Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr and Graham Norton appear in a Daily Express compilation revisiting televised jokes about David Walliams. The outlet frames the clips around recent allegations, while stating at the outset that Walliams denies any wrongdoing.
The Short reached nearly 100,000 views in eight hours, putting it well ahead of the channel's usual pace for this format. It is an edit of earlier television appearances, rather than a new interview with Walliams or a report setting out the allegations.
The selection moves from the British Comedy Awards and a red-carpet interview to Alan Carr: Chatty Man, 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Graham Norton Show. Its organising theme is how other celebrities joked about Walliams, but those exchanges do not establish what the speakers knew about any alleged conduct.
The final extract includes Walliams's response: after Norton jokes about restrictions on school visits, Walliams explains that the reason was COVID.
