Simon's fellow contestant Phil now volunteers for us at The Children's Trust! A thoroughly lovely man and a huge help to us in our work to help children with acquired brain injury and complex disabilities. Go Phil!
He was so soft-spoken! He was literally whispering. Also, when he smiled, his face crinkled up like a cheeky chap. Reminds me of Niall Horan. No wonder Simon has a soft spot for One Direction!
Wow! Charming and adorable! Who'd a thought when I was all of 7 years old that this gentleman would grow end up being the entertainment mogul that would have a say in my fate! I love Simon Cowell! Just don't tell him that!
This is 1990, so Simon was 31 at this time. Doesn't look much different, today. They said he is a record company director, which means he was in the music business even back then. So people who say that he knows nothing about singing should know he's been working in the music business for more than 25 years.
Well he doesn't know anything about music. By his own admission he can't sing or can't play a musical instrument. He's never had any vocal training or studied music. He doesn't judge talent. All he does is assess who he thinks he can make money out of. Mostly in the music business it's about the image rather than the sound. He is very good at spotting trends and assessing what's likely to be popular. That is all.
So when they introduce him they say that he's a record company director. Even back then he was already big in the music business. Simon was about 30 at this time. Hey there's nothing wrong with go-cart racing a lot of people love it. He loves racecars, I've seen clips of him riding/driving them. Simon, you live life on the edge!
simon is not dumb he happens to be one of the most influential and powerful television producers and record producers ever and he started at the bottom of the ladder to do it
What an humble person he was here :) People might think he's an asshead, but they all play a character,Louis is the old one, Cheryl is the soft crybaby one and Simon the mean one. But Simon knows more than the others who might be a star.
Oh man, yeah this probably haunts him haha. At least he won. He seemed a lot more shy back in the day (I mean obviously he wasn't going to insult people, but he just doesn't have the same presence)... Man, I just love that he was a normal guy who ended up working his way up. Respect.
He is utterly at ease with himself. A man that good looking has had to deal with all sorts of stuff - and not only does he deal - he's got a sense of humor. Watch him, at the very beginning, he takes a rude-ish (but veddy British) comment by the host and turns it into a joke on himself. This man is in command! Bravo!
Wow that host hated him at a point there. AND SIMON LAUGHS AT THE PRIZES OH GOD!! and the host is like 'they all cost money' AHHAAH that's priceless. Simon was awesome back in the day too.
wow was this tape like lost in someones cupboard and they only just found it and realised it was simon cowell on it - thats pretty awesome. he's quite brainy too :)
Peter Marshall also used to do the voiceover at the start of the original 70s show. He said "Meet now the man who pays the money for these bargains". It was the other guy who said "And now from Norwich it's the quiz of the week."
Who would have thought that Simon Cowell would become a big name in media industry with his work as a judge on TV talent shows like Pop Idol, X Factor and Britain's Got Talent as well as his artist management/production work?

it's funny how Simon is the same person he is now. It shows he's genuine
Simon's fellow contestant Phil now volunteers for us at The Children's Trust! A thoroughly lovely man and a huge help to us in our work to help children with acquired brain injury and complex disabilities. Go Phil!
Go Phil
Well, "Go Phil" indeed..hope he's still alive. I'm a little late.
He was so soft-spoken! He was literally whispering. Also, when he smiled, his face crinkled up like a cheeky chap. Reminds me of Niall Horan. No wonder Simon has a soft spot for One Direction!
I knew he was smart. I'm impressed with him even back then.
Yeah I'm really impressed with these videos of him at a younger age. There are some with him aged 20 which are very eloquent too
He's not smart he's genius, he didn't even go much to School
It's nice to know that Simon Cowell didn't always look like he got a hair cut from a ceiling fan.
😁😁😆😆
😂😂😂
old comments be the funniest
Hahaha
Simon's cunning plan: 'If I'm going to conquer this industry, I'd better first find out what it's all about'. Smart guy, very smart guy.
I can't believe I watched the whole thing and found it interesting!
so cute :D
his smile is the best
omg he was so goodlooking!
and lmao at barbara's glasses...
he's so confident.
He has always been gorgeous and a winner.
Love him!!!!!!
Too bad he loves little boys.
uh the wired google interview brought me here
Wow! Charming and adorable! Who'd a thought when I was all of 7 years old that this gentleman would grow end up being the entertainment mogul that would have a say in my fate! I love Simon Cowell! Just don't tell him that!
he looks so calm and cool.
Definately him. Same voice. Same smile. Same full-of-himselfness. lol.
Simon looks like a car salesman there.
Sam Malone from Cheers.
I got to admit, he in very handsome here :)
Okau
Lmao who else came here from the wired autocomplete interview?
Meeee

Incredible, eh? In fact, I didn't even know he's a motor racing fan, actually, like I am!
He is indeed, yes. In fact he was once named the highest-earning TV star by Forbes, in 2009. Oprah Winfrey is the richest, though.
***** But truth be told he's a pretentious, repellent and annoying person!

Simon, you live life on the edge!
No matter what country you live in, if your name is Peter Marshall, you're destined to be a game show host.
Funny. Or a minister
simon is not dumb he happens to be one of the most influential and powerful television producers and record producers ever and he started at the bottom of the ladder to do it
What a handsome young man Simon was!
He was a sharp guy on this show. Good job.
Thanks for the share Leona. We loved it !!!
Priceless! They should show this clip on American Idol. He looked good!
He was very handsome (still is, though
"I'll come back"...He sure did!
The uploader is wrong his very first TV appearance was in the 80's for the UK programme- Right to Reply in 86
I'm impressed this guy actually won, even with a good score too against good opposition it seems...
Someone watching this in 2020? Covid got me crazy
Mee
Close, Jan 2021
I always love simon!!
What an humble person he was here :)
People might think he's an asshead, but they all play a character,Louis is the old one, Cheryl is the soft crybaby one and Simon the mean one. But Simon knows more than the others who might be a star.
Wow! Simon was so handsome! And he's so intelligent too!
He looks a lot better dressed in a suit than he does in the sloppy t-shirts and jeans that he wears for television appearances now.
Rude
He dresses casually now, how can you call it sloppy? This isn’t the 1960’s
I wish they made more programs like this...
Didn’t know Simon was a go cart racer
i love it how simon got all the way to 80 and just waited like the turtle and the hair only the hair still won
Presenter: 'Cause you're single, Gentlemen...'
Simon: 'Absolutely!'
dunno what's more awesome about this, Simon Cowell, or the the whole premise of this quiz show xD love it!
Intelligent and good looking and so hot guy!! Simon!! love you! hehe
Seeing Simon there is like seeing Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader lol. XD
Simons so smart!!
And it was the beginning of the Simon Cowell we all know and love! (Love to hate, sometimes!)
The announcer says that he's a record company director. So even back then, he was in the music business. This is like 20 years ago.
This is hilarious!! I love these old clips!!
hahaha he's so not used to the cameras..i loved this clip..loved it
Me in 2020 looking for Larry Stylinson proof but then finds this
ME TOO
HELP
the lady in the middle has to have the biggest glasses any one can wear

Peter Marshall also used to do the voiceover at the start of the original 70s show. He said "Meet now the man who pays the money for these bargains". It was the other guy who said "And now from Norwich it's the quiz of the week."
He's so cute!!!!
