Paddy McGuiness

[FactualFrank]

Is there anybody as talentless as this guy who has stole a living?

Katie Hopkins is of course another, but it really is a head-shaker.

[jdrobbo]

Boris Johnson’s a talented liar, but does that count?

[fidelcastro]

Gemma Collins

[texasbrit]

Frederick Flintoff is a close second to McGuiness if not dare I say even more talentless as a non sports person

[FactualFrank]

Boris Johnson’s a talented liar, but does that count?

No as he's got a talent.

I seem to remember Paddy McGuiness doing a gig at the Mechanics in Burnley and people were shaking their head at how bad he was. Even worse than Derek Acorah.

Anyone on Steves Fave show "The Masked Singer"

[elwaclaret]

Gone a long way for being someone’s mate. See a dozen of him in every town, ‘popular’ but usually arriving alone.

[IanMcL]

What does he do?

[BennyD]

Boris Johnson’s a talented liar, but does that count?

Corbyn isn’t a talented liar.

[FactualFrank]

What does he do?

Nothing of any purpose. He's being paid £500,000 per series of Top Gear, yet knows the backend of naff all about cars and isn't funny in the least.

It just goes to show, to make a lot of money you don't have to have any intelligence whatsoever.

[IanMcL]

Oh dear!

[TVC15]

Well I’m guessing he must be pretty clever to tag on to Peter Kay....and not too daft to carve out a very lucrative career for himself after that.
Maybe not as daft or talentless as people think eh !

Let’s not mention him in the same breath as Katy Hopkins either - those comparisons need to be saved for Griffin, Robinson, Hitler etc !

[Lord Beamish]

Im no fan of Paddy McGuinness, but all I can hear here is the sound of bitterness and envy.

Peter Kay walks with a limp whenever I see him and complains about his back.

[icu81b4]

Well Top Gear has been going downhill for years, Paddy is affable enough though and can at least read an autocue, Flintoff on the other hand is painful to watch as a presenter.

I like Chris Harris though, they should pair him with Tiff Needell instead of Flintoff.

McGuiness - dreadful imo but some young thickos like him on that dating programme. I would just turn over immediately if that came on or anything else with him in it.

Hopkins - is she anyone’s cup of tea ? Dreadful individual.

You don’t need talent to become famous. Fame at all costs for some individuals. Look at the talentless individual’s on the likes of ‘celebrity’ Get me out of here, big brother, love island etc You’d think to get into media work or broadcasting you’d need to be able to speak properly or have some wit or something about you but look at Bob Mills, Peter Crouch, Neehal ... the list is endless

[FactualFrank]

Well Top Gear has been going downhill for years

Clarkson, Hamster and May pulled it off. And they got away with it not always being about cars, but having a good laugh - and it was. It was a great TV programme. The worst thing the BBC ever did was sack Clarkson.

I do like Christ Harris though. He's the only one with a bit of class on there now.

[Dark Cloud]

I was bought a ticket to see him live at The Arena about 3 years back. He was utter rubbish and simply not funny in the least. The only time I laughed the entire time was when they re ran a sketch plus the outtakes from Phoenix Nights on the big screen during the interval. And that simply highlights the fact that he has sponged a living on the back of Peter Kay all along.

[Aclaret]

No as he's got a talent.

I seem to remember Paddy McGuiness doing a gig at the Mechanics in Burnley and people were shaking their head at how bad he was. Even worse than Derek Acorah.

Perhaps its his Bolton accent that people are laughing at, it's certainly not his humour or his jokes as he's not funny, maybe he's not supposed to be funny I don't know.

Careful Aclaret, you're coming across as bitter

In fairness, it’s only you that’s coming across as bitter, Muchacho.

Abso-bloody-lutely.

Peter Kay carried him. And - get this... I saw in the paper that his wife might be on one of those dancing shows. Strictly or Dancing on Ice... that's a double back carrier!

I acknowledge I'm a grumpy ageing tw*t, but if there's one thing I get proper narky about it's these "celebrities" who are only "celebrities" because they happen to be related to one. Exactly just how stupid are the British public??? And don't get me started about "celebrities" going all over the world on road trips using BBC licence payer's money and actually taking their relatives along for the ride! Utter bollo**s!!

