Jimmy Carr to Host Last One Laughing UK

Prime Video has ordered a U.K. version of the hit format Last One Laughing, which will be hosted by Jimmy Carr.

In the show, Carr challenges ten of Britain’s funniest comics to spend the day together without so much as cracking a smile. The rules are simple: laugh and you’re out. The six-part series will be available exclusively on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories worldwide in 2025.

Last One Laughing UK marks the latest adaptation of the Amazon original series from Japan entitled Documental, created by and starring Hitoshi Matsumoto and owned by Yoshimoto Kogyo. There are local versions in over 20 territories, featuring celebrity hosts such as Graham Norton (Ireland), Jay Baruchel (Canada), Eugenio Derbez (Mexico), Fedez (Italy), Michael “Bully” Herbig (Germany), Rebel Wilson (Australia) and Trevor Noah (South Africa).

Carr commented: “I’m thrilled to be making Last One Laughing UK with Prime Video. It’s sure to deliver, and if it doesn’t, it will leave the fun with your neighbors. Usually when I make a TV show with ten brilliant comics, I’m expecting everyone to have a bloody good laugh—but not in this series. The last one laughing wins. It’s a great format, and it’s been a huge hit around the world. I can’t wait to see who cracks up first.”

“We’re incredibly excited to bring the U.K. version of Last One Laughing to Prime Video,” said Tara Erer, head of U.K. and Northern Europe originals for Amazon MGM Studios. “This show has been a huge success globally, and we can’t wait to see how our talented U.K. comedians put their own spin on it. The U.K. has always produced world-class comedy, and having Jimmy Carr on board as the host is a fantastic addition. His sharp wit and comedic brilliance are the perfect fit for overseeing the hilarity that is sure to ensue.”
