The Boys on Sound from BBC Switch.
(This was filmed when they were in London on Thursday last week, but aired Saturday.)
The gist of Sound is that it is an informal party, in a secret location, attended by celebrity friends and some very lucky studio audience members. The set of the show is an overcrowded apartment in which only six people get to sit, while everyone else stands. You get the impression that the Fire Marshall may bust in at any moment. Because the audience is selected, they are enthusiastic, but polite. It is hosted by Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac.
They chat, participate in quizzes and open and close the show with performances of “SOS” and “Burnin’ Up” respectively. It is a nice appearance, and sort of makes me loathe the options we have in the US. They are grilled with a quiz of obscure British Law (in which they do surprisngly well!), are pitched some Jonas Brothers Merch ideas, and Kevin participates with fellow guest Noel Clarke in the “Quiz of Shame” where the only way to win is to reveal your “uncool” knowledge.
Kevin and Noel compete against two audience members whose prize will be the contents of Kev and Noel’s pockets (and Noel’s shoes) if they win. Kevin puts in a guitar pick (or a “plectrum”, in Britspeak), a used napkin, a “London A to Z” book, a button, and other bits. Being that it is a contest of useless “uncool” knowledge, it will not shock you that Kevin’s team wins. Those ladies (who where skiving – cutting class or work – to be at the show) REALLY wanted that napkin. Oh well.
Also, they chat a little about how the Jonas Brothers hanging out with the cast of HSM could be bad for the health of teenagers around the world, and Garbo has on a nice blue sweater.
Check it out after the jump…

I totally loved this show. Why don’t we have fun stuff like this in the states? The reaction shots are priceless, cpaig. Awesome post.
I about fell out of my chair at the Jonas “loo paper” Kevin: “That looks like it would hurt.” Who else would say that? K-UTE!!!
And speaking of K-ute, Kevin was just that during the nerd quiz. He is my beloved goofball. Any day I get to see Kevin do the Jonas snap is a good day, so this made my Saturday!
I know I loved it.
I never get enough of Kevin. I love when he says “Oh, right, we have to perform and stuff…”
One of my favorite Joe-ments is that little “wait for it” look he makes just after “on my toes” when they are performing.

Too right cpaig. He’s Jodorable!
cpaig-thanks so much for this. I got to start my day with this blog and end with it as well meaning it was a great day.
the reaction shots are priceless. I was thinking the same thing they were with the “loo” roll.
My husband is a Brit and they are always saying Americans don’t get their quirky humor but it is so clear that the JBs do. And I love the performance, the way they are all squished in with the band right behind them. very cool.
and now I’m trying to figure out how to make JoBro toast for the morning.
I love how Nick says (about the toast), “You should do that with cereal!” lol How in the heck would they do that?! Silly Nick. But adorable, none the less.
They are all relaxed, having fun. I love it.
But I want them to hurry home, and be safe. Thanks for posting all the scoop, Cpaig and Mememoi, it really is awesome to know what they are doing every day. Now if we could just get THEM blogging again…
What a riot! That was great! Yep, apparently shows here suck. All these clips from abroad have been so interesting and not the same old, same old we get here. (Not that I am complaining – I would tune in just to watch them sitting on a couch saying absolutely nothing!)
Kevin was priceless – perky and fun!
Burning Up was awesome (and thanks Cpaig for the heads up about Garbo’s nice sweater!
) Looks like his hair is finally starting to grow out a bit. (yay)
Good luck with your toast Merry – I think that is what we will be having for breakfast as well!
Oooh!! They are such avid cereal eaters (as am I) they should have their own brand of cereal with itty-bitty JB logos! LOL! I think I need to go to bed…:)
Well in honor of the Boys ending their trip in Paris, I will be making JoBros French Toast. – LOL.
I can totally imagine JoBros Cereal. I think they would want it to be a healthy one – like Js and Bs, and the letters of their names…..oh wait….that’s Alphabits.
Maybe we can all buy Alphabits and pretend it is JoBros cereal.
As always how K-ute is Kevin!! I know, we can’t forget Joe
and Nick. I just ♥ this site ! No one else really gets all
the info u guys do, and if they do the people that sign on
with comments r 2 busy fighting with each other on line. I’m so
happy that never happens on this site. Thanx again for this
site!!
lovngjonasnky, WDT are too busy drooling over the Boys to fight…LOL
I absolutely love their interviews overseas (the only American talk show I think that could compare would be Ellen) but the fangirl inside me wishes they could be home…safe in the jungle of LA…
I love how Joe smiles after Big Rob comes out.
I love it when Kevin snaps in the Quiz of Shame.
