Jimmy Carr EXPOSES Truth about his CANCELLATION

Excerpt from my conversation with Jimmy Carr on cancellation, James Corden and Sean Lock.
• Jimmy Carr - What Canc...
I ask Jimmy Carr about his experience being publicly exposed for his private Tax Affairs and how that stacks up against being cancelled for his humour. He provides advice that he received from James Corden and Sean Lock during this chapter of his life.

American here-the first I’d ever heard of Jimmy’s tax problems was on Cats, when it was one of the topics of the week. When Jimmy said, “In my defense-well, I got nothing”. I had to look up the story, and my respect for him for that statement went sky high! More people ought to do that. Anyway, I’ve liked him ever since. You’ve got me as a fan, Jimmy!

[@tootsy1100]

Yes he said I could tell you about all the charity work I do but I don't see the point in lying 😂😂

[@chicocannon]

Well dig deeper, he was far from the only person involved, several other high profile celebrities were also involved but he got hung out to dry, the others had better publicists I guess

[@donepearce]

The problem for me was that everything he did was approved by the government. Also many of the MPs criticising him were indulging in their own far more numerous tax dodges. I have no problem whatever with his tax dealings.

[@bradmenpes809]

Sean roasting Jimmy over tax avoidance is one of the greatest acts of friendship I've ever seen.

[@bryguy87]

When jimmy talks about ‘call on the day’….. even if you say “ I don’t know what to say”…. Call’em on the day. My Mother battling cancer…said the exact same thing! “Son, no matter what… call them…even if you say ‘I didn’t know what to say’ at least acknowledge what they’re going through” It means more than we know. It shows empathy, in a difficult time. ❤

Jimmy was never cancelled, the fact he was on the show getting rinsed is the literal evidence

That's why he wasn't cancelled. (I agree with you) He owned it and admitted he was in the wrong. He learned from his mistake. Everyone who gets cancelled doubles down and blames everyone else.

Jimmy, I love you so much, you are genuinely one of my favourite comedians, even if I get uncomfortable on occasions (which is one of the things I love about your comedy) … but please, please, please stop saying you were cancelled on multiple occasions … you weren’t. As someone who was cancelled for very personal financially related reasons, and it took 14 months to even get a hint of something (in a very different world to comedy) the only thing I’ve ever been offended by you is the “I’ve been cancelled” … otherwise mate you are the fkn bomb, absolutely loved your new Netflix show, keep up the awesome!!

[@magillanz]

Jimmy Carr has never stopped hosting every other TV Show and performing sellout tours. Doesn't sound very cancelled

[@Codex7777]

Just because the cancellation didn't succeed, doesn't mean it wasn't attempted. Lots of attempts at cancellation fail and the way Jimmy responded helped enormously. It also helped that his accusers, mostly Tory MPs, were quickly exposed as hypocrites. They went on and on about Jimmy Carr but when, shortly after Tory supporter and donor, Gary Barlow was found to have done something worse and on a much bigger scale and didn't offer to pay it back, it was suddenly, "We can't comment on individual cases"! Utterly hypocritical but it helped Jimmy's position. :)

yyYYees finally (0:28) Jimmy says what we've all thought off Cameron for doing that, "called out" well Cameron likely just had people better able to hide where Cameron moves his earnings away from HMRC. (Tid bit on the "HMRC"; I googled it to be sure it was correct, and it was, just, I am Swedish, such that I've never had anything to do with British tax and that, kinda funny, due to Jimmy Carr being barked at for tax avoidance and I've seen KZbin videos so many times over, that I had the "HMRC" printed into my memory) Also due to "Have I got news for you" and other British content I am more aware of the british politics, and the recent joke that have been "the British PM post" (May-Liz-Boris), (oh and FYI Sweden have had a similar issue with "no-good PM" just prior to our last election where we had to do a re-election so the UK is not the only place to have such issues with electing twits for PM post) All that to say that I am quite aware of how moronic Cameron was to piss on Jimmy Carr, when he dam well have done the very same thing.

My friend got cancelled :( he was stealing in a shop and got caught. Unfortunately for him strategy "I fucked up. Let just I will give You stolen stuff back" didn't work. I liked Jimmy as comedian and even as a person. But this constant "everybody wants to cancel me all the time" bs just made him unlikable.

[@christopherberry8519]

The funny thing is, I don't enjoy his overtly disgusting side very much - but when he talks about free speech, people letting their feelings get hurt and such, he makes more sense and becomes more entertaining. I guess the added intellectual dimension he puts in now raises his game to where the crudeness is overshadowed by his debating skill.

[@stormwildthing5321]

Just seen this clip, I'd heard that as well, it was a legal loophole, what i don't get is, if he didn't do anything illegal, why did he have to pay anything back?

[@junbh2]

Because it was unethical even though it was legal. Lots of things aren't against the law but aren't really 'the right thing to do'. FWIW I believe the law was changed a while later to make the thing he did illegal, because enough people believed it was a bad thing to do. He didn't legally need to give the money back but he was embarrassed enough by how upset people were that he decided to. It sounds like something he hadn't thought super hard about before doing.
