It's weird how some viewers see Fry or Richard Osman read stuff out on those shows and they assume it's all coming from inside their heads rather than a screen or an earpiece.
Fry use to do the same chat show riff, over and over again, about how celibacy was the only rational choice, and how sex was repugnant, and every interviewer used to just sit there and beam with adoration at him, agreeing with all that he said in spite of the fact that they obviously didn't agree with it. Then he decided to inform the nation that sex was actually a good thing, and again he was greeted as if he'd just made Wittgenstein clear and simple for ordinary folk. Then he felt the need to explain to the nation why bread and potatoes shouldn't be eaten. Then he decided he needed to point out how bread and potatoes were okay in moderation. When he lost weight he felt obliged to explain to the world how mature and important it was. When he put the weight back on, he felt similarly obliged to stress how unimportant it was. On and on it goes, and no one ever seems inclined to pause and say, 'Didn't you recently argue the opposite???'
He's hopelessly contradictory and desperate to be adored, with the latter exacerbating the former. He'll defend 'proper' English but also applaud people who are barely literate. He'll insist on the importance of education and then dismiss it. At the moment he's doing his usual incoherent balancing act at the MCC, waffling away about cricket traditions whilst straining to seem 'with it, daddy-o' about any rejection of said traditions. Relativists must worship him.
