Are chat shows a good way to get paid for publicity for celebrities or are they just late night rubbish that no one really cares about?

The Jonathan Ross Show

Usually about an hours worth of Ross chatting and answering the questions himself with only five minutes of time left between all the guests. With that in mind though it can be absolutely addictive and highly entertaining to see a famous movie star messing about on live television.

Jeremy Kyle

This show is the equivalent of Americas Jerry Springer. Jeremy Kyle is not somebody who is afraid to say what is on his mind about people and he is certainly one for getting people off their behinds and into work if they are doing nothing. This is a very entertaining show simply because it is funny to see how badly people have screwed up their lives in a way that would seem almost impossible to achieve for any normal person. When you are sleeping around with so many partners and not using any protection, surely you cant honestly expect not to have a dozen or so children?

The Charlotte Church Show

This show is more about music than it is about chatting; at least that is what Charlotte wants to happen with the new series that is planned. She has admitted to being rubbish at the talking part and wanted to have a bit of a music themed chat show. Sounds a bit like a rip off of Jools Holland to me. Has the Welsh woman gone absolutely insane? Wales itself is a lovely place to visit and can be great for one of those family days out or even UK family holidays.

Loathe them or like them, television chat shows are here to stay. Some will cause us to laugh, some will cause great controversy and others are quite honestly just utter rubbish. The funny thing is that we still all love to sit down and watch the programmes when they are on, so we cannot really complain, can we?
