Transcript

TT: “Is it getting bigger abroad? Because I saw you and Greg Davies on all the fancy, late night, sexy talk shows in America.”

AH: “Yeah, weirdly it is. It’s only on YouTube in America, but it seems to have picked up momentum somehow. And I like being a niche, culty thing, and it is that. You know, it’s a very small thing in a huge pond. But, I mean, I've always said if Greg goes – which he will eventually, because he's not a healthy man – it's going to be… I think Trump is the only possible successor.”

TT: “Oh, that would be a sort of nice full circle. He went from The Apprentice, dabbled briefly in politics, and then returns as the host!” 

GW: “It’s nailed on in many ways.”

AH: “I love you’re saying he’s dabbled briefly in politics for two decades!!”

TT: “I just picture him sat on the throne with Alex sat next to him.” 

AH: “I’ll still be there.” 

TT: “Oh you'll still be there!”
