Creepy Host of “Just Like Mom” Fergie Olver Kisses Little Girls
I know it was the 80s and all, but I can’t believe no one stopped this from happening. When a contestant on your show calls you a “dirty old man” off camera and THEY AIR IT, you know things are bad. Pretty sure the pitch meeting for this show went something like this:
Fergie Olver:
“Hey, I’ve got a perfect idea for a show, guys. I’ll host the show and we’ll have lots of little girls on it. And I’ll kind of just keep kissing them.”
Producer:
“Wait, what’s the point of the show?”
Fergie Olver:
“They answer questions.”
Producer:
“Yeah, but that other part—about kissing little girls?”
Fergie Olver:
“All the contestants will be little girls.”
Producer:
“Right…”
Fergie Olver:
“So then I kiss them and ask them questions.”
Producer:
“Wait, I still don’t understand why you’re kissing them.”
Fergie Olver:
“What do you mean?”
Producer:
“Why are you kissing these little girls?”
Fergie Olver:
“Because they’re the contestants.”
Producer:
“I know they’re the contes—seriously, you’re talking about kissing underage girls on television? Don’t you think that’s gonna be an issue?”
