How Jeremy Kyle Got Cancelled For Being A Terrible Person

[@neuro_davinci]

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.

[@dio_Brando1888]

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.

[@albinofroggy]

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.

[@TheAsianOfChaos]

Exactly. Fucking disgusting

[@caphowdy666]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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".

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.

[@lorddrayvon1426]

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.

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 saw a clip of this show once. no idea what any of this show was about but this one clip was of a man telling the host about his ex, and how his ex used to abuse him. he told a story of how she locked him in their apartment once and he had to escape out the window, just jump out. and the audience was laughing at him. the host then ripped the audience a new one, pointing out that if the roles were reversed and this was a woman they'd be sharing sympathy with her and rightfully calling out her ex. and then it cut to another woman, who i assume was the mentioned ex in a backstage area, also laughing. i remember being very angry and very sad for this young man, having his struggles and trauma mocked because he was a guy

[@abdullahshaibu2193]

i remember watching the episode you are talking about and saw in the comment section of this video that a person said that the audience was giving cues as in signals when to cheer, boo and laugh the person that said this watched the jermey kyle show in person so could be case of this or they laughed on their own discretion which i doubt because jermey would of shouted at them if they did the guy that said about audince being told when to clap,cheer and boo was seated in the audience section at manchester n the jk studio and he said everything that goes on live on the show is different to what goes on when the cameras are turned off because he said jk was very rude to people that worked on the show and would shout and swear at them and throw ears peice at them

We had such a horrendous show for more than 10 years.

On the positive side, it led me to hate TV and shows that much, I don't even have a TV.

I've been to rehab. If it were anything like that show, it wouldn't work. You are at your most vulnerable when you make the decision to go into a place like that, and the staff are patient, caring and look after you every waking moment. You don't change a person through cruelty and humiliation. I'm almost 3 years sober, and all it took was 2 weeks in that place, and experiencing how kind they were and how sober life can be so absolutely beautiful. That show would have been more at home in the 1800s.

I’m ashamed to say I used to watch this show a lot when I was younger, and looking back I agree there was something about the way the show presented these people as “weird” and “other” that did make me feel better about myself in a Schadenfreude kind of way. I never thought back then about how these people had lives both before and after the cameras stopped being on them, and how traumatising being in such a high-pressure environment must have been for them. For me, at the time, it was just a stupid distraction on days I was off sick from school. Now that I actually have some life experience, I’m horrified to look back at how exploitative and emotionally parasitic this show setup was, and the innocent people that took their own lives or were otherwise irreversibly scarred by their appearance on this show have nothing but my sympathy and deepest condolences.

[@meatbagspaai6370]

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.

[@Mixman86Page]

In the US, we lump Jeremy Kyle in with Jerry, Maury and Steve Wilkos category of "Trash TV." If I remember correctly, Jeremy Kyle had a US version of his show, and it got cancelled pretty quick because the genre was oversaturated and it was boring to the US audience in comparison to Jerry and Maury. It's also interesting that if you watch clips from the US version of his show, Jeremy is actually far less abrasive towards the guests than he was in the UK version (or maybe that's just my imagination - my recollection of the US version was from almost 15 years ago). Idk he seemed tame on the US version in comparison to his native UK version, where he rips people a new a**hole. Either way, the guy is awful, but I also think if Jeremy Kyle wasn't hosting it, it would still exist. People are addicted to viewing whatever will help make them feel better about themselves.

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.

There is a similar TV show in Russia called Мужское / Женское, which is even more extreme than the Jeremy Kyle show.

I lived next to someone who went on here (an 18 year old girl at the time).

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.
