His timing is really something, saying the quiet part* out loud almost immediately after getting public statements of support from figures including Elon Musk and the RNC.

*for certain values of “quiet”

From the variety article…

The 82-year-old actor revealed his new project on BBC Radio 4’s popular “Today” program on Monday morning. “I was approached and I didn’t know who they were,” said Cleese of GB News, which set up shop in Britain in 2021. “I don’t know much about modern television because I’ve pretty much given up on it — I mean, English television. Then, I met one or two of the people concerned and had a dinner with them and I liked them very much.

“What they said was, ‘People say it’s a right-wing channel, but it’s a free speech channel,’” explained Cleese, who is working on the show with political satirist and comedian Andrew Doyle.

“The nice thing about talking to the GB News audience is that they may not be used to hearing the sort of things I’ll be saying,” warned Cleese.

The BBC, he noted, hadn’t approached him about taking part in one of their shows, but even if they did, warned Cleese, he wouldn’t be interested. “I’d say ‘Not on your nelly.’ I wouldn’t get five minutes into the first show before I got canceled or censored,” he said.

Cleese is also slated to be fronting a Channel 4 series on so-called “cancel culture,” entitled “Cancel Me,” in which the actor speaks to activists and victims of “cancel culture,” including some famous faces.

Elderly British comedian and those statements, I predict a significant focus on being transphobic.

Yeah, he clearly doesn’t know the first thing about their audience

I think he’s being coy (and does know their audience). He’s long been a rightwing shitehead.

You’d think that someone so concerned with the purity of English culture would have bothered to live there over the last 30-40 years?

Well, I assume that means there will also be a show that features Stepen Fry entitled “The Big Gay Karl Marx Hour.”

I would totally watch that show.

Not so much Cleese’s rubbish.

One could argue that these are “Trump-inspired assholes” but this seemed the slightly more accurate thread:

Was it just last year he was asking questions about its funding and calling it KGB News? I think it was.

I disagree with Eric Idle though, older people surely can be comedians, they don’t have to be finished. They need to be able to grow, learn, and change though. I watched the Life of Brian a few years ago. I expected it to be casually misogynist and transphobic. I was a touch surprised at how imperialist and racist I found it.

Which probably says bad things about my young self.
