“I really enjoyed recording this show with John Bishop,” says Jimmy. “I especially liked the nice touch that John went to when he sent me a note of thanks and reminded me of our last meeting on a beach over in Turkey!
“This was a few years ago when John was just starting out on his comedy career and I was in the resort where he was appearing at one of the local hotels.
“John was walking along the beach with his family and he bumped into me and I wished him all the very best with his career.
“John wrote in his note to me on the day of the recording of the Sky1 show: ‘Jimmy, great to have you on the show – it’s a long way from a holiday in Turkey!! Cheers John.’”
Jimmy says he is thrilled to be part of this new and exciting comedy series which is targeted at family viewing.
He adds: “I think it is great that not only do they have a great line-up of comedians – including an attractive mix of young comedians and legends such as Jason Manford and Tom O’Connor – but there is a nice twist that other celebrities and members of the public have also been filmed telling their favourite joke.
“The show deserves nothing but success.”
