THE COMEDIAN IS BACK WITH A BRAND NEW SEASON OF HIT GAME SHOW THE 1% CLUB
-
He may call Los Angeles home now, but comedian Jim Jefferies is still very much an Aussie at heart, which is evident when he lands back in Australia to film The 1% Club. "The first thing I do is buy a standard loaf of white bread and a kilo of prawns and a jar of mayonnaise," he tells WHO. "I'll head off to the beach and devour them, because the prawns and bread in America are terrible." With his cravings satisfied, the entertainer gets "down to business", with a new season of the hit game show now on screens. Here, Jefferies, 48, gives WHO the lowdown.
How was it coming back Down Under to film a brand new season of The 1% Club?
I always like coming back to Australia - I miss the food, I miss my family. I still call Australia home and all that. But when I work here, we work at a pretty breakneck pace - we film two episodes a day somedays, so I don't get much chance to do much aside from The 1% Club and sleep. But in saying that, it's an amazing job. Who doesn't love giving away money? There are worse jobs in the world than making people happy.
