Boris Johnson jokes about Emily Maitlis' US election coverage
Boris Johnson has hilariously mocked Emily Maitlis for her reaction to Donald Trump’s victory after the former prime minister clashed with the TV host on US election night.
Mr Johnson appeared on Channel 4 as the star guest for the evening but was reportedly "fired" mid-way through for plugging his new autobiography too much.

Ahead of a major interview tonight on GB News, a preview clip showed Mr Johnson responding to Ms Maitlis’s reaction to the US President-elect's huge win.
He agreed with presenter Patrick Christys that she appeared to have a “breakdown”.
The top Tory, who is also set to be asked this evening about Ukraine and his record on immigration, added that the Channel 4 newsroom's reaction was like “elderly beldames who see a mouse running up their petticoats, and they shriek and they jump on the chairs and call for the smelling salts and sal volatile”.

Mr Christys promised there is “all that kind of stuff” to come from tonight’s 9pm interview.
Mr Johnson was a rare pro-Trump voice on Channel 4’s election night coverage. But at about 11.30pm, presenter Krishnan Guru-Murthy claimed the ex-PM had been “fired for banging on about his book too much”.
Mr Guru-Murthy later had to apologise to viewers after Ms Maitlis described some of Mr Trump’s election claims as “bats***”.
Mr Johnson tore into Channel 4 on the night for its “massively skewed” attitude to the new President-elect.
He blasted: “Here’s Channel 4 News … sitting here doing the same old stunt that you tried in 2004 taking a massively skewed approach to a US election.”

Ms Maitlis later accused him of “importing Trump-like behaviour into Britain when you were prime minister”.
“His disregard for institutions. His disregard for the rule of law.

"His denialism ... Mirrored in your response to the Privileges Committee ... Your response to the Parliamentary Standards Committee ... Your proroguing of Parliament.
"This is all Trump-like behaviour."
Mr Johnson hit back, saying he “disagrees profoundly”.
