(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Say a little prayer, make me feel like a natural woman
and show some R-E-S-P-E-C-T -
it's time for The Last Leg.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Tonight on the show, we get present and involved with Jeremy Corbyn,
look at the role of role models,
and throw the book at Donald Trump.
Plus, we'll be joined on the couch
by TV star and campaigner Caitlyn Jenner
and singer-songwriter Lily Allen.
On the show that never gets caught short.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
G'day! Hello!
Uh, hi. I'm Adam Hills.
Welcome to The Last Leg,
the third show that Stormy Daniels won't be appearing on today,
although, to be fair, we didn't invite her.
With me on the couch as always
are the pride of Dartmoor, Josh Widdicombe,
and the man who went into Starbucks last week
and ordered an Ariana Grande, Alex Brooker!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Uh...good news and bad news. This is our last show of the series.
AUDIENCE: Aww! ALEX: Yes!
(LAUGHS) Yeah, which is bad news,
except for Alex, 'cause we're having a holiday.
Uh, what are you doing on your break?
What are you gonna do for the next six weeks, Josh?
Oh, I'm just working on other projects.
Are you? OK. Yeah.
This isn't gonna last forever, is it? So...
(LAUGHTER) Actually, hopefully, it is.
I've got a mortgage. I need this to last forever.
Uh, I am basically spending six weeks being involved in disability sport.
Have a fucking day off, mate. (LAUGHTER)
Not from being disabled. You can't do that.
(LAUGHTER)
Yeah, I've scheduled next Tuesday off to not be disabled.
(LAUGHTER)
No, so, next weekend, I'm going to Australia
with the Warrington Wolves physical disability rugby league team.
Who are here tonight. Lads. (MEN CHEER, APPLAUD)
We are playing against the South Sydney Rabbitohs -
the first English team to ever play an Australian team
in disability rugby league.
I hate to say it, but you realise you're not English?
Yes, I am aware of that. Uh...
So I'm gonna be on the field... trying to do a Cockney geezer accent.
(LAUGHTER)
(COCKNEY ACCENT) "Alright, lads! Smash those Aussie bastards!"
(LAUGHTER)
Uh, before I do that, though,
tomorrow, there's an amazing disability triathlon.
You're running a triathlon? I'm competing in...
Well, a disability triathlon. Right.
Which is basically like a marathon but for people with three limbs.
Um, no, it is...
Ooh! You went off me on that one! (LAUGHTER)
Don't do the disability jokes on this show, mate.
Yeah, turns out - very sensitive. They don't like them.
Very sensitive. Shit!
(LAUGHTER)
No, there's a superhero triathlon tomorrow,
and basically, I've got two kids, disabled kids, as teammates.
One of them's doing the swim, one of them's doing the cycle,
and then I'm finishing it by doing the last leg.
Literally, I am... You're doing the final...
You're doing the glory leg? You've got two disabled kids...
(LAUGHTER) ..doing the swim and the cycle,
and then you're like, "Yes, guys!"
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
"And I've only got one leg! Come on!"
How far are you running? I'm running a kilometre.
A kilometre?! (LAUGHTER)
That's not... A k?! One k?! One k. That's...
That's not a run! That's the celebrity bit of it!
When I grew up on Dartmoor, that's how far I had to go to see a person!
(LAUGHTER)
Alex, what are you gonna do with your break?
Um, I think I'm probably just gonna try and finish
my erotic novel that I've been writing.
(LAUGHTER)
It's kind of like fan fiction. Yep.
It's like a Choose Your Own Adventure,
but every adventure, you end up
getting to sleep with the main character in it.
And just for legal reasons, I have to say
that any likenesses to real people are purely incidental.
But, yeah, um, look out
for The Erotic Adventures Of Josh Will-He-Come later this year.
(LAUGHTER)
You'll be hearing from my lawyers. (APPLAUSE)
Or...I might just do some running with disabled kids.
Yeah, either/or. Um... (LAUGHTER)
One k! (LAUGHTER)
Did you say your run was "one k" or "wonky"?
(LAUGHTER)
Can't it be both?
Nicky says, "#isitok it's the last in the series of The Last Leg tonight?
"What will be the state of events when it returns?
"Will Brexit have moved on? Who will we get answers from?"
Well, here's the thing - last time we had a break,
we were thinking, "Well, nothing will happen when we have a break."
Literally, it was, like, two days later
that the Australian cricket ball-tampering scandal happened.
So, tonight, our poll is, what news do you think is gonna break
over the next two months?
Will Theresa May still be prime minister?
Will Donald Trump still be president?
Will Toblerone change their shape again?
(LAUGHTER)
Tweet us at @TheLastLeg, use the hashtag #MysticLeg...
Oh, I love that.
(LAUGHTER)
That's more their scene!
(LAUGHTER)
We'll update your predictions throughout the show
and wrap up the show with one of our own.
Any early predictions you'd like to make?
For the news? Yeah.
