Is john cleese still alive

Entertainment reporter

Actor and comedian John Cleese has confirmed he will host his own GB News TV show from next year.

The Fawlty Towers star told BBC Radio 4's Today programme the new show will see him work alongside satirist Andrew Doyle, and encourage "proper argument".

Doyle currently hosts Free Speech Nation on the channel which launched last year.

Cleese warned that GB News audiences "may not be used to hearing the sort of things I'll be saying".

"I was approached and I didn't know who they were," he explained to presenter Amol Rajan on Monday.

"I don't know much about modern television because I've pretty much given up on it - English television."

He added: "Then I met one or two of the people concerned and had a dinner with them and I liked them very much.

"And what they said was, 'people say it's a right-wing channel [but] it's a free speech channel'."
