The Last Leg of the Year 2022: what time does it start, how to watch - who are the guests?

Channel 4 is treating viewers to one last festive helping to send off to 2022 with a special episode The Last Leg.

Comedians Adam Hills, Josh Widdecombe and Alex Brooker are back on our screen with their unique brand of satirical humour to look back on one of the most newsworthy years in recent memory.

From the show’s humble beginnings during the 2012 London paralympics, The Last Leg has become a firm favourite for the Friday night lineup on Channel 4. Adam, Josh and Alex have become renowned for their witty and comedic takes on the biggest news stories of the week, with viewers encouraged to take part on social media.

The Last Leg of the Year will see the three hosts joined by a series of special guests. This includes famous faces from the comedy, entertainment and music world, including Rylan Clark and Sue Perkins.
