Jimmy Carr-fronted Amazon format back next year

Amazon’s Last One Laughing is to return for a second series.

The show, which involves comedians trying to make their colleagues laugh without cracking up themselves, will be back in 2026.

Host  Jimmy Carr said: ‘I'm absolutely delighted that Last One Laughing is coming back for a second series. I think what's happened is someone high up at Amazon has clicked "subscribe & save" on Prime Video and, hey presto, we're back in business. 

‘I'm so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it. Can't wait to bask in the reflected glory of the next 10 comedy legends taking on the challenge.’

It has not yet been revealed which comedians will be taking part in series 2, which will be filmed later this year.

Last One Laughing UK is the latest international adaptation of the original Japanese series Documental, where comedians stakes their own money. Local versions have included Ireland, hosted by  Graham Norton, Australia hosted by Rebel Wilson and South Africa hosted by Trevor Noah.

The comics who took part in series one of the UK remake - which launched in March -  were Bob Mortimer, Daisy May Cooper, Joe Lycett, Judi Love, Rob Beckett, Sara Pascoe, Lou Sanders, Joe Wilkinson, Harriet Kemsley and Richard Ayoade, with Roisin Conaty as Carr’s sidekick.
