Who's The Daddy: Looking back on successfully winging it bringing up kids

Pennis was a character dreamt up by Kaye who would turn up at red carpet events, armed with a BBC microphone, ambush unsuspecting Hollywood royalty and ask them insulting questions in the hope of provoking a reaction. The BBC mic he waggled at them gave him a thin veneer of credibility and A-listers gormlessly toddled over like flies to a spider’s web.

Two of the best ones were Demi Moore, “Are there any circumstances, if it wasn’t gratuitous and it was tastefully done, would you consider keeping your clothes on in a movie?” And Steve Martin, “How come you’re not funny any more?” Ouch!

Martin’s came in like a wrecking ball this week when daughter #2 asked if I could send her around 10 Who’s The Daddy? columns from when it first started back in 2006 for a project she’s doing at university.

So I dug them out, had a quick read of a handful and pinged them over. I don’t want to blow my own doo-dah or anything but I’ll say this - this column used to be funny.
