Last year, the Monty Python legend announced that he would be hosting his own show on the news channel and that it would be a “no holds barred account of the news”.
Entitled The Dinosaur Hour, Cleese appeared on GB News to discuss his decision to join the network, telling Michelle Dewberry: “They came to me a few months ago and they made me the most extraordinary offer that’s ever been made to anyone in the history of television.”
He added: “They said ‘would you like to do ten shows; you can do whatever you like’. Can you imagine the BBC doing that? It would be subject to committee A and then after committee A had approved it, you’d go to Committee B. They said you can do anything and I’ve had no interference of any kind and it has been joyful.”
The show will be filmed at a thousand year old castle and feature Cleese having intimate conversations with a number of guests.
He’s has so much therapy since he did anything great. It’s a great irony that his fans from his golden period could never consider it an option, or afford it. He’s probably a better functioning human person now, although he does seem again ironically to come out with typical old man shit rather than anything insightful or useful. More to the point, he’s just allowed on gb news because old white twats have money and revenue generating adverts to those same twats are highly prized
