Where Are All The Bald Celebrities?

[@MazzJ77]

I've become mildly addicted to this podcast. I don't think I'd have found it if it wasn't on KZbin and was recommended to me. Also it's the podcast I am most up to date on, again because of KZbin. Moral of the story then; having podcasts on KZbin is a good idea.

As a bald gent. I wouldn't go back. If I walked in my Local, looking like Roy Orbison, I'd lose what little respect I have. I'd have to go to a new pub, get new friends, uproot my whole life. All for a new barnet. And on the flipside. Super quick showers. I could probably play an extra in Vikings (I also have a red beard). Great stuff.. Loving the bald lifestyle.

I was on TV once - in the audience at an auction. They only showed the back of my head and amazingly they didn't object to the way the lights were shining off my bald spot. Clarkson and May had hair that varied a lot and in Clarkson's case a bald spot. It made them feel more real. Not certain about Hammond.

Surprisingly spot on. Brocklesby is a village and civil parish in the West Lindsey district of Lincolnshire, England. Brocklesby had a railway station until 1990s and since it was closed.

[@cheekychappy1234]

I saw a fascinating interview with the head hairdresser on SNL and she said that all the cast members have "own hair" wigs which are wigs exactly like their own hair so even if they are being themselves in a sketch they don't have to go through hair again.

[@stevencgr]

which was perfect for when Andy Samberg did an old SNL sketch that didn't make it on Seth Meyers years later but the sketch was from when he had that long mop on his head, made no difference to the sketch, but just a wee extra joke.

[@eyeyayayay]

I did improv classes in college and so it was always obvious to me that Whose Line Is It Anyway was always totally made up on the spot. Improv classes mostly just teach you about remembering the elements of a good story: you need to have distinct characters, you need to establish a location, you the characters need to interact until they find some sort of obstacle to overcome, then they have to work to resolve it. Once you start instinctively incorporating those things into your stories, improvised storytelling becomes quite natural and not nearly as hard as it looks on tv.

[@SimonHeartfield]

I'm surprised Marina hasn't plugged her new TV series which starts on Monday night - Richard has had lots of plugs for his books and upcoming film.

[@grammapolice]

Marina not understanding what happens to a dishcloth when it’s been actually used really reveals just how posh and privileged she is.

[@SarahMcCartney4160]

They won't have a washing machine on set either though because that would be too noisy too. They probably get washed and reused after the series.

[@billswifejo]

It does sound like a lot of dishcloths! I would have hoped that someone took them off site at the end of the day and put them through the washing machine.

[@thisnthat42]

They probably use some sort of linen service who collect the dirty dishcloths and drop off clean ones and that’s why they go through so many.

[@paulf6973]

I wish more celebs would embrace baldness, normalising it. We're all losing it, to different degrees. I'm 45 and still getting away with it, but I know it's thinning (will shave it when I have to) Having said that, Ricky Tomlinson was on TV last night, and his hair is still magnificent (I would walk to Turkey for that)

An old BBC colleague insisted that a certain BBC presenter (codename 'Old Tel') used to have four er, hair augmentation systems - each of a different length. Being a radio person, my only thought was about his cans. How the hell didn't they slip off when yer man was doing his wireless stuff ? R.I.P Old Tel.

[@QPRTokyo]

[@Togidubnus]

1,000 dishcloths. That's disgraceful. Don't they wring them out or wash them occasionally? There can't be that much washing up, no more than most restaurants or cafes generate in a day, is how I see it. I hope they're not ending up in the bin.

[@stevencgr]

I'm an improviser, most people can do improv with a bit of practice, you might read this and think 'oh I can't do it' yeah you can! we all make up stories, or tell jokes with our friends, improv is just putting some sort of framing device around it, bit more to it to get really good at it like the whose line cast, but you can all do it. my default answer when someone asks if it was really made up, is ' yeah, it's like playing jazz, we know how to play the notes, but we don't know what the chords are yet'

[@97channel]

It's heart warming to know that Whose Line was legit. I would be so gutted if it turned out that they cheated and used scripted material, because those guys and gals have been heroes to young aspiring performers learning the craft and training in improv skills along. the way. One thing I would say though, is that the producers definitely provided opportunities for specific performers to use material which would be naturally n their repertoire. For example, in things like the 'Let's Make A Date' game, where three of the performers would be given a character or personality to portray, time and time again Steve Frost would get something like a German U-boat commander which would facilitate him using his "Das boot" joke which surely cropped up in at least half of all his appearances on the show. And Rory Bremner would be given the suggestion to portray someone like John Major, which is awfully convenient for a professional impressionist. Out would come the pre-prepared glasses from his pocket. Also, Ryan Styles would be exclusively given the sound effects game to showcase his vocal skills. I'm not saying that I believe it was scripted, but there was absolutely some 'steering' to cater for each performer.

[@COLINHILLSWIMS]

I’m taking tablets called "finisteride" they cancel out the chemical which causes hair loss in men. It’s roughly 300.00e a for a years supply. Take one tablet a day, everyday and after a few months the should come back…providing you haven’t been bald for many, many years. Hope this helps.

[@frostyfingers9282]

I was very intrigued by the suggestion that most actors normally wear hairpieces during filming as it's easier for continuity and styling etc. But I can't find much backup for this claim. Is this true? Did Marina make this up? Where is this from?
