Just as I predicted earlier in a posting at the Plonker Club, the Home of the Unofficial Gortdon Ramsay Fansite), Gordon Ramsay well and truly met his match when appearing on Rove Live in Australia on Sunday night. Gordon’s ’shock and awe’ tactics of swearing and then sledging the host (which have served him so well in Australia to date and made for some great entertainment) didn’t work with well known local comedian and television show host Rove McManus as he constantly ‘one-upped’ the celebrity chef at almost every opportunity.
From the outset, as is typical, Gordon Ramsay instantly went after Rove’s short stature, but since this isn’t a sore point for Rove - the comments and swearing didn’t rattle him, and Rove just went along with it, as well as joining in. The host swearing back at the star of Hell’s Kitchen actually slowed Chef Ramsay down a little - and he never recovered!
The first such instance was very soon after the interview started, with Gordon talking about his big feet, and Rove’s golden comeback was ‘do you have a big d!ck?’. After that it was great comic viewing with them both trading verbal blows. Rove Mcmanus even went for the jugular a few times when bringing up the controversy around comments made about Tracey Grimshaw, who had interviewed him days earlier.
The host had also done his homework, knowing that Gordon Ramsay hates being called a celebrty chef! Just to note, their wasn’t any bleeping when the showed aired!
It is a great interview, lots of fun watching the two pros battle it out. Here is the video, it runs for about eight minutes. If you then follow the link to the host’s homepage - www. rovedaily.com.au you can also view some of the out-takes and behind the scenes stuff.
Enjoy
