it doesn't work that way, you would first have them quiet and not even looking at each other and then they'd start arguing and then maybe and ONLY just maybe a scuffle. No, in this show they went right for the climax and my mind would always brush it off as "these are just chavs who can't control their temper". What you said about them getting manipulated for hours each in separate rooms makes so much sense now, I guess I just wasn't smart enough to understand how sick and evil these producers are to exploit vulnerable people to an extent like that.
As for jeremy, he needs to be in jail.
Oh that story is so sad. How heartbreaking. I am really enjoying your documentaries exploring things I have not heard about and not sticking just to topics everyone is covering due to trends. For example, your video on Da Baby. I had no idea about his backstory and I'm glad to know. Very professional work!
Kira laying out incredible and fair insight I never would get from any other source,
cannot thank you enough for how you conduct your channel and represent the content delivered
I wonder if this Kira person will make a video exposing Love Island now …
Two things i hated about this show, one: The media's use of the word "Died", refusing to call it what it really was, suicide. Two: the lie detector, it is NOT an actual lie detector, it does not work in that way and is not 100% reliable.
In the US, many similar shows like Jerry Springier tend to cast fans of the show as guests and everyone is basically in on it. The guests present exaggerated versions of themselves, its almost like pro wrestling.
Yes and Maury, it’s a plain copy. But Jeremy seems to be not respectful
Can't stand any of those shows.
Steve Wilkos, too.
@@sandrasanders706 The community likes them and I don't feel like dumping on their thing. If you look up Springers political history you'll see he's a good guy and should have run for higher office.
@@sandrasanders706 I'm not a fan either, but it's far more respectable than Jeremy Kyle. With Springer, everyone is in on the joke. The majority of it is basically a giant improv stage-play. Jeremy just wants to exploit broken people.
Happy to see how your narrative style
Is evolving, Kira. Brave choice of topics, too. Totally out of the regular feedback loop. Many thanks.
Same problem I have with Maury show (there are many problems but Im just talking about one), the audience is always ganging up on the man, booing after every sentence, and then if it turns out that the woman was lying and the man is innocent, the audience suddenly does a 180 acting like they were on the man's side the whole time. Like jesus talk about brainlessly infuriating
I remember being young that the last time I watched Maury they had a baby on stage who was unusually big.. it woke me up even at that age that the baby wasn't given clothes just so you can seethe child and it hurt my heart.. after that I did homeschooling in the other room to avoid it.
Not to mention those lie detectors are BS, so the odds are good no one lied.
aaah Maury. Thought it was a lil kid sick day fever dream but nope there is someone out there absolutely terrified of mustard.
@@dorkydragon5055 You should not mock anyone with food phobia in public ever. Forcing them to eat something that makes them retch is not helping. I have seen few shows mocking people for this.

maury is hilarious
Looking at shows like this one and many here in the States, it seems clear how both we and the UK have created a situation where acts of performative cruelty are not only tolerated, but popular and accepted, even expected behavior.
There is a similar TV show in Russia called Мужское / Женское, which is even more extreme than the Jeremy Kyle show. The show hosts do mock the guests and the footage often shows lots of violent acts and real graphic footage. The most insane part was with a woman that was tortured and kept hostage by her husband and the people made fun of her, but promised their "help"
After the stas reeflay drama that's not surprising. That type of content seems to be very popular/lucrative there. However that genre seems normal in post communist countries
Damn I wish I knew how to search that show up
@@GOTTA_RUN Screenshot the post copy "Мужское / Женское" then paste it running it through Yandex Browser. I am totally ignorant of understanding the Russian language, but an interesting rabbit hole to see Russian TV via Russian internet.
My mother and sister would watch this show a lot when I was growing up and I never understood their fascination with it. Hell even I would sometimes sit there and try to work out if the person was guilty or not. I remember one episode where the polygraph said one thing and I felt so strongly the opposite, liars can sometimes be convincing but I'd never seen a more sincere portrayal in my life and I was convinced it was the polygraph that was wrong. Our family was raised in poverty, three kids, one parent, on benefits, council housing, all of it. We were so close to being the exact type of people the show exploited and yet we watched it anyway.
Why did you watch this video? Did you enjoy hearing the narrator critique J.K and about him losing his show?
It's a form of entertainment, no matter how you dress it up or down it's still the same.
People enjoy watching scumbags getting called out, they love drama. It's entertaining.
We can all act like we are better than those who watch these programs but in truth we are no better. Here we are watching our own version of it. Sure, we can twist it and say it's different bc it's about the host but in reality it's about the drama.
They should have had a last episode special and made Jeremy the guest then confront him with everything he had done wrong in his life, I wonder what his lie detector results would have been?
Sociopaths often pass the lie detector test with flying colours.
