Weatherman leaves under a cloud...

Has Jim Jefferies fired Brad Pitt as his weatherman?

A clip released by Comedy Central shows the comedian dropping the pessimistic meteorologist who have brought his new late-night show so much attention.

'I didn't feel he was effectively leading the weather desk,' the comic says at the end of his US show. The screen then shows Pitt's character alone in his flat, drinking and swearing at the TV as he thrusts his hand down his trousers.

In another clip, he explains how more talented you are, the more likely you are to get away with a crime.

He contrasts allegations about Michael Jackson with the child pornography charges successfully brought against Subway sandwich spokesman Jared Scott Fogle.

The clips have been released after Chortle revealed that The Jim Jefferies Show is coming to Comedy Central UK from this Friday. The show will air at 11:30pm.
