Steve Coogan has been banned from driving after doing almost double the speed limit in his sports car last year.
The actor and comedian was driving his Mazda MX-5 SE at 54mph in a 30mph zone in Black Rock, Brighton, on 14 October.
A Sussex Police spokesman said he was disqualified from driving for 28 days at Worthing Magistrates' Court.
The 50-year-old star, who lives in Greenways, Ovingdean, did not attend the hearing but entered a guilty plea through his solicitor.
He was also fined £670, ordered to pay a victim surcharge of £67 and costs of £85.
Earlier this month it was confirmed that Sky Atlantic will air the third series of Coogan and Rob Brydon's award-winning show The Trip.
The Trip To Spain sees their characters back on their culinary quest as they embark on a road trip on the Mediterranean coast.
Coogan said: "Having thought long and hard about yet another sojourn into culinary distractions and middle age, I have reluctantly agreed to Eviva Espana.
"I have a hole in my diary, there will be free food and accommodation and Rob Brydon is surprisingly good company."
