On a recent episode of The Jonathan Ross Show, comedian Joe Lycett shared some hilarious and eyebrow-raising stories. Known for his quick wit and sharp humor, Lycett did not disappoint during his appearance on the popular chat show.
Host Jonathan Ross kicked off the interview by reminiscing about Lycett’s early days in comedy, mentioning his memorable appearances on shows like “8 Out of 10 Countdown.” Ross jokingly praised Lycett’s hilarious and risqué antics, even referring to a provocative Toblerone incident. Lycett cheekily replied that the circumstances leading up to the incident were just as mundane as they come.
But the conversation quickly took a more serious turn as Lycett revealed that he had recently fractured his elbow in an unfortunate accident. He explained that the injury occurred during a photo shoot for his upcoming DVD. Astonishingly, the mishap took place while executing a simple leg kick on concrete. Lycett humorously remarked on the irony of defying gravity and landing himself in an elbow fracture.
Images from the ill-fated photo shoot were shared, capturing the moments just before and after the accident. Lycett’s attempt to keep composure amidst the pain is evident in his sweat-drenched face. Despite the mishap, his signature sense of humor remained intact.
Of course, accidents can happen to anyone, and Lycett was not alone in sharing work-related misfortunes. Fellow guest Phil, known for calling bingo in Port Rush, Northern Ireland, recounted a comical incident involving a rogue bingo ball to the eye. The anecdote drew laughter from the audience and showcased the unpredictable nature of the profession.
Later in the show, Lycett discussed his recently released book, “Joe Lycett‘s Parsnips, Buttered.” Described as a self-help book that won’t actually help anyone, it perfectly captures Lycett’s mischievous and trolling nature. The comedian gleefully admitted to attempting to sell fake stories to The Sun newspaper, with one aimed at claiming that TV presenter Matt Baker had kicked a pigeon. Lycett managed to grab the newspaper’s attention, but his fabrication fell short when they asked for photographic evidence he couldn’t provide.
In a more introspective moment, Lycett opened up about his sexuality, describing himself as pansexual. While previously identifying as bisexual, he realized that bisexuality still implies a connection to gender. Lycett feels that his attraction is not solely based on gender, but on various aspects of individuals, such as a thigh catching his attention. This candid and light-hearted discussion about sexual orientation brought humor and insight to a sensitive topic.
To wrap up the interview, Ross congratulated Lycett on achieving the tenth position in Attitude magazine’s Hot 100 list. Lycett explained that he had playfully campaigned for votes, even jokingly rigging the election. A photo flashed onscreen, showcasing Lycett provocatively posing on a hammer—a picture he proudly declared to be his Tinder profile picture. The audience burst into laughter, recognizing the comedian’s quirky and cheeky sense of humor.
Overall, Joe Lycett‘s appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show was filled with laughter, wit, and unexpected moments. The comedian entertained the audience with his storytelling skills and infectious humor, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting his next laugh-out-loud performance.
