11 O'Clock Show - Jon Holmes

Jon Holmes, one of the new presenters on the 11 O'Clock Show, joined us to chat about many varied things - including his love for a little stray dog...

Chat Ed : Hello Jon, Ready?

Jon Holmes : Greetings weird night time people who should be in bed now!

Kiiiiiiitten : bed?
Zoob : HELLO!
emily bemily : hooray!
Paul From FetusSwing : Jon....youre still up!weird night time guy

Jon Holmes : ok good!

BIB FACETIOUS : WHY DON'T YOU DO AN EPISODE OF THE 11 O'CLOCK SHOW DRUNK?

Jon Holmes : I am yet to do one sober! I'm not actually up, I'm dreaming this chat.

Chat Ed : we've plugged cables into his brain.
Cookie : What did you do before the 11 O'Clock Show?

Jon Holmes : Ooh god, pushed trollies around in Sainsbury's! No. A lot of radio and some digital TV, so no one ever saw it! Or alternatively the 10 O' Clock Show.
Jon Holmes laughs

Malarky : how do you get your quiff so nice and prickly?

Jon Holmes laughs
Jon Holmes : Mmmm. A more interesting question would be how I get my prick so nice and quiffy!

emily bemily : so how do you?

Jon Holmes : LOL, C4 employ fluffers that deal with me before every show.

Paul From FetusSwing : do you write any of your own jokes jon,or is it all scripted?

Jon Holmes : I do write some of them, they are invariably the worst ones!

inqiuisitive : do u think u have improved the show or has it got worse?

Jon Holmes laughs
Jon Holmes : I think... yeah the whole team which is new has conspired to improve the show. But then I would say that wouldn't I!

Cookie : You work three half hours a week, and sit next to Sarah Alexander. Dream job or what? asiss : So do you fancy Sarah?

Jon Holmes chuckles

winbar : hehehe now they get personal

Jon Holmes : Cookie - I only work three quarters of an hour each week, the rest a cyborg replaces me. asiss - I even know what kind of nipples she has! She'll kill me when she reads this!

Little_Miss_Naughty : Do you have a girlfriend?

Jon Holmes : Little Miss Naughty!! No but I like the sound of you!

emily bemily : hey!
justice of the peas : how are the animations so topical - surely it takes a long time to do them - or are they done live using some sort of magnet?

Jon Holmes : They are done by wizards who use an archane form of magic.

Jake : Is there a fantastic website where I can find out more about you and your comedy double act partner Andy Hurst?

Jon Holmes : LOL. Piss off Jake I know where you live! Yes there is, you know there is, it's www.jonandandy.com

Garan : Hi Jon, I have always liked the irreverent humour on the show, how hard has it been taking over from the established duo?

Jon Holmes : Blimey a sensible one! It's like when Les Dennis replaced Bob Monkhouse on Family Fortunes.
Jon Holmes laughs

Malarky : jon..have u had any sexual offer of any woman (or men) on the street since u started presenting the 11 o'clock show?

Jon Holmes : Tee hee, no erm... but I am looking forward to that. I did get quite an interesting offer from a stray dog.

emily bemily : I'll be the first, name the street

Jon Holmes laughs
Jon Holmes : Quality Street, or Sesame Street.

ellie : is bulla as sexy in real life

Jon Holmes : In real life he's thinner than Posh Spice.

Freak : Are you related to Jon Holmes the porno star?

Jon Holmes : Yes, hehehee.

Heffer : is jon up for some cyber then?

Jon Holmes chuckles
Jon Holmes : Yes, again ; )

Chat Ed crumbles under pressure :
bob : i will kill chat ed if this dosnt get through! are the style wankers gonna get a bigger slot?

Jon Holmes : I have seen both of their slots and believe me, they couldn't get any bigger!

Chat Ed : oo
Malarky : jon..do you consider yourself a style wanker?

Jon Holmes : No, just a wanker.

Nethya : Are you and Andy going to be involved with the next series of the Now Show, I loved your stuff this year?

Jon Holmes : Ooo bless you. Yes we've been asked to do the whole next series in the New Year.

Iain Lee : What do you think you'll do after the 11'Oclock show?
Chat Ed : (apart from that)

Jon Holmes : I might ask you the same question Iain!!

james : Is there anything you wouldn't make fun of?

Jon Holmes : No!

Si : If you could have any job on TV what would it be?

Jon Holmes : Ooo, now... erm... I refer you to the Les Dennis answer Si.

winbar : does anything go on underneath the desk when the cameras are close up??

Jon Holmes laughs
Jon Holmes : Mmmm right okay... yes but if I told you Sarah might stop doing it!

Iain Lee : Did Bulla use to be a wrestler? I recognise him from somewhere!

Jon Holmes : Why? Did you want to wrestle him, are you cat weasel from the 70s??

Zoob : What do u consider to be your biggest break?

Jon Holmes : Six in a game of snooker.

MANTIS : if you can change something about the 11 o'clock show, what would it be?

Jon Holmes : I'd put it on an hour later and call it the 12 o' clock show
Jon Holmes laughs

BIB FACETIOUS : DOES THE ITC GET UPSET AT SOME OF YOUR SHOWS?

Jon Holmes : All of them! So do the C4 lawyers.

winbar : Do you have anything to do with the show's production?

Jon Holmes : How do you mean?

winbar : as in content/writing/directing etc?

Jon Holmes : Aaah right ok, I do write some bits. The gig guide is all me.

petal : Does much get pulled from the show?

Jon Holmes : Yeah, right at the last minute when the lawyers stalk the studio with their evil scissors!

MANTIS : how long is your contract, one series or more?

Jon Holmes : What contract!?
Jon Holmes chuckles

Ric : So who would you like to shag from TV Jon?

Jon Holmes laughs
Jon Holmes : The girl who said she wanted to meet me on the street earlier... erm... Nanna out of the Royle Family and that stray dog I mentioned.

Peter : Who do you think was your biggest influence?

Jon Holmes : Not so much a who as a what, the answer to that would be heroine.
Jon Holmes laughs

Chat Ed : God we're out of time already - so last three questions folks!

Jon Holmes : OK cool

Iain Lee : Are you a pervert?

Jon Holmes : LOL!!! I would have thought that was obvious just by looking at me!

petal : i'm glad you've taken over, iain lee was a chris morris clone.

Jon Holmes : thank you petal - I love you (if you're a girl).

petal : *swoons*

Jon Holmes swoons too

Jamie : what type of music are you into?

Jon Holmes : Jamie... music hmmmm... the song Hazard by Richard Marx is the best song ever written and don't let anyone tell you any different.

Si : If you could be any female TV character/presenter who would you be?

Jon Holmes : Sarah Alexander obviously cos then I could look at me nudey in the mirror, she is soooo gonna kill me tomorrow!

Chat Ed : OK last question.
MANTIS : how tall r u?
emily bemily : will you marry me
Freak : are you funny to yourself?
