Maurice James Christopher Cole (25 December 1944 – 4 April 1995), known professionally as Kenny Everett, was a British comedian, radio DJ and television entertainer. Everett is best known for his career as a radio DJ and for The Kenny Everett Video Show.
Personal life
Early life and education
Everett was born in Seaforth, Liverpool, Lancashire into a Catholic family as Maurice James Christopher Cole. Everett attended the local secondary modern school, St Bede's Secondary Modern School in Crosby, now part of Sacred Heart Catholic College. He attended a junior seminary at Stillington, North Yorkshire near York with an Italian missionary order, the Verona Fathers, where he was a choirboy. After he left school, he worked in a bakery and in the Advertising Department of The Journal of Commerce and Shipping Telegraph.
While working at a pirate radio station Radio London he was advised to change his name to avoid legal problems. He adopted the name "Everett" from American film comic actor Edward Everett Horton, a childhood hero.
The Kenny Everett Video Show (later renamed The Kenny Everett Video Cassette) was a groundbreaking British television comedyprogramme made by Thames Television for ITV from 3 July 1978 to 21 May 1981.
Conception
Phillip Jones, the then head of light entertainment, asked his son who he'd like to see on television, and he said Kenny Everett. The format for the show came from David Mallet having lunch with Kenny, going for a walk in the afternoon, and during those 3 or 4 hours they both discovered that you could not watch on television the sort of things they wanted to watch. The original conception was that Everett would be a visual DJ linking bands and singers and the links eventually got longer and longer.
The Video Show was also noteworthy in that the sketches were performed to the studio crew and technicians with their laughter heard on the finished programme, unlike the later BBC series The Kenny Everett Television Show which used a live audience.
Two pilot episodes were made, which are believed to no longer exist.
Vídeo Show is a long-running BrazilianTV program on Globo TV. From its debut in 1983 to 1994, the show aired weekly. Since then, it has been airing from Monday to Friday at 2:00 pm, following the lunchtime news, Jornal Hoje and being one of the most-watched afternoon shows. The show is now broadcast live.
This format is that of a daily "electronic magazine", where the network's backstages are shown, with on-set and behind-the-scenes footage on Globo's series and telenovelas, including bloopers, interviews with the actors, actresses, directors and authors, funny segments with scenes from the telenovelas, and old videos from the network's archives through Memoria Globo. Vídeo Show relaunched as a game show form on November 18, 2013 with the debut Zeca Camargo (former host of Fantástico) and with the current direction of Ricardo Waddington. However, in conjunction of Globo's 50th anniversary, Vídeo Show reverted to its original format and the studio audience have been removed. This relaunch marks the return of Miguel Falabella (the longest-serving presenter; 1987-2002), as one of the hosts and Cissa Guimarães, the show's reporter. Otaviano Costa became a permanent host and Monica Iozzi became Costa's co-host, replacing Zeca Camargo.
A few of the best bits I captured from Kenny's TV shows. I compiled this collection of Kenny sketches back in the early 80s for a video party I was having.
I created a 3 hour vhs tape of my favourite and popular songs at the time from TOTP, OGWT and various other music performances to play at the party instead of vinyl. To make it more interesting I edited in a Kenny segment from his tv shows I had recorded in between several of the songs. For example the Cliff bits were spread over the 3 hours. My selection was based on his Sid character. Of course his other characters are hilarious too but I just wanted Sid for the party. The party was a great success. When clearing out old vhs tapes during lockdown I found the tape and decided to bring all the Kenny bits I used together in one piece a...

Kenny Everett as "Cupid Stunt" on "Parkinson" '82 (pt.1/7) HQ
This is part ONE of what was a magical night for me (for PART TWO, hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2ja-HRyGWY). It was the 6th of March, 1982 and unannounced, TWO of my FIVE ALL-TIME HEROES appeared on Parky - Buddy Rich and Kenny Everett (they'd never have met any OTHER way!)
Also there, were Roy Castle and a surprise guest. This was a SHOW. Almost a full hour. No sidekick. No desk. And all of the guests STAYED after their initial interviews. Buddy did THREE numbers and then... well, you'll have to watch it to see!
You need to see ALL SEVEN pieces, IN ORDER. Now, put your computer onto FULLSCREEN and enjoy!

Sinéad O’Connor interrupts an interview with British comedian Kenny Everett to ask him about his support for the Conservative Party.
She is curious to find out whether he finds Clause 28 introduced by the Conservatives in 1987 offensive. When passed into law, Clause 28 became Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988. It bans British local authorities and schools from ‘promoting homosexuality’. In her opinion it is,
A disgraceful abuse of people who, you know, are of your sexual persuasion.

Kenny Everett admits he is an à la carte Conservative. He approves of how party leader Margaret Thatcher dealt with the UK President of the National Union of Mineworkers (NUM) Arthur Scargill.
There are other things about them that I don’t like.
Kenny Everett describes Clause 28 as a curtailment of freedom. He disagrees that people in the public eye have a duty to stand up for their beliefs. Rather than taking to the streets and making demands, his way of standing up for gay rights is by being an amusing and entertaining person who just happens to be gay. This way people,
See that you are not a thing with horns and you’re not inhumane and you can be amusing, or you can sing good, and they think hey, these people are humans after all.
Kenny Everett appeared at the Conservative Party Conference in the guise of his mock-evangelical character Brother Lee Love with his trademark giant hands, purely because the Tories asked him first. This does not mean he believes in everything they stand for.
This episode of ‘The Late Late Show’ was broadcast on 3 February 1989. The presenter is Gay Byrne.
