Mo Gilligan won't move to Hollywood until Americans "start adding beans to their fry-ups".
Mo Gilligan doesn't plan to move to Hollywood
The 34-year-old comedian recently spent some time in the US, where he met TV star Jimmy Fallon, and Mo has now joked about why he won't make a full-time switch to Hollywood.
Asked if he enjoyed his time in the US, Mo replied: "It was fun. The weather is sensational. It was, like, October and still sunny.
"It was a very weird experience. I’m very lucky to be able to do what I do and the fact I was able to go all the way out there to film a show for the BBC, which is a huge thing in itself … if this was it and it all went away tomorrow, I’d have still fulfilled a lifelong dream.
"Being on that Universal set, you feel a part of history, you know?"
Asked if he'll swap London for Hollywood, Mo joked: "I don’t think I’m going to be able to make the switch. Not until they start adding beans to their fry-ups!"
Mo's new TV show, 'That’s My Jam', is based off an idea from Jimmy. The stand-up comedian loved spending time with the TV veteran, who hosts 'The Tonight Show' in the US.
Speaking to the Metro newspaper, Mo explained: "The coolest thing about meeting Jimmy was that he told me to just be myself. He told me to just do the show my way.
"I was quite lucky to come out to LA and see the first series being filmed and to film our pilot over there.
"We got to hang out and he’s got some cool celebrity friends he was name-dropping, like Keanu Reeves and Dolly Parton. We did some cool sketches together to launch the show. I really liked him, he was a down-to-earth, cool guy."
