Last One Laughing Season 2 Premieres with Shocking Cameo
The highly anticipated second season of Last One Laughing UK has finally arrived on Amazon Prime Video, bringing back the hilarious competition where comedians battle to be the last person to laugh. The show, hosted by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty, premiered on March 19 with three episodes, featuring a star-studded cast and one unexpected guest that left viewers in awe.
Star-Studded Cast Returns with a Champion
Joining the comedic fray in the LOL bunker this season are some of Britain's biggest comedy names: Alan Carr, Amy Gledhill, David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Romesh Ranganathan, and Sam Campbell. Notably, the reigning champion from the 2025 season, Bob Mortimer, returns to defend his title, promising more of his signature quirky humor and perhaps another round of his famous magic tricks.
Richard Madeley's Surprise Appearance Steals the Show
While the lineup is packed with comedic talent, it was a surprise cameo in episode three that truly captured fans' attention. Broadcaster Richard Madeley, often compared to the fictional character Alan Partridge for his distinctive style, made a shock appearance, being interviewed by Sam Campbell. This unexpected moment sent social media into a frenzy, with fans expressing their delight and disbelief.
On Reddit, user kelliphant exclaimed, 'Just started episode 3 and I can’t lie, I absolutely lost it when Richard Madeley appeared, 10/10 unexpected.' Another user, EarnTheCrown, praised the segment, calling it 'the funniest part out of the 3 eps for me.' GlennSWFC was amazed by Sam Campbell's quick wit during the interview, noting, 'That response to Richard saying it’s like talking to a soulless robot is one of the finest retorts I’ve ever heard. So quick off the mark.'
Critical Acclaim and Fan Reactions
The show's return has been met with widespread praise, not just for Madeley's cameo but for the entire cast. On X, @MarcWilcox13 highlighted Diane Morgan's performance, tweeting, 'Diane Morgan’s Joker in Last One Laughing is the funniest thing you’ll see this year.' @1StevieKilner echoed this enthusiasm, joking that if viewers don't laugh at Morgan's act, they must be 'officially dead' or have something terribly wrong in their lives.
Critics have also lauded the season. Metro's Sabrina Barr awarded it five stars, describing it as 'a bit of joyous, silly fun' and declaring it one of the best shows on TV right now. Chris Bennion from The Telegraph gave it a 4/5 rating, while Carol Midgley of The Times called it a show that's good for the soul. However, not all feedback is uniformly positive; some Reddit users, like Bookwritingalt, feel the first season was funnier, calling it 'lightning in a bottle.'
