Manori Ravindran International Editor “Monty Python” star John Cleese is set to host a regular show on right-wing news channel GB News next year.

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.
