Meanwhile, Prime Video has just dropped its first ever Irish programme, LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland, which sees nine stand up comedians and Amy Huberman (!) locked in a room for six hours while Graham Norton watches to see if any of them laugh or smile. It’s harmless fun but nothing special, and perhaps most noteworthy for the fact that it’s the first time Norton has ever done any work in his native Ireland - he’s mostly known for his UK work.
Well RTE and Virgin Media can't afford him now, but Amazon has deep pockets and of course Graham is known internationally too - Graham is a big hit in the US, his talk show is watched by millions there, and he has been on their own talk shows such as Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers.
