In this upcoming episode, Ayoade makes his 12th appearance on the talk show, with Jack Dee stepping in as a comedian among the panelists and Kelly Cates as the host.
In this particular episode, you’ll see Dee making her 22nd appearance on the show, and it will mark the first time that new “Match of the Day” host Cates steps onto the screen for her debut.
Just recently, I found myself joining an hilarious competition on Amazon’s Prime Video – Last One Laughing. Sharing the stage with comedy heavyweights like Bob Mortimer, Joe Wilkinson, Lou Sanders, Daisy May Cooper, Judi Love, and the charismatic Joe Lycett was quite an adventure!
In March, I was thrilled to witness the premiere of a gameshow where an illustrious group of celebrities tried to crack each other up, all the while struggling to maintain their composure.
Just last week, it became official that the series is coming back for another round, and our beloved host, Jimmy Carr, will be returning towards the end of this year accompanied by a fresh group of comics.
Carr expressed great joy in the return of ‘Last One Laughing’ for another season, as he shared in a statement.
It seems like someone of high rank at Amazon may have accidentally subscribed to Prime Video, which could explain why it’s functioning again for us now.
I’m thrilled that everyone enjoyed the first season as much as we did creating it. I can hardly wait to share in the pride of the upcoming 10 comedy greats tackling the challenge!
The upcoming episode of “Have I Got News For You,” hosted by Richard Ayoade, is set to air on BBC One on the 6th of June starting at 9 pm. You can also catch it later on BBC iPlayer.
