It's no secret that Johnny Vegas is a unique and talented individual, but he's not too keen on being compared to another famous TV personality, Jeremy Clarkson. While it may seem like a harmless comparison, Johnny wants to make it clear that their TV shows may have some similarities, but that's where the comparison ends.
Both Johnny and Jeremy have names that start with the letter J, and they both have reality shows that focus on their respective businesses. However, for Johnny, that's where the similarities end. His show, Carry on Glamping, follows his journey as he tries to establish a successful luxury camping business. While the show documents his venture, Johnny insists that it's completely genuine - something that he can't say about Jeremy's show, Clarkson's Farm.
"It really bothers me when people say, 'Oh, it's like Clarkson's Farm'," Johnny vented during an interview with Times Radio. "His show is staged, and you can see that from a mile away. That comparison is insulting to me, my team, and our hard work. We were working 17-hour days to get the campsite ready because it's a real business with real customers, and we couldn't let them down."
In fact, Johnny is so passionate about his business that he took a jab at Clarkson's Farm and proposed a "glamp/farm off" to settle the comparison once and for all. Only time will tell if this friendly competition will come to fruition.
As for how Johnny got into the glamping business in the first place, he chalks it up to a classic case of a midlife crisis and a drunken 2am purchase on eBay. "I named her Patricia, after my late mother," Johnny shared. "So it's become a bit of a tribute to her." Now, guests can stay in a variety of vintage vehicles on his campsite in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Clarkson's farm, Diddly Squat, has been a long-time project for the TV personality. He purchased the 1,000-acre land back in 2008 without putting too much thought into it. "The truth is, land almost never comes up for sale around here, and it was during the financial crash, so I thought, 'Nobody's making more land, so I might as well buy it'," Jeremy explained in an interview with LadBible.
What started as a personal project quickly turned into a successful TV show, Clarkson's Farm, which has even surprised Jeremy himself. "I thought the show would be a gentle disappointment to fans of The Grand Tour," he admitted. "I never expected it to have a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, make a star out of farmer Kaleb Cooper, and get picked up for a third series."
Despite their different approaches to their TV shows, both Johnny Vegas and Jeremy Clarkson are passionate about their respective businesses and are proud to share their journey with the world. Johnny's show, Carry on Glamping, is set to air its second season tomorrow at 9pm on Channel 4, while Clarkson's Farm is available to watch on Amazon Prime.
