Jimmy Savile began deflecting by saying, you just couldn't be nice in this world anymore without someone accusing you of being a monster.

This is what you get for being nice to people.

Yeah.

Savile, however, did make a few appearances here and there on British television in the last years of his life.

In 2006, he made a cameo on Celebrity Big Brother, but actually ended up acting quite shy because everyone else was more important and famous than he was.

Weirdly, Dennis Rodman was on that season.

Oh yeah, dude.

But as the years went by, that shyness became Savile's M.O.

Because Jimmy Savile would act like a lost dog if people weren't constantly acknowledging his fame and his reputation.

For example, when he went away for weeks on an American cruise ship during his twilight years, he was unsettled because the ship was full of Americans.

And Americans have no fucking clue who Jimmy Savile is.

Yeah.

So Savile had his secretary call him on the cruise ship every day he was out to sea, simply so she could affirm to him that he was indeed a special boy, even if the Americans had no idea that there was a British legend in their midst.

Now Savile was quite long in the tooth when the new Millennium hit, but that didn't stop him from being monstrous.

When Savile was brought in to co-host the last episode of Top of the Pops in 2006 when he was nearly 80 years old, he still managed to sexually assault a teenage girl in the studio audience.

Yeah, I'm in the top of the pops.

That's what I used to do.

Sometimes.

Sometimes.

Yeah.
