But his manager didn't tell him that part so obviously he talked about it on camera. Then his manager gaslit him into thinking it was all his fault that he spilled the beans even though james literally didn't know he was supposed to keep it a secret.

    The hosts are irritating with their awkward laughter.

    I love how these hosts are clearly just trying to get through the preplanned talking points, but Mr Acaster™️ is just too funny 😂 Every single joke lands, love this guy so much

    Couldn't watch it till the end. I love James Acaster but the pathetic fawning hosts were shocking.