"Hills pulls up injured after 800 metres"?
(LAUGHTER)
I think my fan fiction might make the Sunday Times bestseller list.
As always, we will do our best to answer your big questions this week.
You can tweet them to us at @TheLastLeg. Use the hashtag #isitok.
For example, #isitok
that Boris Johnson dodged questions about his language last week
by offering journalists cups of tea?
(LAUGHTER) No.
#isitok to zoom in to see what brand of tea it was?
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
Uh...
If you didn't see it, basically, this is how it played out.
The journalists were there to ask him questions, and this...
I mean, Boris didn't even...
..the way he dealt with it was quite remarkable.
The way he dealt with it was like Mrs Doyle from Father Ted.
(LAUGHTER) Have a look.
WOMAN: ..your comment? Will you have a cup of tea?
Will you... Would you like a cup of tea?
Yeah, sure. Go on, have a cup of tea.
Thank you, thank you. Do you regret...
Would you like a cup of tea?
Do you regret your comment? (LAUGHS) (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
Do you regret the comments... Go on, have a cup of tea.
MAN: Thank you very much.
ALEX: I think... (LAUGHTER)
It's...
He needs to apologise for leaving the bag in the tea.
(LAUGHTER)
Also, not his best cups.
A fucking Mini Egg...? You got that free with an Easter egg, mate!
(LAUGHTER)
Now, while Boris served up tea this week,
Jeremy Corbyn made a hash of things.
As Flostermum asked, "#isitok
"Jeremy Corbyn played 'I didn't, I don't think, oh, yes, I did' all week
"instead of just giving a straight-up, honest interview?
"That's what he's supposed to be about,
"but he just looked like every other shifty politician."
Now, we've touched on Labour's ongoing anti-Semitism row
over the past few weeks,
but this week, we need to talk about Jeremy.
And look, I know things are gonna get a bit tense while we do this,
so, um...
(CLEARS THROAT)
(POSH VOICE) Would you like tea? Shall we have some tea?
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE) Have some tea. Would you like tea?
Have...have tea. Have tea. Thank you.
Have tea. Cup of tea.
Tea. Do you want sugar?
No, I'm alright. I'll take it back. I'll take it back.
Huh. Huh. Have some tea.
I don't know whether this was deliberate,
but my mug says, "I woke up looking like this."
(LAUGHTER)
God, I can't wait for 11 o'clock! (LAUGHS)
Alright, here's what happened this week.
Photos surfaced of Jeremy Corbyn at a memorial in 2014
for Palestinians killed by an Israeli air strike in Tunisia,
but there was conjecture over whether they were also commemorating
terrorists involved in the killing of Israeli athletes
at the 1972 Olympic Games.
Now, this was Jeremy Corbyn's response.
A wreath was indeed laid by some of those who attended the conference,
for those that were killed in Paris in 1992.
REPORTER: Were you involved in that wreath-laying?
Um, I was present when it was laid.
I don't think I was actually involved in it.
Ooh, it was the eyes for me. It was the darting eyes.
This is the problem for Jeremy Corbyn.
He's known as the straight-talking politician,
but the darting eyes just made him look like every guilty dog on YouTube
who's been caught soiling the floor.
(LAUGHTER) Well, that's the thing.
Gary asked, "#isitok that Jeremy Corbyn
"used the Bill Clinton 'didn't inhale' defence this week -
"'I touched the wreath, but didn't lay it'?"
The phrase "present but not involved" was what people seized on this week,
as it joined Bill Clinton's "I didn't inhale"
and Shaggy's "it wasn't me" in the great Rolodex of male excuses.
"Present but not"... He was "present but not involved"!
I've been present but not involved on a lot of panel shows.
(LAUGHTER)
Anyone who saw me on Never Mind The Buzzcocks,
I was present but not involved.
I think "present but not involved"
is how every man describes the birth of his own child.
Yes? Like, he was at a cemetery.
Like, it's, like... it's not really a good excuse,
because if he'd have been at Disneyland
and they'd have started laying a wreath,
he could have said, you know, "I didn't expect it to happen."
If the photo had been of him on Space Mountain
and it just so happened the blokes behind him
were laying a wreath to commemorate terrorists,
then, yeah, you could go...
Well, and "present but not involved" suggests...
And that was his suggestion -
he wasn't really engaged in the whole thing.
Unfortunately, this photo on the Facebook page
of the embassy of Palestine in Tunisia
kind of suggested otherwise.
Again! Untag yourself!
(LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE)
Always... Yeah.
I always untag myself in photos where I look fat
or it looks like I could be laying a wreath for some terrorists.
(LAUGHTER) It's a simple rule.
You always say that.
When you're holding a wreath, well, there's no real ex...
"Oh, yeah, sorry, we were playing pass the wreath and..."
(LAUGHTER)
When Jeremy Corbyn tried to explain THAT photo,
his eyes then started working overtime.
I was there when the wreaths were laid. That's pretty obvious.
