Dennis Pennis

Dennis Pennis is a fictional character created by British comedian Paul Kaye. Known as a brash and irreverent celebrity interviewer, Pennis became popular in the 1990s for his audacious approach to interviews, often catching celebrities off guard with his sarcastic, provocative, and often rude questions. With his thick New York accent, bright red hair, and punk-rock aesthetic, Pennis stood out as a caricature of the brash, invasive tabloid journalist. The character debuted on the BBC’s 'The Sunday Show' and became a cult figure, blending cringe-worthy humour with a fearless approach to challenging Hollywood' celebrities. Paul Kaye, in character as Dennis Pennis, presented Top of the Pops once in 1996.
