Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch hosts red-faced over comic Reginald D Hunter’s sweary outburst
CHANNEL 4’s Sunday Brunch hosts laughed off comic Reginald D Hunter’s sweary outburst on the breakfast show today.
Red-faced Tim Lovejoy and Simon Rimmer were red-faced at the unexpected moment the 52-year-old shouted “a***”.
The presenters were talking about the American comedian returning to the stage after the coronavirus pandemic.
Reginald said: “Being in lockdown, you’re used to using your indoor voice and talking to one person at a time.
“It takes two or three gigs for you to go, ‘oh ok I’m supposed to be a bit arrogant, oh I’m supposed to be a bit of an a***.’
“Can I say that on daytime TV?”
Tim Lovejoy said: “Er, I don’t know. Don’t say it again.”
His co-presenter Simon Rimmer laughed, saying: “We’re trying to find where the line is.”
Reginald added: “I don’t want you to get cancelled by people watching you and stuff man. I understand I got you all in trouble when I couldn’t pick a bad biscuit.
“But yeah every gig I’ve done is different. It’s taken people a strong minute for people to get comfortable being together again, We’ve come a long way with this thing, but I think we’ve got a long way to go still.”