There were many others there who were witness to that.
I witnessed many other people laying many wreaths.
REPORTER: Did you lay the wreath?
(SIGHS) (AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
I laid one wreath, along with many other people.
(LAUGHS) What I love about that -
A, he looks like a Jeremy Corbyn action figure with movable eyes.
But he's like a teenager that's been told to tidy their room! (LAUGHS)
"Oh, Dad! You're so embarrassing!" (LAUGHTER)
"No, they're MEANT to be worn backwards!"
He kind of looks like he was gonna end that interview
by running up to his room and screaming, "It's unfair."
(LAUGHTER)
"Please don't drop me at the school gates, Dad!"
The whole thing is massively murky, and it's certainly not as clear-cut
as Boris calling women in burqas "letterboxes".
However, it is creating a huge amount of outrage in the Jewish community,
and in the wider community.
And unfortunately, look, there is a bit of a cult about Jeremy Corbyn,
and that cult will attack anyone
that aims the slightest bit of criticism at him.
Ironically, they're starting to treat him like he's the Messiah.
One Corbyn supporter asked,
"#isitok to smear Jeremy Corbyn? #IStandWithCorbyn"
Well, that raises the question,
is this a political attack on Jeremy Corbyn,
or has he made a mess of it all?
Personally, I think it's a bit of both.
I think there are definitely people who want to take Corbyn down.
However, one way to avoid being outed
as someone who seems to honour terrorists
is to not seem to be honouring terrorists.
Right now, Jeremy Corbyn is kind of looking like the guy
who turns up at A&E with a hoover nozzle up his arse,
and says, "Oh, I was cleaning in the nude and I fell over!"
(LAUGHTER)
I mean, he might be telling the truth,
but it still doesn't look good.
So, did that excuse work for you, then?
Yeah, they bought it. Absolutely. (LAUGHTER)
Um... (LAUGHS)
But the thing is that might not be a bad idea for him.
If he actually genuinely did that,
it'd get all the anti-Semitism stuff out of the papers,
and also, he could talk about NHS waiting times.
(LAUGHTER)
"Four hours, it took them to remove that!"
Poor old Henry stuck up there for four hours!
Here's what I'd like to know, and I mean this.
Jeremy Corbyn has said in the past
he's shared stages with people whose views he opposes,
like Hamas, for instance,
because it's important to hear everyone's voice.
That's a great point, but during the Brexit referendum,
he refused to share a stage with David Cameron and Tony Blair
to fight for what they all believed in.
So, ARE you listening to everyone,
or are you just picking and choosing who you share a stage with?
'Cause you know what I'd love right now,
is if Labour kind of got their shit together.
The country's trying to work its way through a Brexit negotiation
and you're all squabbling like children.
So I'm gonna say to you what I say to my children -
apologise, admit you fucked up and move on!
(LAUGHTER)
Yes, that's what I say to my children!
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
"I mean"...
You're a better father than I ever thought!
"I mean, this colouring's crap. You've gone outside the lines..."
(LAUGHTER)
Right now, Jeremy Corbyn, you're stumbling around
like Hugh Grant in Four Weddings And A Funeral,
while also impersonating Andie MacDowell saying,
"Oh, is it still anti-Semitic? I hadn't noticed."
Uh, look, Gordon Brown said this week that Jeremy Corbyn has a lot to do
to repair the damage done to the Jewish community,
and to be honest, he's gonna have to do something big.
And when I say big, I mean, like, MASSIVE big. Do you know what I mean?
I mean, forget about Boris Johnson.
Jeremy Corbyn's gonna have to look like this.
(LAUGHTER)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(ADAM LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES) If you... Are you gonna dunk?
I just so happened to have a Bourbon on me, so I might...
Oh, shit. I've dropped... You dropped it in!
Don't...don't salvage it!
I am not playing soggy biscuit with you.
(LAUGHTER)
And that is...
I love the way you've got one tea bag,
as if that's what it would take to fill that cup!
That, ladies and gentlemen, is a shitstorm in a teacup!
(LAUGHTER, CHEERING)
Alright, let's welcome tonight's guests.
One is a singer-songwriter who's been nominated for a Mercury Prize.
The other is a campaigner and TV star.
Would you please welcome Lily Allen and Caitlyn Jenner!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
So, welcome to the show.
(LAUGHTER)
Welcome to Britain! Uh...
I've been doing this for a long time.
Yep.
I've done Johnny Carson, I've done every...
First entrance I ever had with a naked man in a tub.
Hooray! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Um...
Would you...would either of you like some tea?
Uh, not...not currently. (LAUGHTER)
We can take the tea away. Thank you. Thank you very much.
Um, I don't know what you know of... Goodbye!
(LAUGHTER)
That's not surreal at all. I just don't know why...
Why have we still not won that BAFTA?
(LAUGHTER)
By the way, Caitlyn -
I don't know how much you know about British politics -
that is the actual Opposition Leader.
