ca_gere Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Frank Sinatra Jr. died yesterday but I almost feel he doesn't count. It's scraping the barrel even for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Jack Posted March 20, 2016 Report Share Posted March 20, 2016 Keith Chegwin is the world's biggest twat on twitter. Constantly makes these truly awful sub Christmas cracker jokes, and he's notorious for stealing other people's jokes too. Then he gets really butthurt when he rightly gets abuse for it.

Stroopy121 Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Chegwin is definitely a candidate for being busted for sex crimes. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted March 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) Remember when he hosted an all-nude game show for Channel 5? (Do not image search that. Unless you want to see Cheggers' shrivelled toodle). I wonder how many people turned that down before it fell on Chegwin's desk.

I bet the script didn't even call for him to be naked too and he just took it upon himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same company made it. So the people who looked at cheggers nude worked with children.

Mr Owl PhD Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 One thing Chegwin definitely has in common with someone like Savile is that they were both on TV all the time when I was a kid but no one actually seemed to like them or find them entertaining or amusing. There was no playground banter along the lines of 'Did you check out that brilliant thing Chegwin/ Savile said on TV last night?'. No kids in playgrounds said that. Ever. They both just seemed to be there and nobody knew why. Not saying Chegwin was as dodgy as Savile, but I'd really like to know how he ended up becoming as prominent as he did. Talent or even being liked by young people had nothing to do with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 Cheggers had/has a bit of a mad laugh. I think that and his 'off the cuff'/zany schtick where 'anything can happen' (as long as it doesn't involve anything resembling actual humour or entertainment) were probably what landed him a live kids TV job. Chegwin, Tarant, Schofield, Crane... he comes from a long line of that too old to be desirable, too young to be grandfatherly presenter tradition. They're like your dad's friend who has no kids, drinks non-alcoholic beer and shows up to the company BBQ wearing an apron with a witty slogan on it.
