Amazon Confirms Season 3 and Halloween Special
Amazon has officially announced that a third season of Last One Laughing is in development, along with a Halloween special. Host Jimmy Carr will return to oversee the action from the surveillance room, with Roisin Conaty as his deputy. The streamer indicated that fans can anticipate more muffled laughter in 2027.
Fan Suggestions for Season 3 Cast Members
With the show's future secured, Metro readers have shared their ideal picks for the next season. Here are the top comedians fans hope to see:
- Karl Pilkington: Known for his work with Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, and as the star of An Idiot Abroad, Pilkington is praised for his unique comedic style. Reader Warren White noted, "Not strictly a comedian but Karl Pilkington would slay."
- Alex Horne: Co-host of Taskmaster, Horne is a favorite among comedy enthusiasts. Simon Woodley believes he would deliver "a brilliant joker" performance, given his extensive experience in comedy.
- Ricky Gervais: A globally recognized comedian, Gervais is seen as a high-profile addition. Dean Pilling commented, "He'd never do it but Ricky Gervais would be good," highlighting his potential impact despite his selective participation in mainstream shows.
- Bill Bailey: With decades of stand-up and panel show experience, Bailey is considered a prime candidate. Padraig Stapleton described him as "epic," noting his ability to draw from a rich comedic background.
- Sarah Millican: A regular on shows like Mock The Week, Millican is suggested for her engaging presence. Tony Stratton called her a "great" choice, though her tendency to laugh might challenge her poker face.
Honorable Mention and Fan Sentiments
Several readers nostalgically mentioned the late Sean Lock, who passed away in 2021. Den Kelly wrote, "Sean Lock would have been absolute gold. May he rest in peace," reflecting on his legendary status in comedy.
Will David Mitchell Return for Season 3?
While Amazon has not confirmed David Mitchell's return, fans speculate he might defend his title, similar to Bob Mortimer in season 2. On Reddit, user Pepys-a-Doodlebugs expressed hope for a "winner stays on" format, suggesting Lee Mack as a competitor to challenge Mitchell. Dragonbird added, "David just shone, whereas Sam didn't participate that much. I've never seen David funny in those ways before."
Last One Laughing continues to be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video, with anticipation building for the next season and special events.
