Episodes
1. Sure Here We All Are NowHost Graham Norton kicks things off as 10 funny Irish folk pit their wits - and whatever else they’ve brought with them - against each other in the hopes of landing some all-important laughs. Keep an eye out for a very (very) early yellow card and a little bit of Tony’s French fancy.
2. A Woman's HeartOh, it's all kicking off! We’re only into our second hour and we’ve already got a handful of comedians teetering on the edge of elimination as Aisling gets a little emotional and a surprise blast from our Irish past pushes the group dangerously close to the edge.
3. Clown DownWe’re really cooking now as the game hits the midway point and the cast are forced to weather a Jason-shaped storm, Tony breaking out some very big, very sexy guns and Amy filling us in with some fun facts that may or may not be true (spoiler - they’re not). Could we also see the game’s first red card?
4. Stir CrazyIt’s all starting to unravel as the group go a little bit stir crazy, prompting the introduction of a real life mermaid, a faded rockstar, a former Irish president and some very flatulent fingers.
5. Hiya!It’s raining red cards in the penultimate episode of this side-splitting series. Martin takes to the stage in an attempt to bring some class to proceedings, only to realise it’s a fruitless task when someone whips out their talking melons. Graham also lays on a banquet that leaves the group seeing double.
6. Masters at WorkGraham finally steers the good ship LOL into port in this incredible last episode of the series that sees our final five throw everything plus the kitchen sink at their fellow funny folk in the hope of being crowned our first ever Champion… who will be the Last One Laughing?More Like This
Frank of Ireland

We don’t want him to succeed, but it’s fun to watch him try.

Hollywood Squares
1966 · ★ 7.7
Hollywood Squares is an American panel game show, in which two contestants play tic-tac-toe to win cash and prizes. The "board" for the game is a 3 × 3 vertical stack of open-faced cubes, each occupied by a celebrity seated at a desk and facing the contestants. The stars are asked questions by the host, or "Square-Master", and the contestants judge the veracity of their answers in order to win the game. Although Hollywood Squares was a legitimate game show, the game largely acted as the background for the show's comedy in the form of joke answers, often given by the stars prior to their "real" answer. The show's writers usually supplied the jokes. In addition, the stars were given question subjects and plausible incorrect answers prior to the show. The show was scripted in this sense, but the gameplay was not. In any case, as host Peter Marshall, the best-known "Square-Master" and the man in whose honor the show's first announcer, Kenny Williams, actually "coined" the term, would explain at the beginning of the Secret Square game, the celebrities were briefed prior to show to help them with bluff answers, but they otherwise heard the actual questions for the first time as they were asked on air.