Ya.. because it was JK who forced them into bad life choices ? Hardly . They all knew what was up when they signed on to the circus . These arent teen aged girls being kidnapped and sold in kabob shops ... they are Adults .. obviously morons, but thats how life is . Some people have regrets with whom they sleep with ... some have regrets for being Paid to go on tv and make a fool of themselves . Its a Choice, not a single one was forced to do this, they got paid, Signed a Contract im sure too.
@@fetus2280 He was involved in the fake lie detector tests though, if the result was inconclusive they would just say guilty, Jeremy himself would make a good guest, married 3 times, several affairs while he was married with younger women, and a gambling addiction.
A bit like the finale of "Seinfeld", where everyone Kyle hurt over the years comes and speaks against him.
@@jasonphillips5816 He would have done for definite, an example of this was when he was married to his second wife, they both cheated on each other (she cheated with a polo player, Jeremy had a full-on affair with the kids' nanny who was also best friends with the wife).
The big difference is that her infidelity was quite well publicised, but he managed to keep his infidelity quiet until the JK show was cancelled......................
He ended up getting married to the nanny whom he had the affair with in the first place.
Jeremy is by far the biggest hypocrite this country has ever seen.
I used to watch these as a teen. I was angry as a teen, so watching these made me feel better. Now I feel sorry for all the victims that got reeled in, hoping to get some answers to their questions

My friend went on this show. She accused her boyfriend of cheating on her. Even though I knew he was a scumbag and probably did, I made sure to explain polygraphs were complete bullshit. But regardless he failed the polygraph and admitted he cheated, which in turn made me look the fool a bit. She found another fella and went on to live a happy life at least.
I've never heard of this show, but I also don't watch much on TV in general. It used to be that Fear Factor was the worst one I could name. Now I have this to refer to. I actually teared up over hearing about the outcome of Dyamond's story and the woman who took her own life shortly after. Very effective video, as to be expected of you, Kira. Looking forward to seeing more, as usual.
I was in the audience a while back. The tickets were free and we were having a night out in Greater Manchester anyway so we went. Jeremy was very rude to his staff, swearing and throwing his earpiece at them. What I saw live was completely different to when it aired on tv. Oh and also there are cues on when to boo, cheer and clap.
I couldn't believe what I was watching when this was on in the break room at a past job. Knowing that polygraphs are rubbish, I watched the results of one getting used to tear someone's life apart. It should have been criminal.
The framing of this video is perfect. You talk about “you” as if it’s the royal “you”, referring to the audiences of this show so it doesn’t feel like you’re attacking each one of us personally, but at the same time , it is us. It’s each and every one of the people that found entertainment in the ruining of someone’s life, regardless of motivation. I personally have never seen a single episode of this show and I thought hard about the way I consume media and reality shows and even true crime. Bravo.
Kinda depressing that everyones mum growing up guaranteed was watching Jeremy Kyle while doing the ironing as you were at school. Depressing part of british culture.
Yea, not quite as depressing as the younger mums today glued to their phones watching social media non entities and vanity-obsessed tossers.
We did it here with Jerry Springer, Maury, Jenny Jones, Ricki Lake, etc., so don't feel bad.
@@MrJimmyTide True, but they weren't such pricks towards their guests. Springer was pretty light hearted rather than some moralist twat. He knew it was all just a show.
@@kevinb9830 They always rang a boxing bell on Jerry springer and the guests would fight. He was a nice dude
It is depressing but it's sort of in our nature as humans to be curious about things that are somewhat disturbing and it's what these shows prey on. I'm sure everyone has overheard an argument or domestic issue in the street or from neighbours and listened in out of curiosity, it the same sort of thing really but packaged as a TV show.
I think reality TV in general is super depressing and leads to a lot of vulnerable people being exploited for the sake of drama.
I feel like collateral damage is inevitable with shows like this. I am actually surprised there wasn't more self cancellation incidents. These people really need to understand what they are getting into before going on the air. Although there will always be people who will fail to understand the repercussions until its already too late.
That's the thing though, the production team went out of their way to make sure the checks and balances that would keep legit vulnerable people off the show never got enforced.
@@Roler42 Yeah but thats because if they had some of their best content likely would have never gotten made.They were more than willing to allow collateral damage to keep the wheels turning.
Something that bothers me and I am not sure about is regarding the death of the producer, Natasha Reddican. The way some articles write about her suicide is that the motive was moreso the fact she lost her job that she cherished. Yes, her job at Jeremy Kyle Show. It feels like the implication is that it isn't the shame or guilt that her episode resulted in a death of the guest but rather that the episode resulted in the end of the show itself. Quotes saying that she was distraught for having caused tons of job losses and she lost her own position, of which she was being praised for being really good at. Her suicide apparently took place after she failed to advance in the interview process for a new job. If that's the case, did anybody on the production team have any remorse for the lives they ruined?!
