The co-creator Dom Joly reflects on the lasting impact of Trigger Happy TV, which aired its first episode 25 years ago. Notably beginning with a memorable sketch involving a man yelling into an oversized phone, the show set off a cultural phenomenon that still resonates today. Joly, while moving on to diverse projects, continues to connect with audiences over memories of the show. With its 25th anniversary, he plans to tour and showcase old clips, acknowledging how the show was a unique, fast-paced alternative to the more familiar formats of its time.
"I remember watching those shows, and thinking: I fucking hate this.' Trigger Happy TV felt like a violent shake-up, much faster and surreal than what people were used to."
"Every time I do anything, someone will go: Did you take the big mobile with you?' So I find it hard to shake off my breakout hit."
