    Originally from Georgia in the US, Hunter has been living and performing in the UK for the last 14 years.
    Before the interview even started BBC Breakfast presenter Sian Williams was tickled by something Hunter said to her co-presenter Bill Turnbull.

    People are arguing like stroppy teenagers down below. Someone said that RDH is one of the few who 'gets' British humour AND does it as well. Course that annoyed some Americans who had a go, then in return some Brits got shirty.
    Let me unpack this for the younger ones out there....
    I've witnessed US people in the flesh (friends of mine) having a tough time to 'get' British humour. After a decade or so, they do, but initially it's a shock. It stands to reason because for three or four generations, TV entertainment in the USA has been dominated by US comedy and likewise TV entertainment in Britain over that time has been flooded with US comedy and entertainment from Sgt Bilko in the late 50s onwards. Much like everything else from the USA after the 2nd World War (clothes, music, burgers, toys, sweeteners). Conclusion: The Brits 'get' US humour because we were brought up with it as have people in the US with their OWN shows (no one else's) blanketting their schedules.That's not a criticism of anyone. That's just a cultural and historical fact.
    The massive cult interest in the US for Monty Python's Flying Circus was due to it making a breakthrough on public broadcasting where the viewership was looking for alternative, radical entertainment. What's more there was more chance of seeing a pair of tits. There was no chance of that on I Love Lucy or The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Like it or not, sex and nudity was sought after at the time not the taboo is it today. Again though, the Brits enjoyed our very own Monty Python predominantly because it was absurd, disruptive and daring (something that you wouldn't get from the US). It took a while for the US to realise what the 'jokes' were. The next big successful export from the Brits was The Benny Hill Show. A show where you could see even more tits.
    The US were starved of out-and-out vulgarity. The coarse end of British humour hit the spot.
    Even though the import and export of entertainment for both sides of the Atlantic has levelled things up, to quite an alarming extent I'd say British humour is still not 'got' by US people (or at least as much as the other way round).
    LET ALONE....'got' AND 'done as well' as RDH.