(LAUGHTER) Really? No, I don't know that much.
Can I just say one thing? Yes.
Before we get started?
One of the reasons I really like this show and wanted to do this show
is because everybody's got stuff in life,
everybody has things that they have to deal with.
I've had it. We've all had it here. Yeah.
And it's not what your stuff is, it's how you deal with it. You know?
Yeah. And what you can do with your life.
And I see everybody -
I know, well, we've got Josh, the able-bodied person...
I don't know about an able mind, but...
(LAUGHTER)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Unbelievable.
But it's about...it's about...
I know all of you are successful, you've been able to take...
..even overcoming a lot of obstacles
and be able to really do something with your life,
and you're just a very positive role model for a lot of young people.
Oh, well, thank you very much. Thank you.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
OK, now we can get on. OK.
Alright.
OK, enough... I enjoyed MOST of that compliment.
(LAUGHTER) OK, good.
Now, you arrived yesterday into London.
Yes, I did.
But is it true you were on the same flight as Stormy Daniels?
(LAUGHTER)
For those who don't know,
Stormy Daniels was, of course, the person who...
My good friend Sophia was with me
and I went through the entire - what is it? -
eight, nine-hour flight to get here.
Never... I saw somebody on the other side
and then, when we were getting ready to land
and everybody's getting ready,
I looked over, and it was - it was Stormy Daniels.
So, Stormy Daniels, for those who don't know,
is the person accused of having an affair with Donald Trump,
that he supposedly paid off...
Uh, I don't think she's been accused - she's accusing him.
(LAUGHTER) Oh, sorry. Yeah.
Just a small point. Yes, that's an excellent point.
Thank you for pulling me up on that. I try to stay away from that stuff.
But the only problem I had is she had all this security around her -
I didn't have anybody! Yeah.
I was thinking, "Who am I? I'm nobody!"
You are yesterday's news. It is all about...
I want an entourage. I know.
And what was weird, though, is that...
..so everyone was then saying,
"Why is Stormy Daniels in Britain? Why is she in London?
"Is it for Celebrity Big Brother? Is it for something else?"
And then, yesterday afternoon, an artist by the name of Stormzy
announced scholarships to Cambridge
and I misread that and thought, "Wow! She has a surprised everyone."
(LAUGHTER) "No-one saw that coming."
Uh, now, Lily, welcome to the show.
We've not really met before, but Josh has kind of almost met you before.
Well, I'd forgotten this,
and then I said this week, "I've not met Lily Allen,"
and my friend said, "No, you have.
"We were once out in a bar in Soho, and she pointed at you
"and she said, 'Ooh! There's Ed Sheeran!'"
(LAUGHTER)
Good to see you again. Hello!
Um, but Josh has been raving all week about your new album.
I love your new album. It's amazing. Thank you so much.
No, I do. And do you love my work as Ed Sheeran?
(LAUGHTER) Yeah.
No, I do. It's an amazing album. Thank you.
Uh, now, it's called No Shame. It is.
How long did it take...
It's taken you a while to put this album together, hasn't it?
Yeah, it took me...took me about 2.5 years to write it.
Right. In all my time on TV, I've never held up an actual album.
There you go. Do you know what I mean?
Is there one in there? Uh...
Oh, my... Oh.
Yes! Heeey! Yay!
CAITLYN: There actually is an album? Look at that.
There are kids watching right now going, "I've no idea what that is."
(LAUGHS) Right. (LAUGHTER)
Amazing. Um, so...
How does that fit in your iPhone? (LAUGHTER)
You've gotta keep up with the kids. (LAUGHTER)
Now, uh...Lily, when do you go on tour, by the way?
'Cause there's a tour coming up. Oh, God. Dates.
Um, uh... Oh, no, just general.
You don't have to name them all. Yeah. I mean, this year.
(LAUGHTER)
I'll see you there, this year! No... Somewhere! Uh, no.
I'm playing in America, I think for like five weeks in October,
and then back here in Europe and the UK in December, yeah.
OK. Cool. Now, listen - we've gotta talk about the news.
And I know you have been quite supportive
of Jeremy Corbyn in the past. Yes.
How do you feel about everything that's going on at the moment?
Everyone went, "Oooh." (LAUGHTER)
How do I feel? Well, to be honest, I don't really feel that much
because I deactivated my Twitter about three weeks ago -
I haven't really been following the news.
Yep. I'm gonna do that. Been a bit cut off.
He's now Prime Minister. (LAUGHTER)
(UNCERTAINLY) Yay! (LAUGHTER)
Um, yeah. I mean, I think... Yeah. I like...I like him. Sorry!
No, that's fine. Look... You don't have do apologise.
Your Twitter's off - go nuts. Yeah.
He's brilliant! Um, yeah.
He's the saviour.
No, I think he's...you know, seems like a good bloke.
Caitlyn has a weird...
Now, you have a weird connection to the Corbyn story this week,
because it was all about the terrorist attack
in the Olympics in 1972, in Munich.
