Rosie and The Operator headed uptown to their Live Studio taping session of The Jeremy Kyle Show.  We were a little sceptical, after all they were free tickets given out in the middle of the night in Times Square.

We arrived outside the studio and there was a 30 person que happening outside the door…..credible.  Rosie asked the dude at the back of the que if we were in the right place and waved her tickets around, he said….ooohhhh you have tickets go up to the front of the que…..really?  Everyone else was turning around and nodding in agreement, Rosie and The Operator walked to the front with tickets outstretched going on about not wanting to jump the que….the lady in the front of the que even said if you have tickets go on through…..well….OK.

The disinterested woman at the desk inside asked if we have VIP tickets…uuummm, No, free ones from Times Square….she rolled her eyes, shook her head and said just go through….guess we were nothing but dirty que jumpers after all.  We sat in a white walled small room with about 40 others after going through a security check, the music was overloud and no one we asked seemed to know what happened next.  After about half an hour we were ushered through to the studio….this was really happening!
Rosie and The Operator were seated and instructed not to take photographs and turn off all mobile phones…in the process of ‘turning off’ my phone I snuck a couple of shots off….not the best quality but good undercover work Rosie.

We then met Zac…he was a young good looking Ashton Kucher wannabe and he warmed the audience up while we were waiting for the main act…he told corny jokes, mocked the crowd, you know just general stand up comedy type stuff.  Did you know that there is a four year waiting list in the UK to go see Jeremy Kyle….they were giving these puppies away here…..so, we went through instructions from the floor manager of when to stand up and cheer and clap, watch his signals to sit down, don’t watch the camera if it swivels in front of you as they get audience reactions to what is going on….it was getting exciting!

In bounds Jeremy and he is short.  Why does everyone look taller than what they are in real life.  He has a chat with us all and wants to know if anyone is from England, there were quite a few and he takes the piss out of where they come from and then he disappears, they count down the start, in comes Jeremy, we stand and clap and cheer on que (the Operator is really getting into it) Jeremy takes his spot for a direct to camera, we all stop clapping and sit and away he goes…I would like to welcome my first guest…..

We taped three different stories one after the other….what a bunch, all airing their hillbilly inbred problems on TV.  It was a crack up, men and ladies screaming at one another, security separating them and above all the stupid crazy life story situations they are in.   It was  alot more interesting than Rosie and The Operator thought it would be.

So, if you are watching the episode where Aaron the black dude has had a baby with a woman and won’t pay child support, he claims it is a scam as she has three other children and she has taken all the fathers to court to pay up.  He then gets charged by three big Arican American Female Buffalos all wanting to have a go at Aaron for being a looser and all out hell breaks loose……thats our episode.  Rosie is wearing a bright red top 😉

On the way home Rosie was abit to hyped up and mucked the settings up on her camera…..Rosie thinks they are very artistic…..check out my Impressionistic City Lights Series.
