Amazon Eyes UK Version Of ‘LOL: Last One Laughing’; Hit Format Is Helmed Around The World By Graham Norton, Trevor Noah, Rebel Wilson
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Amazon Prime Video is eying a UK version of hit format LOL: Last One Laughing. Deadline understands the streamer has been scoping out indies to produce the UK version over the past few weeks via an informal tender process, with that process now in its final stages.
The show is yet to be greenlit and we understand no final decision will be made until the format launches next year in Ireland, a version that is being helmed by one of the UK’s top presenters, Graham Norton.
Trevor Noah, meanwhile, is down to host the upcoming South African version following his Daily Show exit. LOL: Last One Laughing sees comedians stay in a living room-style studio for several hours during which they must try to make the others laugh by any means possible, while not reacting to their opponents’ attempts to make them break.
