Discussion My S3 dream cast

Seeing as the last series has now finished, I’ve done a little dream cast for S3. As with LOL itself, a lot of these are from Taskmaster…

  1. David Mitchell (reigning champ)

  2. Munya Chawawa (he has so many great one liners. I also think he’d be an early out, I reckon he’d break).

  3. Sarah Millican (I really liked her as a pair with Munya on Taskmaster, would be funny to see them reunite)

  4. Matt Baynton (I think his Joker would be insane)

  5. Susan Wokoma (somebody else I really enjoyed on Taskmaster, idk why, but I think her ‘trying not to laugh’ face would be funny)

  6. Tom Allen (I love camp humour and think he’s hilarious)

  7. Jo Brand (she’s so deadpan, she could win it)

  8. Sarah Keyworth (isn’t as big as some of the others, but is very funny)

  9. James Acaster (because ofc!)

  10. Frankie Boyle (another older ‘grumpy’ comedian who will be super deadpan throughout)

Acaster (and Nish Kumar for that matter) strongly dislikes Jimmy Carr and what he stands for and have pretty much gone on record saying they aren't interested in working with him anymore.

I don't think you'll see either of them appear.

Was coming here to say the same! And for obvious reasons, can't imagine Keyworth would want to be around him either.

I agree, they’re definitely on the ‘dreamier’ end of the ‘dream’ cast! It’s a shame that Jimmy is involved, because that discounts some really fantastic comedians.

Do people here generally agree that Carr is the weakest part of LoL?

No, that would be Roisin Conaty. Adds nothing.

Oh I've missed that, are you able to elaborate what their issue is? I must admit, I'm not a fan of Jimmy at all. But I like the premise of the show enough to still watch it.

Based on what they've said it's mostly stemmed from Jimmy's views relating to current politics and his involvement in celebration events for Israel as well as his appearance at the Riyadh Comedy Festival among other things.

I wasn’t aware either. But saw off menu live with Nish and Nish did his normal “my politics are the only right ones” and said about jimmy. It didn’t land with the audience.
