Back to afternoons, but Jennifer Aniston is still everywhere
After two weeks on Breakfast, Scott and Chris returned to their normal one-to-four slot. The schedule had changed; the after-effects of the Jennifer Aniston interview had not.
Australian breakfast presenters Kyle and Jackie O had discussed the video, with Jackie explaining Chris’s nervous interviewing style and Kyle using it as an opportunity for a broad complaint about the BBC. Scott and Chris were delighted simply to have made an Australian breakfast show. They also noted that the clip had appeared on Good Morning America, extending a pattern first established by the Mila Kunis interview.
McLovin finally gets his Innuendo Bingo
Christopher Mintz-Plasse’s Innuendo Bingo had failed to play properly during the Breakfast week, so Scott brought it back as a bonus Monday edition. The Superbad and Kick-Ass 2 star chatted first about returning to his role, the sequel’s increased violence and his other life playing drums in a band.
Then he and Chris decided to play shirtless. Clips from Barack Obama, MasterChef, Dale Winton, Test Match Special, The Cube, golf coverage and Richard Madeley produced a steady barrage of water. Mintz-Plasse sometimes held on impressively while Chris broke first; by the end both were soaked and Scott was calling it the first topless Innuendo Bingo.
It also set up the next day’s almost surreal booking: Jonathan Agnew, whose Test Match Special commentary had supplied Bingo material for years, would finally sit opposite Chris and play the game himself.
The Saturdays bring Disco Love and an inverted twerk
All five members of The Saturdays managed to arrive together to introduce new single “Disco Love”. Scott had become so used to hearing them with Sean Paul on “What About Us” that he kept talking as though Sean might have joined the group permanently.
The real business, however, was Vanessa White’s inverted twerk. A rehearsal video showed her upside down against a wall, essentially combining a supported handstand with twerking. Scott immediately decided Chris needed a lesson.
With the cameras running, The Saturdays tried to position him against the wall and talk him through it. The problem was fundamental: Chris could not really do a handstand. His attempt became less an inverted twerk than a new and difficult-to-name movement, prompting a debate about whether his more natural talent was simply bogling.
Festival flashbacks and Real or No Real
Scott was still traumatised by being hit with a warm, wet bottle while watching Rudimental at a festival. Playing their record now brought the entire unpleasant moment back, and he warned Chris not to throw anything in the studio to recreate it.
Dan and Phil then returned for Real or No Real. The familiar game restored the programme’s normal afternoon rhythm after two weeks of Breakfast experiments, although Scott’s total of 40 points comfortably beat both guests.
