Edmonds - Big deal? - Not

Check this out!! Noel Edmonds does 3 episodes of "Deal or No Deal a day. (For which he receives an adequate £3,000,000 a year).
apparently he needs to lift that heavy telephone receiver up to 12 times per show - that’s a maximum of 36 times a day and he's bitchin' on about having got repetitive stress injury!!

Hey, use your other hand M8 when you’re picking up the calls from "The Banker” - got that right - and try using your other hand when you’re "banking" in your own time.

Well, at least his salary comes out of advertising revenue, unlike Jonathan Ross's 18 million quid which comes out of the licence fee

No entertainer is worth that much.

I laughed at this bit...

It was put down to playing the same three chords - E major, A major and B7 - for 35 years.

Edmonds is a funny one...my friend was in the audience at Deal Or No Deal and he physically threw someone out for shouting "the Banker is Mr Blobby". Also when it is being filmed, the studio has to wait for the length of the comercials before beginning filming again, for continuity. During this time Noel crouches down and does controlled breathing psyching himself up for his next bit, when the break time has passed he springs to his feet and gets straight back into it. It is all very bizarre apparently.

Maybe he just does it to avoid talking to the contestants ? Good move !

Cool

I think this threads about Deal or no Deal/Noel Edmonds not Jonathan Ross

Yes, we were comparing what Edmunds gets paid against Ross. What's not topical about that ?
