The second season of Last One Laughing UK premiered on March 19. David Mitchell won season two of Last One Laughing UK. The season two finale involved a sudden-death tie-breaker where any laughing or smiling resulted in immediate elimination.
When neither finalist laughed in the final challenge, the winner was decided by who caused the most laughs throughout the series. Fans criticized the tie-breaker ending as 'anti-climactic' and unfair, with some arguing Sam Campbell should have won. Romesh Ranganathan was eliminated in an episode fans called 'unfair' after host Jimmy Carr hid in a cupboard and provoked him.
It was 'easier' facing off with comedians in Last One Laughing because I have experienced comedy in situations 'where no one laughs', such as Peep Show.
The premise of Last One Laughing is that comedians must try to make each other laugh while ensuring they don't laugh themselves. The show is hosted by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty. Season one was a major success, becoming Prime Video's most-watched UK show.
The season two lineup included Alan Carr, Amy Gledhill, David Mitchell, Diane Morgan, Gbemisola Ikumelo, Maisie Adam, Mel Giedroyc, Romesh Ranganathan, Sam Campbell, and Bob Mortimer. Bob Mortimer was the defending champion from season one. Bob Mortimer is re-entering the arena for season 2.
I may be in trouble in Last One Laughing because I laugh in various situations, calling it 'the worst casting ever'.
