to all of the sam fans out there who are critising the wiggles or greg can go get screwed seriouslly as you can see all of greg and wiggle fans are coming out and telling the world just how perfetic you all really are and i bet greg and the wiggles are proberly laughing at your ccritisim so do as all a big favor and get a life.
@ Disneyblackjet.... one your 2nd point... the whole transition video when Greg handed over the Yellow skivvy to Sam was passing the torch, for good... so when I saw the video of Greg back in the Yellow skivvy, I was like *whaaaat??*
i remember this video and felt like it was for good: (last few minutes)
Most awkward interview, but they did say before Sam was only there until Greg was well & could come back. We knew their intentions all along, It really isn't surprising, of course I feel for Sam because they told him with the job he was doing they would keep him. I never liked Sam, Greg will always be yellow for me as that was my childhood. But Anthony should have been able to answer this question way better than he did. Lets just celebrate Greg's return & the real wiggles before they retire!!
Anthony comes across as being very confused and has much difficulty answering the questions. There's more to Sam's dismissal than meets the eye and it wouldn't surprise me if Jeff is next in the firing line. And where is the Red wiggle while this mess is being played out?
"One day, not long after the deal was signed with the ABC, I remember Anthony said to me in the university courtyard : "If this goes well, you could put a deposit down on a house."
(From Greg Page's book "Now and Then" where he recounts the Wiggles beginnings in the chapter "A Wiggly Genesis".)
Is all just news and gossip and who give flying pootard whats happening and y u all hating when this shit got nothing 2 do with u its the wiggles buinnes 2 decide who goes and who stays we cant chose 4 them so just let them be
Its just been in the paper about Anthony suffering from depression. $10 million (at least) sitting in his bank account and he gets depressed. What chance do the rest of us have?
Legally, they were probably well within their rights to ditch Sam.
But even so, Anthony's responses in this interview make it pretty clear he's an arsehole.
Possibly also has a touch of antisocial personality disorder, given the way he has trouble grasping why someone would ask "What about Sam?" Or the way his response to "Was it a difficult decision?" is basically, "Nope. It's what I wanted", leaving Jeff to come up with an answer that actually takes their audience into consideration.
I agree greg is the original and best but they treated sam like shit. He should have quit while he was copping shit from them and left them with no yellow wiggle to serve em right.
Pretty disgusting of Anthony Field to not appear to give a damn about the man who he worked with for nine years, hasn't even the guts to ask him how he's feeling and tries to laugh off the question. Also when he said, "the energy felt right", seems ridiculous when Sam had the most energy of the lot. Disgusting lack of respect for a fellow human being, let alone someone you work closely with for nine years.
I think they shoulda left it. It was bad when Page left, however, Moran has been there for five years and it is sorta weird to just cut him out as soon as Page says "I'm healthy again!"
Fair enough. These guys are the original wiggles, they built the name and brand and did hugely successful and when one fell ill they replaced him until greg could come came back.
The new guy was just doing his job, a contractor like any other profession. Because he's the front man doesn't entitle him to be treated as an original and receive all the perks that come with it
Has anyone noticed how weird Anthony Field is even before he speaks, just sitting there in his own world with that capped tooth grin on his face? The guy's a goober! Seriously people! Have a look at him! And then when he does say something it's like CRINGE!! Poor show guys! Time to throw in the skivvies and GROW UP!!!!!!!
You say you care about children? Yeah, right! You care only about your image and that has just gone down the tube!
@mang0mang0mang0 I agree with you, unless you want to teach children how to manipulate the media lol! I don't think Anthony Field has ever cared about children, he cares more about himself and being on camera. There's definitely something not right with him. You can see it. There was some tabloid press flying around about his supposed infidelities a couple of years ago. I'm beginning now to believe it now.
@muppetsstoogesfan1 Yes, people need to stop blaming Anthony! He's never been very comfortable talking about things like this, anyway. He was up since 4 AM, the question was deep and caught him off guard, he wasn't expecting anything like that. That is all. People stumble over their words, you guys!
Besides, Sam was meant to take over Greg's position UNTIL he got better. I just think this whole thing has just been blown extremely out of proportion, and we all should get back to our lives!!!
@semprelirico What a great comment! My wife and I both noticed the silly smirk on his face and then Richard Wilkins blows him apart. He is an imbecile and I predict his wife will now walk (and take the kids) after his dalliance with Caterina the choreographer in the show.
@IceYourPimpHand its not about the kids show, its about the greedy greedy adult men who are known all over the world, treating a very nice man like sam. like trash.
These guys are setting a bad example for the children. They can surely add an extra Wiggle. The children aren't really going to care, they just bop along unassumingly. The Wiggles are quite profitable enough to add an extra Wiggle. By sacking a long-standing member, it just shows that these are old losers obsessed with a brand image that their target audience couldn't care less about.
Come on, this is like someone joining the cast of a show and expecting to split the profits with the producers. The original wiggles weren't just performers, they established the brand, style and wrote the songs. Of course they are fakes are sitting there in their costumes pretending they aren't also businessmen whose primary interest in money - they are getting OLD they ought to be with their families enjoying life rather than continuing to perform in front of kids. Pass the torch already.
Wilkins, a joke as always, puts words in the mouth of Anthony, who's merely trying to be discreet and not get into the ridiculous media hysteria. Then the headlines say "Anthony says..." when in reality it should be "Richard Wilkins manipulates interview in his usual pathetic, tabloid-mentality way."
I am not the least bit surprised. Paul Field must be seething! Hey Anthony, two minutes preparation would have made you look slightly professional instead of a goose. Sorry Sam but you have been ripped off. The first mistake was to not come in as a partner so you missed out on all merchandising royalties the second mistake was that you fell for all the "smiles for the camera" crap that goes on in the entertainment industry. You are now out of a job with a fraction of what the other guys make.
@regaltip8A It was never an option for Sam to come in as a partner. He was as they say an employee, if i founded the company i would do exactly the same. Why would anybody let someone just walk in and take a massive share in something they didn't even create. There are hundreds of talented people that could fill that role. He did get screwed in the end, it has not been handled well. Although he was always treated as an offsider from the get go..
Go team Sam. How the hell were those questions inappropriate??? That's his job! To find out the truth. The wiggles own their franchise so they are the people to ask the tough question to.
I think what they did to Sam was disgusting. What's worse is they do not know how Sam felt or ever CARED. Instead of a friendship he was a mere "employee".. Nice. especially when they constantly talk about they wiggles being a "family". They are just trying to make money like every other star and if stabbing
@MegsFree someone in the back makes them a few more bucks then they clearly are prepared to do it.
Also the wiggles have been in the public eye for over a decade, they should know how the media works but now.. They are fools to think these questions WOULDN'T be asked!! Maybe what they really need is a new PR!!
@MegsFree i agree. this is so awkward to watch. i feel bad for anthony being put in this awkward position, but you would think that the whole band would at least had a meeting with him or something. one day he is in the band, and the next day they just pretend that he never existed.
Richard Wilkins was completely out of place asking those questions... What a pig. If Richard Wilkins and the Today show wanted to get in to details about 'contracts, business deals, money or pay outs' or whatever... Maybe they should've asked a producer of the Wiggles or something..
Richard Wilkens was Subtle. Just Imagine someone Alan Jones asking the questions.
I reckon Tracey Grimshaw would have ripped into Anthony Field reducing him to cry in the corner...... the same way she ripped into Mathew Johns over The Cronulla Sharks Sex Scandal
Awkward indeedy, with a capital A! Good to have Greg back, but Sam was great too!! I would really love to know the whole story!! Obviously not from Anthony :)
