    The *immediate* _"Go fuck yourself"_ from James to *Lorraine Kelly* will forever be one of the best moments in TV. Ever.

      Could you please explain to me what the deal was there? Who was the person whose name made James so upset and why exactly?

      @@CraftBasti Piers Morgan is a famous journalist in the UK, and he’s (generally speaking) centre-right socio-politically. He’s seemingly reasonable enough to collect a large listening audience, but pretty fucking problematic in a lot of socio-political conversations. Acaster is socio-politically left of centre, so his outrage is expected and pretty funny.
      To what extent this is a true statement, I’m not sure, but Piers is kinda like a gateway drug for centrists to think more suspiciously of liberal socio-politics, and presents as an archetype of a white middle-aged man who’s becoming despondent with cultural change, and is most comfortable living with their ‘lot’. He also just comes across as a bit of a nob.
      Ps to anyone reading - I pure don’t care to debate on the validity of Piers’ journalism, I’m just blobbing together my peripheral experience of the zeitgeist that involves him, speaking as a largely uninterested British citizen on the sensationalism of modern media styles. If you like him, you can live forever or die tomorrow, it’s really non of my business or interest. Peace ✌🏼

      Watch taskmaster! He was hilarious in that. Also the panel shows he’s a guest on. If that doesn’t do it for you, then I think your sense of humor is just different from his and the people that like him. To be fair, I love James but his stand up can be a bit too whimsical at times. I prefer shows where he just says what comes to his mind on the spot.
