We did, but he wants serious bloody cash, so we've ended up with you.
So Question One.
Erm, what's Jon Snow like? Have you got any good anecdotes you want to tell me? In an interview, they do do that, they say that! Erm, well, about All right.
OK.
Has Jon Snow got any good anecdotes? Probably.
What's the best one he tells? Oh, he always tells the story about how he nearly killed Idi Amin.
Wow! Who's Idi Amin? He was the sort of self-appointed ruler of Uganda.
Ohhh.
Oh, that one! Oh, yeah, yeah, I know, "Eddy Ajing" You newsreaders, right, you've all got your fingers on the pulse.
It's fair to say that.
Yeah.

Af-jan Af-jan-istan! Yeah.
Amongst others, yeah.
We sort of do, to be perfectly honest.
This Af-jan-istans one, right? Afghanistan.
As-jan-istan, right? They asked me, right, to go out and entertain the troops there.
Oh, right.
It's no big deal, you know.
Lots of people do it, like Jim Davidson.
But mostly, it's just comedians, right.
Now, Krishnan! Krishnan I've got a I've got a question for you.
You know in Channel 4 and that? Yeah.
On Channel 4, and you know how we're peas in the same pod, you and me, basically, right? How come on Channel 4's and stuff, you're tutti-frutti, like, "Oh, my name's Krishnan Guru-Murthy.
" Why are you like that all the time? You think I speak too posh.
You're all a bit tutti-frutti for my liking.
It's weird.
Krishnan.
You stand accused of being tutti-frutti! How do you plead? Err Guilty is how he pleads! Krishnan Nice to meet you.

Excellent answer.
You keep your job! No-one goes away empty-handed, Krishnan.
So, there's your present.
It's a Scotch egg.
I'd like you to take that with you.
And please can you give that to Jon Snow? OK, so, I am sorry, you'll have to bear with me for this next bit, cos I'm contractually obliged to do it, cos Gupta's parents bung loads of money into this show, and for that they want to get him on telly, to have his own bit.
So, take a look at Gupta interviewing Bollywood film legend MGB Randall in Film Talk.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.
Today I'm on the set of MGB Randall's latest film, Alatar, the Bollywood remake of Avatar.
MGB Randall, thanks for joining! You're most welcome! So, your latest film.
What is that about? Well, in the latest movie I play the dual role of handicapped military gentleman in wheelchair.
And then, when I get sent to the spaceship, I get distracted because I fall in love with a 14-foot blue goblin played by the beautiful Tika Shetty, and this induces much heart pounding, epic rumpus, tittle-tattle and rumpy-pumpy from MGB! Gupta? Gupta? Err, yes! Are you listening to me? All your films are the same old bullshit.
Formulaic.
I don't care.
You don't care.
Oh, so you want to fight me? I'd rather fight than listen to you bang on about your bullshit movies! OK, let's go! Oh! The knife! And that was a Film Talk exclusive there.
Gupta interviewing Bollywood legend MGB Randall.
And then kicking the shit out of him! Join me after the break for more music, more guests and more shen-n-ngans! Shenanigans! It's bank holiday in my burger van Gonna make some money I'm a burger man.
Why not? Hold on, boss, there's something wrong.
What is it now, Gupta? Underneath the van is a bastard bomb.
Oh, my God.
For God's sake, Gupta, not today Is it al-Qaeda or the IRA? Is it al-Qaeda or the IRA? Is it al-Qaeda or the IRA? WWDB do? What does that mean, boss? What would Duncan Bannatyne do? Oh, yes! Is it al-Qaeda or the IRA? Is it al-Qaeda or the IRA? It can't be the IRA.
They haven't been doing nothing since the 1990s and they usually give a warning, according to authority.
Maybe it's the al-Qaedas.
I don't know.
What do they want with me? Is it cos I sell pork sausages? Hold on, boss, I've made a mistake.
