All of James' jokes from when he went on Quite Interesting S13E15. The subject was Mixing and Matching
Check out James' standup-show(s), Repertoire, on Netflix, they're absolutely hilarious.

@@khwarizmatic437 Wouldn't it be more like; 'Oh damnit stupid snake, why did you tell me to eat that apple?' Also, kindof random perhaps, I don't know if that's your actual name. But there's a book about a horse called Lucky Star and a girl, Eve or Eva and she wants that horse. And then she gets one that she doesn't like, it's called Ali Khan. Just a little warning, it's not a nice horse or a pretty horse. But it was a cool name. Edit: I googled it, it's called "mijn droompaard" in Dutch. (My dreamhorse.) Written by Harriet Buchheit. Could be that she is Dutch or German, not sure if the book exists in English.

Unfortunately, there are actually people out there who don't know Lemmy, and has Patrik above has already said, it's likely a good chunk of the audience/viewers of comedy panel shows will be confusing him with Limmy, so I'd say Stephen Fry was just being a host at this point and adding clarity. If he was really desperate, he'd have chucked a couple of facts in, but he just clarified and moved on.
