''The Last Leg'' (known during its first series as ''The Last Leg with Adam Hills'' and its end of year special as ''The Last Leg of the Year'') is a British television show that originally ran alongside the 2012 Summer Paralympics every night following the main coverage on Channel 4. Hosted by Australian comedian Adam Hills and co-hosted by Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker, it gave an alternative review of the day's events. The Last Leg is also broadcast in Australia on ABC Television. Featuring a mix of comedy, guests and Paralympics highlights, the show received strong reviews and regularly pulled in more than a million viewers each night of the Paralympic Games. Since then, the show has become a weekly show giving an alternative look at the week's events. Micky Flanagan co-hosted the first show of 2014 as a temporary replacement for Alex Brooker, who was in Austria as co-host of ''The Jump''. ==Format== ''The Last Leg'' is summed up by Hills as: "Three guys with four legs talking about the week." This refers to the fact that both Hills and Brooker have only one leg each. The original series, broadcast during the 2012 Paralympics, was a look back at each day's events during the competition, as well as a look at the news that week. Following on from the Paralympics, the series became weekly and thus looks at the events in the news that week, as well as covering Paralympic matters. The show features guest interviews with Paralympians and celebrities. The series is broadcast live and encourages interaction with the viewers at home, holding polls via Twitter using hashtags. A recurring theme in the show is the use of the hashtag #isitok to highlight questions from Twitter users to be asked in the show. Initially it was for asking questions about disability that people felt awkward asking; the broadening of the show's remit is reflected in the questions asked in this stream. Recurring segments in the show include rants or attacks by Hills on certain people and organisations, which has since resulted in the coining of Hills' catchphrase: "Don't be a dick!"〔 Also there is "The Last 7 Days", in which Widdicombe looks at more comic news items that have occurred during the week, and Brooker's various attempts to qualify for the 2016 Summer Paralympics. Another is the "Bullshit Buzzer", which was first used in a segment in which Brooker interviewed the then leader of the Liberal Democrats Nick Clegg to see if Clegg could persuade him to vote in the 2015 UK general election. Brooker would press a large red buzzer that played an audio recording of him saying the word "Bullshit" if he thought Clegg was lying during the interviews. Since then the buzzer has been used in various situations whenever the show thinks someone is lying. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Last Leg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
