It's not me, it's YOU!
Prompt

The viewer ratings
Just kept on abating
Reviews verged on hating
Folk found the pair grating

Chemistry lacking
Execs' patience cracking
With their witless yakking
The duo faced sacking

Paul Clutch was prissy
And prone to be hissy
The crew called him "Missy"
(They thought him a sissy)

Emily Smoulder
By twelve years the older
Was by far the bolder
and quite the old scolder

Action was needed
"New partners!" they pleaded
Their viewpoint was heeded
The issue was ceded

Pearl Jones was engaged
As prone to be enraged
And frequently outraged
Sensation was presaged

Famous for satire
The team sought to rehire
Jeff Burning, that livewire
(In hope of no backfire)

Each weekday morning
Sees Smoulder & Burning
Attack without warning
Civility spurning

For weekend airing
The Pearl & Clutch pairing
Are "worried" and "caring"
Tut-tutting, despairing

Ratings are soaring
Now no longer boring
The audience roaring
And no-one is snoring
