Prime Video Confirms ‘Final One Laughing UK’ Hosted by Jimmy Carr – Edinburgh

Prime Video has confirmed that it is releasing a UK version of the international format. The last laugh.

We said last year that Amazon’s streaming service was exploring a UK version of the show, which has releases on Prime Video in several regions, and is now moving forward after a bidding process.

Comedian and presenter Jimmy Carr will host the show, which will air exclusively on Prime Video worldwide in 2025.

In the series, a group of 10 British comedians will spend the day in a living room-style studio together trying to make each other laugh. The first laugh gets the contestant a yellow card, the second gets the player out of the game (red card), and the only way to communicate with the outside is via a host-controlled phone. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out.

“It has the holy grail of format development: a very simple concept that’s really popular,” said Kat Lynch, executive director of UK Unscripted at Amazon MGM Studios, announcing the show today at the Edinburgh TV competition. She wouldn’t reveal the lineup, but described it as “very good – all the people we wanted,” and asked the producers in the room to find “the next person.” The last laugh“

The last laugh in the UK Quoted from the original Amazon documentary From Japan, it was created by and stars Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo. The format became the most-watched title ever on Prime Video in France, Germany and Italy, and had local versions in over 20 territories. Local celebrity presenters include Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Puli” Herbig (Germany), Insurgent Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).

“I’m happy with what I’m doing,” Jimmy Carr commented. The last laugh in the UK With Prime Video. It will definitely deliver, and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun to its neighbors. Usually when I do a TV show with 10 great comics, I hope everyone gets a good laugh, but not with this series. The last one to laugh wins. It’s a great format and it’s been a huge hit all over the world. I can’t wait to see who laughs first.

“We are very excited to introduce the UK version of The last laugh“Prime Video,” said Tara Irrier, Head of Originals UK & Northern Europe at Amazon MGM Studios. “This show has been a huge hit globally, and we can’t wait to see how the UK’s talented comedians will put their own spin on it. The UK has always produced world-class comedy, and having Jimmy Carr as host is a fantastic addition. His sharp wit and comedic brilliance are the perfect combination to oversee the hilarity that is sure to ensue.”

British record labels Preliminary and Banijay’s Zeppotron will produce the series.
