MW: How did you get the job working with the Jeremy Kyle Show?

JT: Luck and working with the executive producers in the past.

MW: How is it working with Jeremy Kyle?

MW: What do you have to say about the epidemic of bulling going on now?

JT: Bullying is underestimated by the general population and felt to be an example of “just what kids do”. The short-term effects can be extremely detrimental to kids and teens and the long-term effects worse. In my experience, bullying is a very serious public health threat.

JT: I would like to say thanks to you for this interview and thanks to your wife for watching faithfully. I would like to extend an invitation for both of you to come for a taping if you are in NYC.
