4 Minor Celebrities Who You Should Learn to Love

1. Jaimie Leonarder



Jaimie Leonarder is one of the members of SBS' new generation Movie Show film reviewing team. Despite spending a majority of the first season being snubbed by Megan Spencer, not to mention having to contend with Fenella Kernebone's lack of chemistry with anyone, Jaimie's wit and freakish ability to come up with tabloid-standard puns on the fly has made him an outstanding figure in my TV room and my dreams.

When reviewing The Pacifier: "It sucks. This film is for dummies."

2. Ken Rosenberg

Ken Rosenburg is Brisbane street press giant Rave's resident CD singles reviewer. Some people may say i'm getting ahead of myself here, but I am confidently predicting that Rosenberg is on the verge of pioneering what will be the most significant revolution in journalism since Hunter S. Thompson's Gonzo revolution. Where Thompson injected himself and much subjectivity into the events he was supposed to be covering, Rosenberg has taken this a large step further. Shying away from any objectivity or even any dedication to the task at hand, Rosenberg frequently writes entire reviews which fail to mention the CD being reviewed or anything at all to do with it. Can you even call that journalism? Journalism, Shmournalism.

Quote:
From his review of Evermore's 'Dreams': "If Larry Emdur asked me what I thought Evermore was worth, I would say 'sweet fuck all'. I wish that had actually happened so that at least then I could tell people about it at parties - if I ever went to any."

3. Fenella Kernebone



Every woman should be like Fenella Kernebone. She's pleasant, dignified, respects everyone's opinion and she hangs out with Jaimie Leonarder. Women are too shit these days. They're all out of control. All they want to do is dance and have anal sex in toilets. Today's women need a role model - and I think Fenella should be it. Having said that, Fenella might not be as cool as I've assumed her to be. I don't really know her that well. Nevertheless, I love her and I intend to marry her.

4. Graham Linehan



Why Graham Linehan isn't widely acknowledged alongside Larry David as the most unique and downright halarious comedy writer alive is completely beyond me. Though best known for his work on Father Ted, his output since then (particular once he took up directing his own writing) has been some of the most fresh, inspired comedy that I've ever bare witness to. The inaugural seasons of Black Books and Big Train (both of which he directed and co-wrote) are quite simply the two funniest things to come out of Britain since Blackadder. If there's any sense left in the entertainment world, his distinctive comic idea of taking a surreal and ridiculous situation and playing it out with the straightness and subtlety of a film drama will start a revolution in comedy. Why isn't this man revered as a god? What the fuck is wrong with everyone?

p.s. my apologies to Megan Spencer for putting every member of the Movie Show crew in this list bar her. I hope she doesn't get too offended because I think she's grouse.
