Celebrity talk show “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross” had an unexpected and explosive guest in the form of Jeremy Clarkson. Known for his controversial opinions and antics on the popular show “Top Gear,” Clarkson never fails to entertain.
During his appearance, Clarkson discussed the infamous volcanic eruption and how some people were trying to blame “Top Gear” for it. In his typical humorous manner, Clarkson admitted that they were indeed responsible for the eruption, jokingly saying, “We honest genuinely did do it.”
Clarkson went on to recount the experience of driving over the lava, with James May driving and the tires catching fire. This stunt led to a halt in air travel, making James May responsible for the chaos caused by the volcanic ash. The trio, Clarkson, May, and Richard Hammond, found themselves caught up in the resulting travel chaos but managed to make it back safely.
The conversation then shifted to the volcanic ash cloud and the subsequent ban on air travel. Clarkson humorously mentioned how airlines initially called for a complete ban on flying but later changed their stance when it started affecting their profits. He also dispelled the notion that the ash cloud could bring down planes, stating that as long as pilots avoided flying directly into it, they would be fine.
Jonathan Ross also brought up the fact that Clarkson recently turned 50, to which he jokingly responded, “Four months to go, I’ve got more than that.” Clarkson shared his humorous take on aging, describing the various bodily functions that start failing as one approaches 50. He even hilariously described waking up on his 50th birthday with a terrible skin disease, emphasizing the woes of aging.
Despite his playful banter, Clarkson couldn’t deny the harsh reality of reaching this milestone and the uncertainty that lies ahead. “All you have to look forward to is bits stopping working until something catastrophic goes wrong, and then it’s dead,” he lamented.
In typical Clarkson fashion, he concluded the conversation with his witty and satirical remarks. The conversation veered towards mortality, with Clarkson suggesting having a funeral now to avoid the inconvenience later. Ross advised Clarkson to adopt an optimistic outlook and turn any negativity upside down, to which Clarkson responded with his trademark dry wit.
Although Jeremy Clarkson may court controversy, there’s no denying his ability to bring laughter to any talk show. His appearance on “Friday Night with Jonathan Ross” certainly didn’t disappoint, leaving the audience in stitches and longing for more of his entertainment.
