Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. Our book is coming out.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We're having it.
Speaker 3 (00:05):
We're putting together a book to celebrate our twenty years together.
And it's been so much fun looking at old photographs
and old things. And there's a chapter about the TV
stuff we've done together. And I don't know if we've
actually spoken about this. About the show Surprise Surprise Gotcha.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
It was the era of joke shows. Remember Candid Camera
all those years ago with Alan.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Front Yeah, but that was when we were kids.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Yeah, and then they traded to a version.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
Well, Surprise Surprise Gotcha was hosted by Matt Tilley radio
host and Jackie didn't.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
They bring it back again with Jay Leaguia.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
They did too, Surprise Gotcha.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
So a few people have had to go at this
and this is where, with the help of a colleague,
I hear you, someone like me gets pranked.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Yeah, so they you saw Scott cam pranking Jamie Jury.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
For example, what was the prank?
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I think you're off the block. I know that actually
happened in real life.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Hey, you've been sacked in the media. You cannot play
that game. It's quite likely. Is this a joke or not? No, Actually, this.
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Is real and they approached me about surprise Surprise Gotcha
and they said, and at the time, I was doing
spade work to host this show called Celebrity Singing Bee
and they gave it to Joey fat One, who's he
Joey his name is anyway, So I was doing spade
work for that and.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
They said, oh, you know, we'll get We'll do this
thing with Amanda. We'll do a surprise surprise gotcha. Yeah, okay,
no worries. So the whole premise of it was that
I would lure you to a pub.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
Easy and in the middle of the day Easier.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
A listener would come up, Oh my god, it's Jonesy
and Amanda in the wild. And then he would go
to pay for his drink, but he's left his wallet
in his car, and then you, because you're so chitriable
and nice, Oh, don't worry, I'll cover the tab.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
For you, mane. And then he has to leave.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Well in payment, he says, there and he says, oh,
take my keynot ticket, because he had to go.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
He had to go. So we're sitting in the pub.
Speaker 4 (01:57):
He You've got the keynot ticket, and I have to
leave the room. Jonesy gets out of the way as
Amanda's Keinot game comes up.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
Amanda doesn't usually win stuff, but she circles the number
she's got and strangely enough, every number matches.
Speaker 2 (02:15):
So this is why lost that the numbers come up.
You in and that's how this works?
Speaker 3 (02:21):
Or what is this ticket run?
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Look, I don't want to trust you, and that's what you.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
Bought the ticket and we got to get you see him.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Check out your prize money, Amanda, nearly a million bucks.
Speaker 4 (02:50):
So you've nearly won a million dollars to just club
box change these days a million who cares?
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Check out my bag?
Speaker 4 (02:58):
So so then and then, so what happens is on
very because you don't trust me.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
You don't trust me.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
I don't know how to play keino. So people are saying,
you've won this money.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You won this money.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
And then the guy that gave us the keynote tickets
and if you win, shout the bar.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
The empty bar suddenly fills with free loaders. The Champagne
Pops is the new Arrivals order the most expensive items
on the menu. Amanda's so far gone she doesn't even
tweak to surf Lifesavers fundraising miles from a beat fifteen grand?
Speaker 3 (03:47):
Is that with the motor without the money?
Speaker 5 (03:49):
What's the Lifesavers leave with an IOU for fifteen grand
signed in pencil of course.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
For inflatable boat.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
What people just carrying around trays of lobster. It was
so surreal I thought I was having a fever dream.
Speaker 5 (04:04):
And then then now for the unexpected twist that means
that Amanda is sharing her winnings with nine hundred and
seventy two others, And suddenly the room's gone quiet. The tables,
Amanda's winnings are half the cost of the bar bill alone.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
The bar tabs outweighed what we've won considerable. I've just
had some chips. Really, the bar tab was twenty seven
hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah, and it was all weird to me.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
And what we've never spoken about before is the length
actually that you had to get to get me in there.
You had to tell the production, look, Amanda's going to
want to sit on a chair that's got back to it.
She won't sit on a stool, She's going to.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Blah blah blah. You had to help them set the
scenecause you know me so well.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
It was such a pain in the neck. To organize
something for it.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Who was the pub in the middle of the day
and sits comfortably up at the bar.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
What and you don't like sitting at the bar? So
they're doing all these things.
Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, they're trying to because they had to put microphones everywhere.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Yeah. Yeah, And that was the thing. And it was
the last minute.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
When we got to the pub, you started just slagging
off someone that we worked with.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Long time ago, long time ago, and you suddenly thought
this is going.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
To grab you by the shoulders.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
And he said to me. I was about to walk
into the pub. You said to me, there's something I've
got to tell you. So I went in there knowing.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
You didn't know what I didn't.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
I just knew that I was going to be pranked,
and I just had to This is the hardest acting
I've ever done. You and I have never spoken about
this publicly that I knew because you thought you had
to tell me, and I'm so grateful you did.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
But the minute the guy gave me a.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Keynot ticket, I went, oh no, I felt like a
tsunami was coming at me. Thought I'm going to have
to pretend that I think I've won, and then I'll
have to something's going to happen, and then I'll find
out I haven't won. I saw the whole long journey
ahead of me, but thank goodness you did, because that
we sat there for half an hour mic before anything happened.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yep.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Well, I heard that they did one with Marcia Hines
and Denny Hines and they couldn't run it because Marcia
said so many things.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Yeah, they couldn't run it.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
You can't have imagined going with your best friends somewhere
knowing they're being recorded and people at the back listening
to everything you're saying.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
I probably would have said, I've got to do a
big fart. Who knows what I would have said.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
They would have known that, Oh they knew.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
And so when every time I go into any place
now that sells Keino, I get a twitch in my eye.
But I've never forgotten the exhaustion of thinking I sometimes
somehow have to play along here and.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
It was exhausting. You can still see it on YouTube.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
It's YouTube. It's forever, forever in the.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
History, and we have never broken the code by saying
publicly that I knew.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
And I'm so grateful you to told me.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Great value for that inflatable rubber ducky though I was
fifteen thousand dollars with a motor.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Yeah, Amanda hasn't tweaked. Oh really
Jersey and Amanda jam Nation. Our book is coming out.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
