The Jeremy Kyle Show...




The Jeremy Kyle show is a chat show, within this production Jeremy Kyle’s role is to be the presenter of the chat show he is the person to ask the questions and be in contact with the guests and also the audience.

Within The Jeremy Kyle show there are different guests each time and each person with a different story to tell so Jeremy has to adapt the way he speaks to whatever the person. For example if there was a woman who had been beaten up by her husband he will have to speak in a sympathetic way, then if there was the woman’s husband who beat her he will have to then begin to speak firm and sternly towards the man. The vocab that Jeremy uses as the presenter has to appeal to a wider audience as this programme is aired on ITV1 which has a wider audience so he has to appeal to a wide audience using some complex vocab and also use slang. Jeremy doesn’t have a strong accent however I feel he has been selected as he has a clear voice that would be able to be understood by the wide audience that ITV has for example if you were to put a Geordie as the presenter some people would find it hard to understand what they are trying to say. Jermey has a south east accent and is middle class he is able to cast judgement on the people as he is better than them and as the people watching at home some people may be stay at home mums and retired so what he says is what to hear as some of the people watching the show are better than they guests.

Jeremy (the presenter) wears a suit in every episode he is in though to make the show more relaxed he doesn’t wear a tie and unbuttons the top button to make the atmosphere of the show slightly more relaxed and to also appeal to the audience more. Within the show Jeremy portrays different emotions and facial expressions depending on the story the guest has to tell him an example of this is when the man who had a tattoo of a skull on his whole face, when talking to the woman he looked sympathetic and curious however when the man entered his face changed to look surprised and shocked portraying what the audience was thinking and everyone that was watching was thinking. Jeremy has presented another programme before which is different to a chat show he presented the game show 'High Stakes' in the game show Jeremy also wears a suit. In High Stakes Jeremys language is more formal and serious as this is a game show instead of the language he uses in The Jeremy Kyle Show because there is a different mood to the show and target audience. Jeremy uses a lot of body language in the show like he uses facial expressions the body language used changes depending on the type of guest that is on, when Jeremy is trying to prove a point or directly talking to one person angrily he will point at the person and kneel down to them or also stand close to them intimidating the person showing that he has the authority. However if Jeremy is being sympathetic he tilts his head in sympathy and also places his hand on his chin showing he is interested in what they have to say and to also show he is listening. The way Jeremy looks and presents himself is appropriate to the audience as the audience is mixed ages he cannot be dressed in a casual way as this may make the show feel as though it is only for youthful people though if he was to be dressed in a waistcoat and tie he may not appeal to the younger audience or elderly as they may feel that the show is then for business people and office workers (C1 category).

We are most likely to see the presenter in the ITV studios where the show is mainly set unless there is a special episode where Jeremy will visit places or revisit a family.  The audience that this show appeals to are: survivors as this is a daytime show the unemployed and elderly shall be able to catch the show and also experiencers as the people that come on the show have to be over the age of 16 so it could appeal to the youthful audience if there age group is going to be involved in the show. In the social economic scale this show is aimed towards D and E categories.
