Meanwhile, back home in England, David's old comedy partner Matt Lucas has teased the Little Britain reboot. They are working on new TV projects.
Little Britain began as a radio show that was turned into a comedy sketch TV series for the BBC between 2003 and 2006.
During an appearance on This Morning on Wednesday, co-creator Matt was quizzed about rumors of a reboot for a new generation.
Matt teased the possibility of the show returning as he revealed that he and David have been working on several new ideas for TV and elsewhere.
He said: 'What we're doing is working on some different TV ideas, and maybe ideas in other media as well, it's been a long time and we've got to do things together again.

Matt Lucas teased the Little Britain reboot on Wednesday's This Morning, revealing that he and David are working on new TV projects.
Little Britain began as a radio show before being turned into a comedy sketch TV series which aired on the BBC between 2003 and 2006.
'So we create different things.'
This Morning co-presenter Ben Sheppard said: 'My youngest nieces and nephews watch Come Fly With Me on Netflix and love watching your stuff.
A completely different generation is suddenly discovering all your comedy on different streaming platforms. How's that for you?'
Matt replied: 'It's weird. Come Fly With Me, I saw it last night, I think it's number three on Apple – you'll know when you download it.
It's usually in the top three, along with Game of Thrones and things like that. But after 15 to 20 years, the youth have discovered the show.
A lot of people have found them on TikTok. They are naughty, naughty shows but young people love it.
It comes after Little Britain returned to BBC iPlayer in 2022, with blackface footage cut by producers, after being pulled from the service in 2020.
Certain scenes were promised to have been removed by creators Matt and David, and advisory warnings were used at the beginning of some episodes.
Appearing on This Morning on Wednesday, co-creator Matt was quizzed about rumors of a reboot for a new generation.
Matt teased the possibility of the show returning, revealing that he and David are working on several new ideas on TV and elsewhere.
Some of its characters were retained, including Vicky Pollard and wheelchair-user Andy, with others including Matt's gay Welshman Taffyd Thomas and David's 'cross dresser' Emily Howard.
As part of the show's 2022 revival, characters in blackface were removed, including other racial stereotypes such as Pastor Jesse King, Desiree DeVere, and Thai bride Ding Dong.
In a statement at the time, the BBC said: 'Little Britain is available to fans on BBC iPlayer following revisions made by Matt and David to the series to better reflect the changes in the cultural landscape over the past 20 years since the show. First done.'
However, the BBC defended a 'blatantly racist' sketch, which is still available to watch on iPlayer, where David is. An Asian character is described as 'smelling like soy sauce' and 'Ching-Chang Chinese Man'.
The corporation says the sketch 'aims to expose and poke fun at outdated prejudices and racism that still exist in parts of British society' and viewers felt the content was inappropriate in Ofcom's new research.
Both Matt and David apologized for using blackface on the show that launched their careers.
The sketch, which first aired in 2002, features David University employee Linda Flint describing an Asian student, Kenneth Lao, to her manager on the phone.
He is described as a 'yellow-skinned, light-smelling soy sauce … Ching-Chang China man'. This scene is accompanied by a laugh track.
Both Matt and David have apologized for using blackface on the show that launched their respective careers.
