Financial guru Martin Lewis has delivered a masterclass in good humor after being the target of a cheeky joke on the hit Amazon Prime series Last One Laughing. The show's second season featured comedian Alan Carr attributing a risqué quote to the money-saving expert, sparking widespread amusement among viewers.
The Joke That Sparked the Response
During the latest installment of the comedy phenomenon, which pits ten comedians against each other in a six-hour battle to avoid laughter, Alan Carr dropped a memorable line that quickly went viral. In the open-plan setting monitored by numerous cameras, Carr told his fellow contestants: 'It's not who you know, it's who you blow. Martin Lewis the money man told me that.'
Lewis's Perfect Comeback
After numerous fans alerted him to the reference, the 53-year-old financial expert took to social media platform X to address the situation with characteristic wit. Lewis tweeted: 'Many people asking me did I see what Alan Carr said about me on Last One Laughing. I have indeed, I love the show. And I did indeed tell him that, it's what made me the man I am today!'
In a follow-up comment, Lewis added context for those unfamiliar with the show, describing it as 'an inside joke (quite literally in some respects) for those who watch it,' demonstrating his ability to take the ribbing in stride.
Last One Laughing's Growing Popularity
The Amazon Prime series has become a streaming sensation, currently sitting at the top of the platform's most-watched lists. The second season features an impressive lineup including returning champion Bob Mortimer, Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr, deadpan comedian Diane Morgan, and emerging talent Sam Campbell, who has emerged as a surprising standout with his unpredictable humor.
What Makes the Show Special
Last One Laughing creates a unique pressure-cooker environment where comedians must maintain straight faces while their peers attempt to break them with increasingly outrageous antics. From helium tanks to personal anecdotes, the contestants employ every trick in the book to provoke laughter. The show's format has proven so successful that a third season has already been greenlit and is scheduled for filming this spring.
The second batch of episodes is set to release next week, with viewers eagerly anticipating whether Bob Mortimer can defend his title or if a new champion will emerge from the talented pool of comedians. The series continues to demonstrate that just when audiences think they've predicted the outcome, the show delivers unexpected twists and hilarious surprises.
Martin Lewis's gracious and humorous response to being referenced on the show exemplifies why he remains one of Britain's most beloved financial personalities, capable of handling even the most unexpected public mentions with charm and wit.