I call bullsh*t on this whole “producers ruined lives” thing. What do you know about people? All people in general? They talk. You’re seriously telling me that all these guests were ill-treated over the span of 15 years but no one said sh*t until the show was cancelled? Same for the staff “behind the scenes”. If you don’t say anything when you can help at the time I’m gonna call “bullsh*t” on your whole account!
Depends on how much they were getting payed.
It is disgusting that this man has a presenting job, he should be in jail.
This guy needed the bumfights creator coming onto his show dressed like him.
@AgapeForgotten That was a legendary segment. The cut to him dressed as Dr. Phil had me cracking up. My bed was squeaking as if I were wrestling with my uncle, except he wasn't there. I haven't seen him in a long time, was told he was going away for a while. Maybe he went to see my dad, I wonder if they ever wrestle
@@LoganBlazer38 I know, and it was very important message. "Dude, if you're going to berate me for using people in need to get rich, maybe you should start by making sure you aren't even worse"
Jezza’s Confessions was broadcast on the now defunct Birmingham radio station BRMB. This show also ran a competition called Two Strangers and a Wedding. The marriage between the strangers didn’t last, and Jezza ended up in a relationship with the woman.
Unbelievable. The man has no shame.
Great video, Kira! I remember watching youtube records of that "show" and only years later, when I got my diploma as a psychologist, have I thought about the insidious nature of the whole thing. All for "the show's sake", no matter the cost. Inhumane...
As a pyschologist, wouldn't you rather say it is "humane" as human nature truly is brutal like this? Like it or not, we have always used other's suffering as our amusement, be it fake or real. I just find it curious when people automatically use the word humane as something positive, when humanity is really not all that positive in many cases. Only recently have we grown any morals, and even now we are mostly fine with others suffering for out benefit as long as we don't have to watch it happen, but indeed many do enjoy watching it happen. Which makes one think their role as a human being, doesn't it?
@@viikable There is a large spectrum between the lowest sub-animal-like 'human being' and the most virtuous and compassionate one. Humane is a word, in my view, that describes the more virtuous side of what it means to be human. Yes, there is more than enough examples of how cruel humans can be. But the opposite is also true. The difference is entirely on who is actively looking to see the worst in humans and who is looking to find the best in us. The worse things are always on display, be it in the news or social media. The good stuff is hard to find, as genuine good 'humane' things are never done for show - they are just done quietly.
When I laugh at someone falling, it's not at THEIR pain, it's just that natural reaction to someone going "smack", but even so...when I see it right in front of me, it's not funny. As you said, watching it on TV, the implication is they're okay, they submitted the video of them falling because they were cool with it, etc.
It took me way too long to figure it out. I was watching what was clearly a very old Japanese tv show called “Takeshi’s Castle” with the original commentator replaced by an English one, back when I was in my early twenties and a few episodes in, I noticed one of the contestants take a particularly heavy impact when rushing through this big obstacle course with around 80 other contestants in a big jumble. (They started with 100 and whittled them down across the rounds of courses.)
It was one of those impacts where you just instinctively know that it hurt that person and my eyes locked onto him. But he didn’t get back up again like everyone else that got knocked off their feet. He was clearly still alive and conscious but he didn’t even try to get back up on his feet, instead half curling up a bit. And then the camera angle changed and that was the last I saw of him despite looking for him for the rest of the episode. And that’s when the question of why I was laughing hit me. And it ruined the show and those similar ones with “funny clips” of people hurting themselves.
@@mikoto7693 sounds like the fencing response, when that occurs its extremely important to not move the person around and call for medical help immediately as brain damage is likely
It's incredible to me not just that a show like this was greenlit in the first place, but that they managed to keep it running with the staff willingly partaking in such disgusting exploitation and deception.
Vanessa and Trisha were clearly the “softening-up” programmes to prepare people for this piece of garbage tv show.
it was very popular on radio,thats why it got the go ahead,anything that becomes very popular on radio or small time media ,usually gets a chance on a major channel....
That he still gets on to receive favorable media exposure is telling lots about the industry, as if the whole Pedowood scandals in recent decades wasn't bad enough.
The pedowood stuff is a different issue albeit very similar. Rather than exploitation of those that wish to be successful in very cut-throat industry that are preyed upon for sexual means Jeremy Kyle was - as Kira put it very well - class warfare that is meant divide us rather than ask the very real questions of why people end up in the state that they are rather than ask what services could've helped them before seeking advice from a rich boy who will cause more strife than turning to a system that should help them rather than demonise them.
Thank you for this! I really appreciate the class analysis!
Really great video, I love how well edited and informative your content is, and the choice of topics is always something really interesting that I've somehow never heard about before.
Looking back on the JK show, I thought that everything that happened in the episodes were normal, authentic reactions (which they were), but I didn't realise until a couple years ago that the producers would wind up the guests backstage, hence why 99% of the time they'd all come running on stage rowing at each other.
