MODERATORS
Given the cluster of sacked misogynists at GB News, perhaps they should also have Committee A and Committee B reviewing their shows and presenters.
I think the interview process was "are you a misogynist with an anti-woke agenda?".
It’s sad to see what he’s become.
I bet Graham Chapman would be ashamed.
Or because he's (become?) a curmudgeonly reactionary?
I'm a Monty P fan from way back. But I think this is a bad idea. Culture and times change and some people just don't keep up with them or care to.
Honestly Fawlty Towers was always quite aware/clever about this stuff and it was generally Basil Fawlty who was the butt of the joke. Cleese’s heel turn of the last 20 years makes you wonder whether he never really got it, or has just morphed into the character.
Lol, didn’t he part write it, not just act it? Do you think he didn’t get his own work? Or you think it was hugely successful despite us all misunderstanding it?
He’s just old. The world has changed and he hasn’t. He lashes out with bigotry, without the nuance he would have had when questioning taboos before.
If a network hires you to say whatever you want, and that network is known for having certain opinions, there is a high chance that "whatever you want" is in alignment with them.
If he really wanted to explain why he joined GB News, he'd probably just show a screenshot of his bank account.
This should be a sign of whats in store for GB news. Cleese is a sign of times past, they're appealing to an aging and dwindling base.
You can do whatever you want...as long as it passes Committee A...and then Committee B....but after that you can do whatever you want! I think hw should do a serious interview then have titties somewhere behind the interviewee.

Come back LIVE TV, all is forgiven.
