Lily Allen’s new talk show hit a big setback when audience members walked out of the first taping. Approximately 1/3 of the audience, which was made up of Allen’s online “friends” left before taping was over because they felt the show was boring.
One of the fans who walked out said: “Everyone really, really wanted it to work for Lily. She is such a lovely person but all the jokes fell flat and she seemed very nervous. It just did not work.
“I do think she’s got a nice voice but she didn’t sing at all. I think everyone was expecting she would.”
At the taping, Allen interviewed Cuba Gooding Jr., comedian David Mitchell and the band Reverend and the Makers. While she was interviewing Mitchell, she forgot her questions, and began ranting about people gossiping about her on the internet.
“It was terrible. Even David Mitchell had to remind her not to criticise the very people who would be watching the show.”
Another guest said: “We were all told when to clap and laugh but a lot of people, including me, were very uncomfortable. Much of the humour was very limp.”
I wonder who thought it was a good idea to give Lily Allen her own show? Even I could’ve told you that Lily Allen’s show would bomb, and I’m not television expert by any means. All she does is talk trash about other people, and that gets old very quickly. Well at least she’s got her music to fall back on.