I thought no-one could be worse than Richard Bacon on the 5 Live afternoon slot, but then Nihal Arthanayake came along ....

People are making money through other people being as thick as a duck plucker's wick.

It will only get worse.

[Dark Cloud]

Why does he have to talk so slowly and ponderously. It's as if he's comforting grieving relatives booking a funeral.

[TVC15]

Max and Paddy was really funny - and as far as I can remember McGuiness played one of the lead roles !

Of course Peter Kay gave him his break just like he did with lots of other people - but out of all those actors / comedians etc appearing on Phoenix Nights other than of course Peter Kay nobody has gone on to have had more success and make more money than McGuiness.

I don’t like Top Gear or the dating thing - but millions seem to and he keeps on getting his contracts renewed - and none of that is down to Peter Kay.

[tim_noone]

You have a really weird and obsessive dislike to Paddy McGuinness, don't you? It's like you need to get it off your chest every 2 or 3 months...

Gemma Collins

That’s the end of the thread, right there.

Barry came close with McIntyre, but how tv makes room for the useless, talentless, pointless, brainless southern oik that is Gemma Collins will remain a constant mystery to me.

[THEWELLERNUT70]

Because of the success of the 3 new presenters and the hit they appear to have been according to viewing figures Top Gear is to take its place on BBC1 for the 1st time ever

[Woodleyclaret]

I've no problem with Paddy and his vacuous show
Hes no worse than talentless profession Geordies Ant and Dec ,now their is a couple of no marks who have "entertained" the nation for years.There is a whole host of presenters who got started by lucky accidents most with little natural talent.Vernon Kay being another that springs to mind.

[Alanstevensonsgloves]

McGuiness - dreadful imo but some young thickos like him on that dating programme.

I'm 48, university educated (when you had to get 3 B's to get in), good job, decent income.... And I love watching Take Me Out. Not every programme we like has to be Panorama or Breaking Bad...

Don’t see the problem with Paddy McGuiness at all. His brand of humour is popular and remember it takes a clever man to play the fool.

[NottsClaret]

Strange the fascination on here with a fairly mundane, jobbing TV presenter. Find it hard to imagine how he'd stir much of a response either way.

Anyway, good luck to the lad, made a decent life for himself with what he's got, surely that's all we aim for.

[AlargeClaret]

For a basic talent Paddy Mc has had a very well paid prime time career. All the Peter series /max n paddy etc , that god awful date show thing must have run for 10 yrs now , he’s on tv commercials, the Keith lemon stuff ,and gets a lucrative top gear gig etc etc . It’s about being able to present to camera , being mildly amusing ,playing the fool ( never as easy as it looks) and being laddish ,he ticks all boxes rather well tbf

[Hopey1786]

Tbf the guy has a lot on at home
Respect for that

Agree. I don't know what people want from these 'talentless' presenters. Maybe they should be presenting their shows whilst juggling and riding a unicycle?

[claretblue]

Tbf the guy has a lot on at home

he also had a 'lot on' with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton!

[SammyBoy]

He's good at what he does which is present fairly low brow TV shows, I simply just don't watch them but I have no problem with him earning a living through it.

[TVC15]

The OP as already mentioned has an irrational hatred for Paddy McGuiness.
He thinks he’s intellectually above him and other people on this board - yet regularly decides to start a thread debating that learned scholar and philosopher P. McGuiness - he was going to choose Dostoyevsky but stuck with PM.
Muchacho is serving another of his regular bans now for libellous comments he made another thread which were complete and utter lies.
When he’s served his ban we can look forward to a new topic on Duncan Norvelle.

This - if anyone has ever stolen a living it is this lump

McGuiness ticks the 'thick, northern, white working class male' stereotype needed for the media

I might need my tin hat here but I genuinely think Gavin and Stacy is brilliant. Some of the subtle comedy is genius and the characters, like Bryn and Pamela, are hilarious at times.

Clearly there are people (like yourself) that do, otherwise they wouldn't have got famous, however I don't actually know anyone, friends, family etc. that say a good word about him!
