“Monty Python” alumni John Cleese defended his new show tackling “cancel culture” and said “wokes” won’t like it because they are “authoritarians” and “people who believe [they] are purer than they actually are.”

The 82-year-old actor/comedian took to Twitter Monday following his appearance on BBC Radio 4’s popular “Today” program on Monday where he talked about that his new unnamed show on GB News would “never get on the BBC.”

“I’m sorry, can we just stop to appreciate that [John Cleese] went on the BBC today to talk about how he would be cancelled if he went on the BBC and there is no irony?” the person tweeted.

“It would depend on the subject, wouldn’t it,” Cleese replied. “The show I have in mind for GB News would NEVER get on to the BBC. Are you able to understand that? I think…probably not.”
