Jimmy Carr fears 'dodgy joke from his past'
Jimmy Carr fears there is a "landmine" joke from his past that will resurface and destroy his career. The comic reckons something that was once acceptable will be deemed sick or offensive in the "woke" world.
Jimmy worries the gag is already online and when it is found, snowflakes obsessed with cancel culture will be calling for his head.
The 48-year-old star said: "I think that I may be retired. It's that lovely line, you know, the joke that ends my career. I've already told it. It's on YouTube somewhere waiting, it's like a landmine. We don't know which one it is. We can't take it down because we don't know."
