Last Leg viewers threaten to boycott after Corbyn rant
The Last Leg viewers weren't happy with last night's instalment following host Adam Hills' rant against Jeremy Corbyn. The comedian appeared to suggest there is a "cult" surrounding the Labour leader but viewers felt it was a "smear campaign" against him.
Helen Daly, The Daily Express, 18th August 2018Why Adam Hills is still waiting for Last Leg's impact

Helen Bushby, BBC, 23rd July 2018Such is the turbulence of 2018 that it's impossible to second guess the contents of a topical talkshow. What on earth will Trump or May do next? What seems safe to assume, however, is that Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker's comic chemistry will guide us through whatever fresh horrors are afoot.

British Comedy Guide, 7th March 2018The 13th series of the Friday night institution continues. Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe -first thrown together to provide agile quips and quality bants for the 2012 summer Paralympics - show no sign of slowing down. They'll be taking on the events of the week, as ever, in front of a live studio audience.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 2nd March 2018This cheerful, topical comedy is never off air for long - and with world affairs teetering on the brink of madness so much of the time at the moment, that is probably not surprising. The genial but incisive Adam Hills hosts, while Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe comprise the show's regular comedy backbone. As ever, it is likely that the special celebrity guests - keen to stretch their satirical chops as a form of protest - will provide the incentive to watch. Increasingly, something of a Friday evening institution.
