JACK WHITEHALL: THE TIME I PUSHED MY FATHER TOO FAR

Posh, tall and hilarious - believe it or not, I’m not describing myself - this week I have the wonderful Jack Whitehall joining me on the show. Jack and I have known each other for years, but in that time, his rise has been astronomical: from a gigging standup to the big screen, Jack is one of the most successful British comics of our day.
Getting a friend on the show is always an interesting experience as I get to discover things I never knew - for instance Jack’s failed career in textiles, the realty of working so closely with family (both the joys and challenges) and how becoming a father himself, has changed Jack's outlook on life.
We also discuss his latest show, Fatherhood with My Father, and reminisce on some hilarious moments from the show.

Yet another brilliant podcast Jamie you are such a natural. What a lovely man Jack is . Enjoyed his stories .What a mature head jack has on his shoulders

[@laurajones7314]

Granted I haven't watched this yet, but "mature" is NEVER a word I'd use to describe Jack Whitehall. Hilarious though, yes.

[@BellyLaugher]

I was thinking Jack has known the funny in his father all his life & it sounded like he's delighting in being able to make it so loads more people get to know that kind of experience he's had/get to experience that aspect of his father, too...AND Jack is also reveling in witnessing his father getting to experience loads more people enjoying him/his humor so much. And Jack loved helping create those opportunities. Pretty cool on loads of levels.

The Centre Parcs-Longleat-Duchess Story - The poshest, first world problem and solution I have ever heard. 😂

[@fleurday9438]

Love seeing Jack interviewed and looking forward to seeing Malice hugely. Great stuff Jamie for getting a glimpse of the real Jack I think. Bravo!

[@filizjohnson2059]

Travels with my father me and my 9 year old son Oliver would watch in hospital whilst he was battling cancer, the whores wash he would make me replay over and over. I know maybe he shouldn’t have been watching it but guven he was had watched a few episodes of bad education with his older brother and sister. I just finished watching Fatherhood last night and I haven’t laughed like that in such a long time, that ugly can’t control the muscles in your face laughing. He is honestly a gem ❤

[@laurajones7314]

If there could be a Netflix special, even one episode, with Jack Whitehall, Michael Whitehall and Julius Cowdrey, I would pay GOOD MONEY to see it! Imagine the comedic potential 😂

[@mrme8732]

Great pod. Anyone that has kids are brave! It's a selfless journey, essentially a slave to them for 21 years in a ever worsening trajectory of a crappy world

[@christylawson4099]

You are such a joy to listen to, Jaime. Your laugh is infectious. I think this podcast with Jack is so natural and easy going. Just brilliant!

[@meganfookes2026]

I laughed so hard just brilliant you two x

[@bonnierichards5322]

Love jamie, love Jack. Such a funny and refreshing episode x

[@nicolawhitham6964]

Listened to this in the way to work. Laughed the entire way. Absolutely brilliant xxx

[@karynconner7478]

Lovely interview once again.. love how jack just loves doing things with his dad. Which is going to make him a great dad as he’s had a great role model

[@laurajones7314]

I adore that Jack watches MIC and loves Julius freaking Cowdrey.

[@cate4338]

Does he really, though?

[@Dalabombana]

This is hilarious. 😂

[@alexrs2.037]

Regarding the Chernobyl incident, some things when seen can never be unseen....... You can see in Jacks eyes that he saw and experienced something that will never leave him! Gold

[@RFS001]

That was So So Funny when Jack said, “Do 31”…!

[@dganet]

I really enjoyed that interview ❤x

[@nicholedowning8341]

Holy cow! I googled the safari pace. That place is AMAZING!!

[@anitahargreaves9526]

Daily show, think on KZbin too, Animal Park focused at Longleat worth watching behind the scenes with owners, staff, wild animals.

[@ShannonJewell-ve6iq]

Get Michael on the pod would be amazing!!!🎉

[@nixpuk75]

great fun Jamie and Jack 💕

[@BellyLaugher]

I'm an RN & my bro died of lung cancer at 59yo, so my response is probably impacted by those facts...but honestly, I thought Jack crying when he found out his sister smoked was a healthy response...it kills people, it's addicting & one of the hardest habits to stop...it's like finding out she was willing to kill herself/that they could lose her➡Jack's generation received lots of in-school "public education" from really early ages on it's dangers vs in my gen's time.

[@Lorna1118]

Longleat is amazing!!

[@normanduncan4573]

Ah university education you just can't beat it.

[@jasminev1482]

Love this ❤ love them both. But f me, give Jack some water, those gulps half way through 😫

[@TheDeb295]

Oh, I love jamie interviewing others. However... I didn't find Jack very funny. Now, if Jamie interviewed his dad, that'd be hilarious 😂😂😂 Nah, not really, but it would be hilarious for Jamie to interview Michael. He wouldn't be able to talk because he'd be peeing himself too much ❤

[@kevinrichards8119]

Jack has a great voice too...has he done any voice over work ? ......

[@Screamifyoumeanit]

Chuckles.

[@nikkijones4978]

Wrong county Jamie … Longleat is Wiltshire 😉

[@csharpe5787]

Isn’t Wiltshire classified as being part of the Cotswold? Google it.

[@csharpe5787]

James, this is too privileged people who don’t know how privileged they are. Do you think you do, but you won’t have a clue? I’m not knocking it, but it is what it is.

[@kirsttom193]

So relatable. Not.
