I think he lives in America, actually. I've never seen him host a chat show,
although he did sign up for reality show "I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of
Here" a couple of years or so back - do you have that programme in the US?
It's the one where they stick a load of people who used to be famous in a
jungle in Australia and make 'em eat grubs and sleep with one another,
though I've not actually seen it so I may have misunderstood that last bit.
Lydon walked out fairly early on, I believe. However that appears to have
given him a taste for insects as the last time I saw him on the telly, maybe
a year ago, he was being interviewed on "Richard and Judy" about a nature
show he was presenting, called "Megabugs" for the Discovery Channel. 

PiL circa "Metal Box" were fantastic. Mind you, the vinyl did get very badly
warped inside the tin. I bought at least 3 copies which were unplayable so I
had to take them back to the shop. YouTube also has the "Whistle Test"
performances of "Careering" and "Poptones".

I was thinking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGoEcIEv3_Y
but yours is cooler.
I guess John Lydon went on to become kind of a chat show star in England?
