Talk Show Host is a song written and performed by Radiohead.
A remix of the song by Nellee Hooper is found on the soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann's 1996 film adaptation of Romeo and Juliet. In the movie it serves as Romeo's theme song, and an instrumental version (not involving the band) is also heard.
The song's original version is a b-side on the "Street Spirit (Fade Out)" single released in late 1995/early 1996. It is the band's best known b-side, and the only song not found on an album that is performed somewhat regularly by Radiohead at live concerts.
"Talk Show Host" also marks one of the band's earliest collaborations with Nigel Godrich, who would go on to coproduce their acclaimed albums OK Computer, Kid A, Amnesiac and Hail to the Thief. Interestingly, the remix found on the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack is engineered by Mark "Spike" Stent, who worked briefly with the band on their forthcoming seventh album in 2007.
