Jonathan Woss has the Worst Talk Show

Con-gwat-ulations, Woss.

You've got the worst talk show in Europe. If not for your fellow (well, not a fellow, more of an effeminate male imposter) host James Corden, you'd have the worst talk show in the world.

What "saved" Woss in the past was he did a long monologue, had some comedy pieces, and basically followed the formula of David Letterman. If he booked lively guests, he wasn't too bad. He could also ad-lib and insult "good sport" celebs of the Shatner variety. That he had irritating faggots offering singing introductions ("4 Poofs and a Piano") could ALMOST be overlooked.

Now? Now that there ARE no celebrities who can hold an interesting or amusing conversation, Woss is imitating Jimmy Fallon. He literally PLAYS GAMES with the morons he invites.

With Britney Spears, he ended up stealing from Fallon and doing a "Pong" game: use a racket, hit a ball into giant cups. Oh, what FUN.

And what was he doing in the second picture?

Yes, the HACK stunt of swallowing helium from a balloon and talking in a funny voice, and asking the celebrity to do likewise. This was old ten years ago. Besides, Woss has a funny voice without the helium.

What could be more pathetic and dull than playing stupid games with brainless Britney?

Holding conversations with Millennial-fave guests: pretty boy jerks with stubble, and semi-attractive bitches, neither of them able to talk about anything but how great their new movie is, and oh, how lovely their kids are, how great their vacation was, or how tough it was to get from the airport to the hotel to the studio.

Here, following Britney, was a typical stubble-face and a flinty-looking twat:

Christ, don't you feel BORED just looking at the pictures? Imagine having to sit and listen to a foppish, lisping toady-host trying to act enthusiastic in the literal face of self-absorbed mannequins like that.

In a way, Woss ALMOST has my sympathy, for copying from Fallon in having to deal with shitty guests promoting their shitty movies and music and TV shows. Almost. But he's coasting by not doing longer monologues or desk pieces. As Fallon's proved, desk pieces need not be expensive, or even require writers. For example, Fallon regularly samples bad vinyl from the past (submitted FREE by readers) and reads funny "Tweets" (also free). It's possible that Woss is just so numb from trying to pay attention to Emily Blunt, or so blunted from trying to listen to Emily Numb, that he's basically nothing but a walking zombie.
