Series Brief

Overview

Adam Hills and co-hosts Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker provide some offbeat commentary on the significant moments of the past seven days.

Why fans love it

The Last Leg emerged in 2013 as a talk show that treats political humor and satire as a team sport. By dissecting the significant events of the previous seven days, the series manages to find an unconventional angle on news that usually carries a heavy tone. It relies on a chemistry between the hosts that feels reactive rather than scripted.

Adam Hills anchors these sessions, balancing the erratic energy of the panel. The show distinguishes itself by inviting figures like James Acaster and Joanna Lumley to participate in a format where the conversation often veers into the absurd. It functions as a weekly catharsis for those who prefer their serious headlines accompanied by a sharp, dismissive edge.