You were there, were you not?
Yes. I've been around that long. (LAUGHTER)
Uh, my first... my first Olympics were in 1972.
And, uh, I went to Munich. I was 22 years old.
I never even should have made it on the Olympic team,
but I snuck into third place and I had an opportunity to go.
Yeah.
I get there, woke up that morning,
Steve Prefontaine, a great miler, or a great distance guy we had,
came in the room and said, "Somebody got shot."
And I go, "What's that all about?"
Anyway, went out, actually saw one of the terrorists at one point.
And, uh, it was just...
..it really ticked me off.
I'd imagine. I had never seen...
And that's probably one of the first times on a world scale
that we really witnessed terrorism, you know -
where television was coming of its own
and, you know, ABC was there and Jim McKay and all of that,
and it was just absolutely horrible.
It ticked me off so bad
because the Olympics have such potential for good.
Yeah.
It's that largest gathering of countries in the world.
We bring over 200 countries together for games, for competition.
And to have this happen just really was very upsetting.
And obviously, the loss of 11 great athletes.
And to hear you talk about it, as well,
puts everything that has been talked about this week into perspective.
'Cause it's very easy to throw things around,
and names and positions and things that happened in the past,
but to talk to someone who was actually there,
it just reminds you that it was a horrific act.
And look, there have been some sad moments this week,
and the next one is coming up as well,
but it's kind of lovely as well.
Kathleen Allen said, "#isitok to take a moment tomorrow night" -
'cause she Tweeted yesterday -
"to celebrate the power and magic that was Aretha Franklin?
"There's not a great deal about my country that I'm proud of right now,
"but goddammit, she was something special, and she was ours."
That did come from America, by the way, that tweet.
Alright, let's move on. As England cricketer Ben Stokes
was cleared of charges of affray this week,
and a gay couple involved thanked him for defending them,
Stephanie asked,
"#isitok to regard Ben Stokes as a hero for being a thug?"
and referenced this.
Now, The Sun newspaper ran with the couple's story and said, "Our hero."
So, is he a hero, is he a thug
or, once again, is it maybe a bit of both?
'Cause I'm pretty sure you can defend people from homophobic abuse
without knocking anyone unconscious.
Now, this...this is going to be a tricky conversa...
(POSH VOICE) More tea? Does anyone like...? Some more...?
(LAUGHTER)
Um, I've got crumpets. Would you like a crumpet?
I've got some... Yes. Oh, yeah, I'll take a crumpet.
Will you take a crumpet? Excellent. Take one, pass one on.
Definitely gonna need a crumpet for this one.
Cool. We've got no butter. They're pretty dry.
I'm so sorry. No butter?!
Can we get butter for Caitlyn? Butter?
Do you have any idea who this person is? Come on!
(LAUGHTER) Do I have to take one?
I have never found a colder crumpet in my life.
I'm so sorry, Caitlyn - that's all we've got.
It's a very firm crumpet, isn't it?
Honestly, can someone find some butter for Caitlyn, please?
I think this is absolutely appalling. We should treat you better than that.
Um, alright, OK, let's talk about the story.
As England rugby player Danny Cipriani
pleaded guilty to assault this week as well,
it raises the question - and this is the one I want to ask -
should sports stars be held to a higher standard
when they're in public?
What do you think? I'm gonna start with you, Caitlyn.
With a mouthful of...
How do you feel on that? He specifically said you first.
Oh. (LAUGHTER)
You're gonna make me answer that? I was pushing it off on you.
I'm...I'm learning this game now.
OK. I'm gonna push it right back.
(LAUGHS)
Yes. (LAUGHTER)
(APPLAUSE) Done.
No.
Honestly...
Honestly, I think they should be.
I think it's an honour to be able to play sports.
I took it as an honour when I was doing it back then.
Yeah. Even today,
with all the things that I've been through over the last three years,
I feel a responsibility to the way I carry myself
and the things that I do in public.
Because I represent a community that is very marginalised.
And so, if... if somebody wants a selfie
I do my best job to try to be able accommodate that
and be nice to those people,
because it's important,
because I want them to walk away with a smile on their face.
And they've probably never met anybody who is trans,
but I want them to walk away and say,
"Oh, my God! Caitlyn, she was just great. She was so nice and sweet."
But I think athletes, the same way, have that responsibility.
A lot of young people look up to them.
And you should accept that responsibility
in the way you conduct yourself.
And when you're famous generally, Lily?
Like, did you modify your behaviour, when you were in public?
(LAUGHTER)
Uh...
Do you want me to answer that for you?
(LAUGHTER) Yes! Yeah. Please, do.
OK, let's see... No, I didn't. I didn't, really.
I'm not really into the whole role model thing - as you know.
But, um, yeah, I don't... I kind of feel like role models
should be, like, people that you know, and you can, you know, touch -
they're your mum, your sister, your aunt, your brother, you know?
