In my opinion, the podcast shouldn't have been made in the first
place, given that the mrbrown show is mainly a source of satire and
entertainment.
If however, mr brown had made a tribute that was serious, something
like what he did on National day (so say we all), it would have
been ok. Whether the deceased is an international celebrity or not
is not the issue here. It's whether one has the decency to respect
the departed and their loved ones. Do unto others what you want
others to do unto you.
Just my 2 cents..
