STUDIO PRODUCTION: CELEBRITY JUICE (RESEARCH)


Celebrity Juice is a comedy panel show which consists of mainstream celebrities. The show was originally going to be a panel show where celebrities discuss that weeks news. However, after the popularity of the show's silly rounds and celebrities getting to be more relaxed and different to how they'd be in the medias eye. Each week it is now the two teams going head to head to win the most points.

The show is produced by a production company called 'Talkback' but is broadcasted on ITV2. The show has been running since 2008 and continues to be popular due to the wacky comical challenges, adult humour and the alter ego of Leigh Francis, Keith Lemon who really brings out the humour more with his flirting with team captain Holly Willoughby and bullying of other team captain Fearne Cotton. The show has had all sorts of different celebrities on the panel show from A list actors, to TV Actors, to professional singers and dancers, to full bands and presenters. The shows offers a variety of different guests, both from and outside the UK. Each week being different and never knowing what the challenges are going to be on the show.

Celebrity Juice works so well because of it's contributors. With them being mainstream celebrities who have a huge following and a wide audience, it's the perfect attraction and why the comedy works so well. It lets the audience see the celebrities in a different light to how they're seen in their normal spot lights in the media, whether that's as singers, actors, presenters, chiefs, etc.

Sadly, I can't see something like this working for our Studio Production. A chat show could work, it's also been done at the studios in a past Studio Production, but not with celebrities as we don't have the budget to get big names to be contributors. However, if we can get people who're really interesting it could help make a chat show interesting for Studio Production.
