Angela Bishop!!!
She's easily one of my favourites! I don't think many people would call what she does "interviewing". In fact, I think you'd be struggling to find anyone who'd call it journalism.
Did you see that episode of The Panel where they totally humiliated her? She was their original celebrity gossip presenter & every week she's come out with the most ridiculous whoppers.
One week she said, "I was just relaxing & then the phone rang & it was Mick Jagger & he said, "Ang, will you come & be my training partner at the gym?" So I went down & we sat on the exercise bikes & laughed at all the stuff on the video screens."
The next week she said, "I was at the promotion launch when Billy Joel came & sat with me & started pinching chips of my plate. I told him the food was free if he wanted to go get his own but he said "No thanks Ang, I'd rather just share yours"."
The next week (they were getting worse by the week): "Elton invited me to his party & I usually go to Elton's parties but I had something else on so was really late but when I got there, soon as I got through the door Elton came up & said "Ang, I was worried you weren't going to make it", so I said "Elton, you know I'd never miss one of your parties"."
The Panel guys were always left giving each other those "What's she on" looks & eventually gave her enough rope...
When Mat Le Blanc came out to promote the Lost in Space movie she said, "I talked to Matty on the weekend who isn't feeling very well & asked him if he could make it to the interview & he said "You know me Ang, if I can make it I will"."
Then The Panel guys then said that they'd actually procured the footage of her meeting with Mat Le Blanc & her face just dropped. What we saw was Mat Le Blanc was standing on a stage at a Westfield & was ill so cut his visit short & just as he was leaving, about thirty journalists clambered around the stage firing questions (Angela was somewhere in the third row back) & he just looked at them all & said thank you & walked away.
Then they cut back to the studio & all the people in the audience were laughing, all The Panel guys were pointing at her going "Ahhhhhhh!" & she just sat there staring down at the desk not saying anything until the segment was over.
The next week Larry Zion(?) from Triple J took over the segment & she was never seen on the show again.
It was great! I reckon they should stick that on one of their DVDs!
But Angela's one of those types who'll always keep coming back like a bad penny. People inevitably always do when they have a high profile parent. Ask Matthew Newton...
