Adam Hills reviews Nick Clegg's performance
Adam Hills, the presenter of The Last Leg, an anarchic chat show that recently played host to the Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg, reviews his appearance.
Adam Hills, The New Statesman, 10th February 2015Button that makes political interviews worth watching
Alex Brooker's Channel 4 encounter with Nick Clegg was a model of how to talk normally to a politician - and make them talk normally back.
Hugo Rifkind, The Spectator, 5th February 2015I could not have been more sceptical about the idea of Nick Clegg appearing on Adam Hills' The Last Leg (Channel 4, Friday) to supposedly shake young voters out of their apathy. It turned out to be a joy to watch.
Russell Brand he ain't. But Clegg has something else: a genuine self-consciousness that translates into humility. He is a bit of a wally. But he is a well-meaning wally. When asked to rate, on a scale of one to 10 how bad he felt about tuition fees (one = "no regrets", 10 = "can't sleep at night"), his sheepish "nine and a half" got him a round of applause.
The cynical take? "Trying out his post-election career," tweeted @richbu1. Whatever Clegg was doing, he aced it. Bang on, as the presenters of The Last Leg would say.
Viv Groskop, The Guardian, 2nd February 2015Why is Nick Clegg going on The Last Leg?
Nick Clegg's turn on The Last Leg tonight is quite unusual. The Liberal Democrat leader has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by the presenters of the topical comedy show two weeks ago.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 30th January 2015Nick Clegg proves to be a surprise hit with viewers
It could have been a TV disaster waiting to happen - but Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg certainly didn't disgrace himself during his guest appearance on The Last Leg.
Caroline Westbrook, Metro, 30th January 2015Comedian goes on rant against Katie Hopkins, nails it
Comedian and The Last Leg presenter Adam Hills last went viral with his tirade against the Westboro Baptist Church. His rant against their British equivalent, Katie Hopkins, deserves to do just as well.
The Independent, 5th January 2015The Last Leg of the Year review
This the best sort of yearly review: one which takes place after the whole year has taken place, because you never know what sort of events are going to take place on the last few days of the year... and indeed something did happen which caused a bit of conflict between host Adam Hills and the viewers.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 5th January 2015The genial triumvirate of Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe present a special New Year edition of The Last Leg, looking at the noteworthy news stories of the past year. There will be a dick of the year award, which - in a pleasing display of democracy at work - viewers will be able to vote on, while their trademark "is it okay?" question will be joined by "will it be okay?", looking ahead at that grey area of good and bad taste for 2015. The trio will be joined in the studio by bashful polymath Richard Ayoade.
Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 19th December 2014Josh Widdicombe interview
Josh Widdicombe has said that he didn't think anyone would watch The Last Leg.
Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 13th August 2014Alex Brooker interview
A year on from my last chat with him, I caught up with Alex Brooker to find out what the past year has been like for him.
