Jimmy Carr threatened to be 'sued by dad' in bitter feud for very bizarre reason
Jimmy Carr began his comedy career in 1997, as he jokes and signature laugh have become a favourite amongst fans. His highly-rated panel show 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown is back on Channel 4, followed by his gameshow, Jimmy Carr's I Literally Just Told You. However, it hasn't all been a barrel of laughs for the star, as in 2022, it was widely reported that his father, 77 year old Jim Carr Sr, was 'going to sue' his son for defamation after years of 'being the butt of his jokes.' The businessman has reportedly been estranged from his son for over twenty years and in 2022, it was reported Jim Carr Sr finally decided to call in the lawyers after reading his memoir Before and Laughter, which was released in September 2021.
