In the full-length episode, the trio travels to Mauritania in West Africa, but James was criticized over a recent joke on the program.
“The Sand Job” is the penultimate episode of the program after the hosts decided to cancel the program.
However, at the very last minute they managed to cause more controversy.
One disgruntled fan was left moaning at James on X – earlier on Twitter – over comments he made on the program about the US state of Florida.
During the episode, James visited the local library, where the tour guide gave some explanations for what the TV host was reading.