Those are the people whose behaviour you're gonna experience one-to-one,
and it's real, you know?
Everything that you're seeing from famous people, on the whole -
me excluded -
is, uh...is rubbish.
(LAUGHTER) Um...yeah.
I think, not to go on about how good your album is...
(LAUGHS) Thanks.
..but one of the great things about the album
is 'cause it is so honest about your own flaws.
That's what you want from people in the public eye as well
is, you don't want people that just appear, you know, perfect,
but people that are in touch with their own, kind of, mistakes.
Yeah. If you know what I mean.
Even sportspeople? Even... Yeah.
My favourite sportspeople are, like, Ronnie O'Sullivan. He's...
The reason he's my favourite sportsman
is 'cause snooker's really fun... (LAUGHTER)
..but he's a flawed individual, so he's exciting to watch.
Do you know what I mean? You don't know what's gonna happen next.
The New Zealand All Blacks rugby union team
famously has a 'no dickheads' policy.
So should Ben Stokes have been allowed
back into the English cricket team?
Um... Oh, I mean, I'm...
..I'm not an expert on cricket or punching, so...
(LAUGHTER)
..I don't feel like I'm in a really good place.
I feel...I feel sorry for the guy that got dropped for him.
Yeah! Unbelievable.
He was, like, man of the match the other day,
and he's got dropped 'cause, like, Ben Stokes got cleared.
He's gonna be out tonight, going,
"I don't suppose anybody needs defending, do they,
"so I can get back on this team?"
OK, well, here's a question - if you're in the public eye
and you're found innocent of a crime like this,
or any crime, how do you move forward?
What's the next step for Ben Stokes?
If you're in sports,
you go out there and conduct yourself in the proper manner
and, number two, be really good.
Come back, give great performances - win the people back that way.
You know, we have that in the United States right now, with Tiger Woods.
Yeah, right.
I think that's just a wonderful, wonderful story.
I mean, he went through five years of...
..he just had all sorts of issues that...
..personal issues that he was dealing with,
and injuries, and on and on and on.
And you took here, for a 10-year run,
the greatest golfer of all time,
and then he just went, literally, in the hole.
Yeah. Um...
And has come...and has come back... (LAUGHTER)
Maybe that was not a good one.
(LAUGHS) Yeah, that was possibly not the right...
It was the golf hole!
The golf hole. In the golf hole. In the golf hole. Thank you.
In the golf hole. He played more than the full 18.
You're audience's mind is in the gutter, I can tell you.
Into the golf hole - that's what I meant.
But... And he's come back. Yeah.
And I'm cheering for him. I would love to see him...
Oh, he came close to winning, you know, the PGA Championships.
I was pulling for him. I want to see him...
What a great story of a comeback.
And like you said, people like that comeback.
Well, there was a lovely example this week
of a sporting team using their profile for good.
As Lesley asked, "#isitok that not every football club
"looks after its fans like this? #BarnsleyFCMoreThanAClub"
Now, so, the mental health charity Mind
has partnered up with the English Football League this season.
So the CEO of Barnsley Football Club wrote a letter to a fan that said,
"I've noticed through social media
"you've had a bit of a hard time recently,"
and then added, "You've always supported us,
"so we want you to know that if the favour needs returning
"and we need to support you, please do let us know,"
and then said "You're welcome to swing by anytime.
"My office door is always open."
It was the perfect example of using sport to make a difference.
And we'd like to congratulate the Barnsley Football Club tonight
for such a great gesture.
So, to do that, would you please welcome
a representative of the Barnsley Football Club,
the Barnsley mascot, Toby Tyke the dog!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Welcome, Toby. Oop! Oop!
Welcome.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
First time on TV and you're already kissing on both cheeks.
(LAUGHTER)
Toby, listen, when someone associated with this show
does something wrong, we give them...
Hi.
..we give them the Dick of the Year Award.
But you haven't done anything wrong, you've done something great,
so, instead of the Dick of the Year Award
we're giving you a massive bone.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Watch...watch your step. Watch your step. Watch your step.
There you go. There you go. There you go.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Now, while we're talking role models, Em asked,
"#isitok that Jack Whitehall
"is playing the first openly gay - 'very camp' - Disney character?"
Now, it was an up-and-down week for Disney.
Yay for having an openly gay character in a movie,
not so yay he's played by a straight man.
Yay that it's the very funny Jack Whitehall,
not so yay he's getting a lot of backlash for it.
Now, some gay people are upset
that they're not getting a chance to tell their own stories
but, on the other hand, this is a huge step forward for Disney -
#GiveElsaAGirlfriend.
Uh... (LAUGHTER)
What are our thoughts on this?
Well, speaking as someone
who's taken a disabled role for the last six years...
(LAUGHTER)
..I can't get on my high horse about anything here.
It's kind of a weird...
Should the role have been played by a gay person, do you guys think?
No.
I mean, yes, if the gay person was, you know, a great actor
and that's what, you know, suited the part, but I think, like...
