Harry Hill: My assassination fear

WTF: Weekly Trivia File

•'I'm not drunk nearly as much as people think I am.' Dylan Moran.

• Harry Hill has revealed that he feared he had been targeted by gunmen the day after Jill Dando was killed. The comic called police to say he'd found a bullet hole in his car windscreen and feared for his life. He told fellow comic Joel Sanders: 'I used to drive this old 1954 A30. The windscreen was shattered, there was a small circular hole in it, which to me looked like a bullet hole. I was absolutely convinced that someone had taken a potshot so I phoned the police and said, "It's Harry Hill here reporting that someone's fired a bullet at my car." I could hear him sighing and he said: "Well, we're very busy sir, we'll try to get round to you". So I said: "It's just with the Jill Dando case…" I actually said that. Like there's some assassin's got a list. Top of the list is Jill Dando, second is Harry Hill. He comes round and says, "I've had a look at the car and it's not a bullet hole, it's a stone - someone has thrown a stone at your car." [I said.,] "Could it be linked to the Dando case?" I don't know what the hell I was thinking.' Here's the full footage of his interview from the Namedroppers show at The Backyard Comedy Club, Bethnal Green, in which he also talks about being targeted by identity thieves:

• A poignant touch from Clive Anderson when filling in the Guardian's standard Q&A. 'Have you ever said "I love you"and not meant it?' the newspaper asked. 'No, but I have meant to say "I love you" and not said it.'

• You might have known there were going to be consequences… Jerry Seinfeld's Upper West Side sitcom apartment was recreated in its entirety this week as part of an exhibit to mark the show's debut on US on-demand network Hulu. It didn't take long for one fan to decided to recreate Kramer's dramatic entrance and.. yada yada yada… he's not welcome back:

• Jack Whitehall has spoken of how he voiced a character in Frozen, a troll called Gothi. 'I was very excited… I am a huge Disney fan,' he tells Graham Norton on his chat show tonight. 'I had one line – I nailed it, it was so good. I told everyone I was in it but when I watched the movie my line wasn't in it. When I called my agent thinking I had seen a different cut of the film, she said, "Oh, I got an email saying your part had been reduced to a non-speaking role." It is an animation!'

• Paddy McGuinness had been made into a waxwork model for Madame Tussauds in Blackpool in a process which took four months and £150,000. The Take Me Out host said: 'It's been an absolute honour to have a wax figure created and I can tell you now, they didn't miss one measurement.' He means his penis.

• Dapper Laughs banned a reviewer from his new show – even though they has been invited to attend. One of the controversial character's representatives had asked the Liverpool Echo to cover his 're-erection' tour at the city's Studio 2 venue on Tuesday. But when journalists arrived, they were turned away by staff. The ban came a few hours after the newspaper reported on feminists' protest about the gig. He's also been complaining that journalists reporting what he does is 'harassment' - though there's not quite enough irony in the world to go into that.

• Jimmy Carr performed a stand-up routine at the wedding reception of Swansea City midfielder Jonjo Shelvey and former S Club Juniors star Daisy Evans last weekend:

• It's one way of meeting the spiralling costs of performing at the Edinburgh Fringe. Comedian Louise Reay is being sponsored by the Chinese government to stage her show It's Only Words. Its Confucius Institute, which aims to promote Chinese culture, is backing the experimental performance - which is performed entirely in Chinese, but aimed at audiences who don't speak the language. 'I asked them and they said Yes,' she told blogger John Fleming. 'It's a real lesson in just posing the question.'
