The Last Leg is a satirical take on the recent press, mainly political stuff, hosted by comedians Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe. Initially the show was created as a satirical but true-to-form lookback at the Paralympics which the show still does every two years but as I stated above, it's mostly about political jokes and pop-culture references.
I've never been a fan of this show because I enjoy watching shows that are meant to entertain, not lecture me on being left or right-wing. Of course, as it's an "adult comedy show" there's plenty of sex jokes, shock humour and swearing galore; the three keys to British comedy panel shows.
The hosts... they can be likeable if they want to; but most of the times they're more annoying than anything. Josh is the only one of the trio who doesn't have a disability and he's normally the butt-monkey for whatever reason. Alex is alright, but Adam usually gets on my nerves after a while because he is utterly annoying.
There are plenty of guests as well, some who you wouldn't really expect to see on post-watershed programming as well. There's a good variety to be had there.
Can the show be a bit one-sided? Yeah. Is it not meant for everyone? Of course? Is it for me? Nah. I don't hate this programme as much as I did a couple of years ago but there's still nothing major to write home about.
