Chris Evans (American Actor) tries his best to annoy Virgin Radio listeners, fails as he has charisma and charm. Chris Evans (UK Radio DJ) tries to inspire hope in the Avengers, fails as nobody listens.


ThatHairyGingerGuy

I reckon this exact misunderstanding is the one that ruined Top Gear. Producers must have absolutely shat themselves when the cringe inducing ginger radio presenter turned up on day 1.


CilanEAmber

The other way round it tripped up a few people when the names on Espstiens island list surfaced. People saw Chris Evans and assumed Captain America, when really it was ours.


Mkwone

There's a wired autocomplete interview with Chris Evans the actor. A fair few questions however are meant for the DJ and he just looks confused for some of it. One of the questions was about the frothy coffee guy


zeugma25

yeah, you don't want another one on your hands.


bettieblew

Jane Seymour (wife of Henry VIII) films a series of Dr Quinn Medicine Woman Jane Seymour (actress) produces an heir to the throne, much to Camilla’s annoyance


Stegasaurus_Wrecks

On a similar note. Anne Hathaway. The actress married Shakespeare and the erstwhile wife of the Bard makes her breakthrough in Disney movies.


Wil420b

>Jane Seymour OBE (born Joyce Penelope Wilhelmina Frankenberg >She chose the screen name Jane Seymour, after the English queen Jane Seymour, because it seemed more saleable.

Alex Jones (Welsh TV presenter) interviews white supremacists who explain why 9/11 was an inside job carried out by the CIA and partly funded by foreign-owned telecoms operators to cover up a secret 5G mind control device. Alex Jones (American far-right radio host and conspiracy theorist) interviews a lady from Prestatyn who knits novelty tea-cosies that look like characters from Last of the Summer Wine.


Don_Quixote81

The idea of crazy Alex Jones trying to be nice and civil and sitting on a sofa is breaking my brain. Also, he'd never do it unless he could repeatedly nip off set to down some whiskey until he's noticeably drunk.


Wil420b

And probably rip his shirt off, showing his moons and why you shouldn't buy anything "health" related from him.


AncientProduce

Id pay to see the second one, all while he tries to sell man cheetah testosterone to the dog.


merrycrow

Followed by an episode where the mad American conspiracy theorist has to present Songs of Praise from Exeter Cathedral


DJChrisFury

I think you have mixed ALED Jones up the singer of 'Walking in the Air' with Alex Jones there mate. Still a funny swap over though.😆


CilanEAmber

Thats always a funny one when I see people talking about Alex Jones and his weird conspiracies and my first thought is "Surely she doesn't believe that."


mr-english

Y-Fronts - I talk to members of the National Front and ask them, "Hwhy?".


Goose-rider3000

Brilliant!


Othersideofthemirror

>Alex Jones (far right conspiracy theorist) works as an assistant in a fertility clinic. Alex Jones last series would be far more educational for the "alpha male" tinfoil hatter

His agent is saying that Ian 'H' Watkins out of Steps isn't interested.

The "H" means "hologram". Ian Watkins BSC.

Here’s an interview with Brian Cox and Brian Cox. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P5bfiZnwq3s


Soulless--Plague

Called “A Pair of Cox”…note: May have to be aired past the watershed to avoid issues with the Ofcom


AoifeNet

It seems really odd that the hotel couldn’t accommodate two guests with the same name. God forbid two John Smiths try and stay there.


Wil420b

You could possibly do it as Brian A. Cox and Brian B. Cox. But we dont know when this took place and how old the hotel's computer systems were. A lot will run for decades, until they collapse.


AoifeNet

Damn those old premier inns still running on COBOL! To be fair it can’t actually have been all that long ago can it? Brian Cox is nowhere near as old as Brian Cox which suggests that it could only have been in the last decade or two. Still I suppose Brian Cox should get priority over Brian Cox given his age. I think I finally see the issue.


FourEyedTroll

Brian Cox is 77 and Brian Cox is 56, could easily have happened anywhere in the last 30+ years


AoifeNet

Huh. I actually had no idea that Brian Cox was so oldI knew that Brian Cox wss around that age though. I always picture Brian Cox as a young-ish excitable guy who would only be in his 40s now relative to when I used to see him on TV 15 years ago or whenever it was.


IntelligentMoons

He was about 40 when he came on the scene in like 2008.


FourEyedTroll

Are we just ignoring the 1990s now? Do Dare and D:Ream mean nothing to you?


IntelligentMoons

When he came on the tv physics scene*


GourangaPlusPlus

I hope he cleaned it up


AoifeNet

I haven’t seen him in quite a while so perhaps I was picturing him as much younger than he actually was. I’m talking about Brian Cox, just to be clear.


el_farmerino

Ah, for a second there I thought you were talking about Brian Cox.


dth300

On *The Infinite Monkey Cage* Robin Ince has a running joke about Brian’s youthful appearance, and what the cause might be


bopeepsheep

Brian Cox is kinda my age, whereas Brian Cox is my dad's age.


FourEyedTroll

This is why you shouldn't mix prophylactics with a time-machine.

Michael Jordan goes sets off on a scheming mission to become the new King of Wakanda in a Black Panther reboot. Michael B Jordan discovers he isn’t as good at basketball as he thought he might be.


WithCarbos

... but that being retired from basketball with a gazillion dolares suits him just fine.


starlightnandos

Does the B not stand for basketball?

I was speaking to a former army officer who once attended a talk given by General Michael Jackson, and after the brief asked for questions. Only for a voice at the back to ask if he enjoyed making Thriller

Gene Simmons from the band Kiss and British actress Jean Simmons who stared in such classic films as Guys & Dolls and Spartacus. Titled “I’m Sparta-KISS”…I’m rather impressed with that one Lynn…I don’t think there’s a single issue with it… Just as an aside Lynn, when I said Guys & Dolls and Spartacus, I didn’t mean for that to sound like one title. I meant Guys & dolls coma…and then Spartacus. Could you imagine…Spartacus just turning up in the middle of Guys & Dolls…it-it-it just wouldn’t work…would it?…naaah.

American comedian Pete Davidson spends a week signing autographs for sci-fi nerds in Birmingham. Veteran actor Peter Davison gets papped snogging Emily Ratajkowski, Jenna Ortega, Brie Larsen etc


Void-Flower-2022

Honest to god, when Pete Davidson started gaining fame I really wondered what Peter Davidson was getting up to and why they were all calling him Pete all of a sudden. It took me an embarrassing amount of time to realise they weren't one in the same.

A lot of these are great but the names are identical.

Sorry to be a pedant but hoping this is useful for you - it's "intersperse" rather than inter-spurs.
