Izzy Hammond Makes Restaurant Laugh After Comment

Izzy Hammond is the daughter of Top Gear UK presenter Richard Hammond. She managed to get a whole restaurant laughing with her comment when, not long after the show ended, both Richard and James were paying for food at a restaurant. Izzy said "Well technically lads, I should pay as you haven't got a job between you."

When Richard Hammond left the BBC program Top Gear in 2015, his own daughter Izzy made some sarcastic comments about his financial future. In March 2015, an altercation between Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson and a producer occurred, involving a cold steak being served to him the day after filming. Clarkson was let go from BBC as a result of the altercation. He had punched producer Oisin Tymon. The producer took him to court and as a result, received £100,000 from Clarkson. In the aftermath of the altercation, fellow presenters James May and Richard Hammond left, stating that they "come as a package". They then started their new, Amazon-based program The Grand Tour

During an interview related to the altercation, Hammond talked about the financial worries and the hilarious comments his daughter made. During an interview on the Fuelling Around podcast, Richard Hammond said "After we'd finished the show James had come over to stay with me for a few days. We'd gone to Kentucky Fried Chicken to get lunch for everyone with Izzy. We got to the front of the queue, put our order in, and James said 'Oh, oh, I'll pay' and I said 'no, no mate, I'll pay' and he said 'no, no, I'll pay'. And then there was a pause, just when the whole restaurant had gone quiet, and Izzy said 'Well technically lads, I should pay as you haven't got a job between you.' And the place detonated with laughter. She obviously then thought 'This is the best game'.

So subsequently, at the end of the queue in Morrisons, I'm home so I was doing the shopping, as I was waiting to pay she would say very loudly 'Daddy, daddy, so when does your credit card stop working?' and I'd go 'Oh, for God's sake,' and again a whole store of people were in hysterics."