It's acting.
I agree. Come on!
I mean, we've had... It's so silly.
We've run into that in the trans community,
'cause we've had more trans characters out there playing.
And, for instance, with The Danish Girl, and Eddie Redmayne.
Yep.
Obviously, a straight guy playing a trans woman.
The community went absolutely crazy -
"You should have had a trans person playing it."
And I never saw it that way, to be honest with you.
You were fine with it?
He's a great actor. He did a great job.
I thought it was... You know, I liked it.
And I called GLAAD, who's the... handles PR for the community,
after I saw it, and I said, "Oh, my God. It was so good."
And he goes, "Don't ever say anything."
Oh, really? Right. Yeah. "Keep your mouth shut.
"Don't say Eddie Redmayne did a good job and this and that,
"'cause the whole community is up in arms -
"'They should've had a trans person playing that role.'"
Well, Eddie Redmayne's a phenomenal actor
and did a phenomenal job in playing that character,
so I didn't quite agree with it, but I had to keep my mouth shut.
I even went to the Vanity Fair party for the Oscars -
he was nominated for an Oscar - and I'm thinking,
I would love to have said hi and meet him
and, you know, tell him he did a good job,
but I couldn't - I had to stay away from him.
I couldn't get a picture taken with him.
Well, we've have had a similar conversation here
about The Rock, Dwayne Johnson,
playing a disabled character in the movie Skyscraper,
which we've always said along... we've had absolutely no problem with.
You did find a problem with it this week, though, Alex?
Yeah. I thought it'd be a realistic portrayal of, like...
..an action film with a bloke with one leg,
if, like, in the middle of, like, a knife fight, he'd be like,
"Hang on a sec - I just need to... I've got a really bad itch."
(LAUGHTER) And shit like that.
But the first 10 minutes, or 15 minutes or so,
he gets shot in the leg, and it bounced off it.
And I was just like, "These ain't bulletproof."
(LAUGHTER)
I don't... I reckon mine would be. I reckon if a bullet...
Oh, God. We've had this in the office this week.
I know, we've talked about this all week.
But I think, 'cause it's kind of round, right...
Round?! Well...
Yeah, that's why an orange is bulletproof, mate.
No, but... (LAUGHTER)
Do you know how...?
Unless it's made of something bulletproof...
Yeah. ..it don't matter what shape it is.
Otherwise, in armies everyone would be in big cylinders, wouldn't they?
(LAUGHTER) No... OK, Look.
This is an argument that's been going on for a while between Alex and I.
All week, we've been talking about
whether or not a prosthetic would be bulletproof.
Earlier today, we tested just how indestructible a prosthetic is.
Here is our documented evidence.
Easy. I could smash that with a hammer, easy. Smash it up.
There's no way you could smash that with a hammer.
I could break it with my bare hands.
I could break YOUR leg with my bare hands.
Hand your leg over, alright? No!
It's carbon fibre
all the way around.
It's one single sheet. It's indestructible.
Mate, do you know what else is made of carbon?
What? A pencil.
I can break a pe... I've broken a pencil. I've done it.
Nothing's going to break that.
Where's Alex?
I don't know. He said, "Be here at 3:00."
(ENGINE RUMBLES)
Oh, dear Lord. Oh, my God.
Onward!
I told you! I told you!
Apologise.
I'm sorry, Josh.
Under a tank... Yes!
..a carbon prosthetic leg is destructible.
Now hand yours over. (LAUGHS)
(LAUGHTER, APPLAUSE)
I'm gonna be honest -
it's not as knackered as I thought it was gonna be.
Actually, it did pretty good. That is not bad.
I reckon you could... You know what...
Mate, that's not like a dent on a Fiesta.
You can't knock it back out. I reckon you almost could.
Yeah? What?
I always thought that you missing a leg
would mean you WOULDN'T have to go to war.
Now I think you should be the first one sent.
(LAUGHTER)
Just lay down under tanks.
I'll tell you who I feel sorry for - the person whose leg that was.
Oh, it is... Where are they?
It was a decommissioned leg. It's a leg that has been used.
It's not a mine!
Well, no, it was like a demonstrator model, basically,
that was being used, and it's not being used anymore,
'cause it is a bit... Well, it certainly isn't now.
Um, alright, let's talk about US politics for a moment,
and a topic close to Caitlyn's heart.
As Betty asked us, "#isitok that Caitlyn supported an administration
"that has and continues to be against the LGBTQ+ community?"
Now, again... I mean, tense topics tonight.
We may need... I mean, I've still got the tea here,
but I'm gonna be perfectly honest, uh...
(POSH VOICE) Whisky! Would anyone like whisky to get through this one?
Anyone want a whisky? Should we pass around the whiskies?
Anyone? Are they real whisky?
Yeah. Go on. Oh, my God.
It's real whisky, if you want some. I'm on the beach already, yeah.
Yeah, OK. Would you like one?
I might as well have a little... Oh, shit - it is!
