Subject: British TV Invasion ?
Written By: whistledog on 08/26/08 at 8:31 pm
Alot of American game/reality shows today feature British TV personalities as the hosts. Could this be a new British invasion of sorts?
Some current American shows with British presenters ...
American Idol - Simon Cowell
America's Got Talent - Piers Morgan and Sharon Osborne
So You Think You Can Dance? - Cat Deeley
Wanna Bet? - Ant (Anthony McPartlin) and Dec (Declan Donnelly)
The Singing Office - Mel B
Former American shows (within the 2000s) with British presenters ...
Hit Me Baby One More Time - Vernon Kay

The one thing I notice about him is that when he speaks, he doesn't really have much action. It's like he's reading directly at the cue cards LOL

They are probably still trying to figure out who the heck Ant and Dec are LOL
I knew about them long ago via those 'Hits' UK compilation albums

Of all the Brit personalities on American TV, I like Piers Morgan the best. HE's honest and to the point, and (unlike Simon Cowell) seems like a nice guy

Agreed. Vernon Kay is pretty souless.

All this from two kids who used to star in 'Byker Grove'. ;D
If a Newcastle accent translates across the Atlantic then anything can.

We have Damian Lewis (he is H O T) over here in a series called Life that is one of the best shows I have ever seen. It was shell shocked by the writers strike but is supposed to be back in Oct. If you got a few minutes and want to see some of it go here, bet you will be hooked like I am.
