Red Richardson gets the moustache treatment on arrival and tells Harry the real story behind his Tonight Show appearance with Jimmy Fallon — the sanitised set, the Rockefeller Centre security, and why a podcast clip got more reaction than national US television ever did. Sarah the AI Bot runs through Red’s path from a near-miss Harry Potter audition (lost to Daniel Radcliffe) to his viral Stay Toxic sketches and a US tour built off Instagram alone. This week’s Theme of the Week welcomes naval historian Andrew Choong Han Lin to mark 110 years since the Battle of Jutland. Red tries his luck in What’s in the Watermelon? and Gary delivers yet another classic in his joke corner.

This week on The Harry Hill Show, the team deal with a stowaway stoat before welcoming Ore Oduba — Newsround alumnus, Strictly Come Dancing champion and Rocky Horror Show veteran.

Sarah the AI Bot runs through his journey from a sporty Dorset childhood and Loughborough University to a broadcasting career spanning Newsround, Match of the Day Kickabout and the Royal Opera House, plus his unlikely Strictly win.
