More of this sort of attitude on daytime TV, please. In fact, just more of this sort of attitude on TV full stop.
It’s The Jeremy Vine Show over on Channel 5 where guest presenter, former Daily Star editor Dawn Neesom, was introducing guest, lawyer and author Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu.
Well, we say introducing, but she didn’t get very far with her first effort. And what happened next was rather fabulous.
Auntie Shola said we’re not moving on until you pronounce my name right. pic.twitter.com/6r0bvmNbh4

That’s better.
Because as a professional this is the sort of thing you establish *before* the show if you have any respect for your guests. I am glad Ms Shola stood her ground https://t.co/1cqZNqkVdJ

No excuses for being too lazy to learn someone’s name, whether it’s at the bedside or on live TV. Watch and learn 👏👏👏👏 https://t.co/ZZNUqYwVpf

I absolutely *love* this – no, you dont get to choose to call @SholaMos1 by her first name because you cant be bothered taking 30s out your day to learn to pronounce her name before introducing her
"Read it, darling" 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 https://t.co/vcFv75M662

Good for Dr Shola
But did that woman end by saying “There you go! Great accent!” ?!

She did reply that.

How long have they been talking to and about Shola Yet they can’t pronounce her name

Brilliant
well done good for her. Surely a presenter should learn how to pronounce the name of her guest before going live?

Bloody hell it’s not even a trick question – it’s phonetic. If I put ‘Mos-Shogbamimu’ in front of my five-year-old he would look all worried for a second, I would tell him to break it down, and he’d get it right.
