Jeremy dropped his bombshell while speaking with entertainment reporter Peter Ford.<\/p>\n
Peter said he had never read the job description for the role of chairman of the ABC, to which Jeremy said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI have\u2026 it\u2019s one day a month, near as I can figure.<\/p>\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t bring this up with the management here at FIVEAA but I applied for the job. I did! Just for fun, I did.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey took it seriously, as I took it seriously, knowing full well of course, that\u2019s why I didn\u2019t bring it up with the management here because there\u2019s no way someone like me would ever, ever come anywhere near running the ABC.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would never be allowed, for God\u2019s sake.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had three phone calls back from them and I just put my tongue in my cheek and I went through the motions. Ultimately this very nice gentleman rang me back and said, \u2018I\u2019m afraid, Sir Jeremy, you didn\u2019t make the final cut\u2026 let\u2019s just say you weren\u2019t the right stuff.\u2019<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd I said, oh, I\u2019m not surprised\u2026 I think it was about $180,000 a year. That\u2019s for one day\u2019s work a month. Not bad.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