(LAUGHTER)
I thought it was, like, apple juice. Wow!
Yeah, I know. Yeah, that's legit! Cheers.
Here you go. Cheers! Cheers!
I don't really drink whisky.
Me neither. A little sippy.
So...
This is like a kind of cheese dream I had, where...
(GAGS) (LAUGHTER)
..where, like, I had whiskey... Wow.
Are you alright, Alex?
It's straight whisky - I've never had it bef...
Fuck! (LAUGHTER)
I'm really sorry about this. CAITLYN: Well, you don't show it.
I mean, I'm gonna be honest - this never happened on Chatty Man.
You never saw anyone...
(MIMICS ALAN CARR) "So, tell us about your life,"
and someone going, "Akkkkkkkgh!" (LAUGHTER)
Um, Caitlyn, the question is,
do you still support Donald Trump despite him kind of...
..what he's done for the trans community, etc?
Um... Well, first of all, I never supported him in the first place.
The media kind of had me supporting him.
Is that right? OK.
I've always been on the Republican side.
Right. OK.
OK? I've always believed in limited government
and 18 enumerated powers in our constitution, and all that.
I believe more in the people of our country
than I do the government of our country to run it.
OK.
And so, for that reason, I've always been on the Republican side.
But I'm much more...on the social side, I'm much more progressive.
I mean, we've gotta take care of our people - that's all there is to it.
And so, he was our candidate, so, obviously, I voted for him.
As far as LGBT issues, he's been horrible.
I have been very vocal.
I go back...
Politically, I go back to Washington every couple of months.
Last time I was back there, I was working with the trans military.
I'm doing a lot of things - I talk to senators and congressmen,
and legislation that we have on LGBT issues.
Yeah. Um...
And so, you know, in Trump's case,
there's some things I like that he's done, you know?
Our economy's rocking - we're over 4.1%.
Taxes are down.
Very low unemployment - the lowest unemployment in the black community,
and for women, low unemployment.
So there's a lot of things that he's doing
that actually are very good for the economy.
They haven't been good for trans issues,
besides I hope a trans person can get a job, with a good economy.
Alright, let's move on.
We are a few minutes away
from making our big prediction about next few months - clearly.
(ALEX LAUGHS)
He looks like he is about to regale us with some fantastic tale.
(LAUGHTER)
I've always wanted to have a whisky and a dressing gown.
(LAUGHTER)
Briefly, we asked what news
do you think is gonna break over the next two months?
Loula said, "Alex's fan fiction is recommended by Oprah's Book Club."
(LAUGHTER)
And Luka said, "Prime Minister Jacob Rees-Mogg
"will be addressing our pollution and traffic congestion in London
"by introducing penny-farthings."
(LAUGHTER)
Oh, that was a really depressing way to end the series, wasn't it?
Uh, now, listen, as promised, it's time for Josh and Alex and I
to make our prediction for the next few months.
By the time we're back on air in a few months' time,
it's entirely possible that we may have a new prime minister,
a new leader of the opposition,
or even a new American president.
So we'd like to make a prediction as to which one of those it will be.
Now, in the past we've used pigs in the studio,
we've used hungry hippos,
but, since it's summer,
we're going to use a giant Slip N Slide in the studio.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Come on over, boys.
Uh, I'm gonna give that to you, and that to you.
I you wouldn't mind making your way to the finish line.
Oh. Right. I need my goggles for this as well. Now...
I look like I've escaped from a home!
(LAUGHTER)
Here's what's gonna happen -
Alex, Josh and I...
(LAUGHTER)
..Alex, Josh and I will represent
either Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn or Donald Trump
to see who slides the furthest on this slide.
We don't know who we're representing.
Uh, whoever... whoever slides the least far
is the person we think will lose their job.
Caitlyn and Lily are at the finish line...
Can I just ask a question? Yeah.
What the fuck am I doing with my life?
(LAUGHTER)
Absolutely, let's take our...
We don't know who's on each other's back.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Take a step back.
I'm nervous!
OK. OK. On the whistle.
On the whistle. On the whistle.
Set...
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
(CHEERING)
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
(JOSH SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY) (LAUGHS)
(SPEAKS INDISTINCTLY)
OK, let's have a look at the replay.
Let's look at the replay.
(LAUGHS) Josh...
(LAUGHTER)
Who was on your back?
Jeremy Corbyn.
Our prediction is Jeremy Corbyn will not last the next two months.
That's our official prediction, thanks to Josh's...
The other prediction is I'm not gonna compete at the Olympics.
(LAUGHTER)
Do you know what? I end up covered in lube most Friday nights...
(LAUGHTER)
That's all we've got time for this week, and this series.
Would you please thank our guests,
Caitlyn Jenner... (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
..and Lily Allen! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
And my co-hosts, Josh Widdicombe... (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
..and Alex Brooker! (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Thanks for watching The Last Leg. My name's Adam Hills.
See you later in the year for the next leg. Bye!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
