Comedian Adam Hills joins Channel 4 in exclusive contract

Adam Hills has signed a one year deal to appear on the network exclusively.

Adam says, “The Paralympics is one of my favourite events in the world. When Channel Four offered me the chance to cover it with The Last Leg, I jumped at it. It’s not often you get the chance to do something you absolutely love, that people seem to connect with. I thought The Last Leg was going to be an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m over the moon to think that we can do it all again. “

The broadcaster states the new deal comes after his role as the host of The Last Leg, the late night show that ran daily during Channel 4’s coverage of the Paralympics, Hills will return with A Last Leg Christmas Special and a series run in 2013. Alex Brooker and Josh Widdecombe, his co-hosts will be resuming their places on the sofa, alongside Hills.

“We knew The Last Leg was something special and we were in no doubt we wanted to keep the show’s spirit of open and frank debate alive. We are working on a number of great ideas that will help push the show forward from its paralympic origins into a broad, intelligent and entertaining series. I’m hugely looking forward to working again with Adam, Alex and Josh.’ Says Entertainment Commissioning Editor, Syeda Irtizaali.

Channel 4 will also be showing a stand-up special of Hills live in concert recorded in December, at the Lyric Theatre in London. Adam Hills Live From The West End.
