The Steve Show
- This article refers to The Steve Show. For the radio shows that Karl Pilkington did with Russell Brand, see 6Music Shows
The Steve Show is the unofficial name for Steve's show on BBC 6Music, which started in January 2007. He is joined by long-time friends Dan, Harry, and Rufus who are, in the best possible sense, nobodies. The show focuses on music more than banter but is not without its comedic and anecdotal elements. Steve brings some old Xfm features into his show, including Hip-Hop Hooray and Mr. Cover-Cover (formerly known as Cover Me Up). However, the show has also introduced many of its own unique features such as 'Songs to Seduce Women By','The Fiendishly Difficult Music Question', and 'Songs to Nurse a Broken Heart'.
Due to its formerly "laddish" nature, Steve and his mates conducted a search for a "She-J" in the spring of 2007, accepting tapes and mp3s from women wanting to join them regularly in the studio. Ultimately Steve and his mates selected Sammy who has been very well received by listeners and fans.
