Reply to comment by Zealousideal_Role189 in TIL about the famous American novelist Winston Churchill who was the reason why the British prime minister referred to himself as Winston Spencer Churchill. They met on occasion, but gradually Spencer Churchill’s rise to power steamrolled the American into obscurity. by OneLastConquest

To make it worse, I own 2 books written by the comedian, and that isn't even all of them. Also, Sir Winston Churchill ended up winning a nobel prize for his writing. I don't even think most people know he was an author.

Yeah. The comedian writing books is a clear shot across the established author’s bow. Don’t get comfortable, David Mitchell. David Mitchell is making incursions into your turf.

The only acceptable response is for David Mitchell to captain David Mitchell's team on Would I Lie To You, all the while nobody acknowledges that it's David Mitchell and not David Mitchell.
