The Amazon Prime series "Last One Laughing" is a complete success.

Well-known comedians such as Bastian Pastewka and Anke Engelke have already taken part.

Only Oliver Pocher waits in vain for a request.

"Last One Laughing" is now one of the most popular Amazon Prime originals.

In the show with Bully Herbig, a large number of well-known German comedians have already taken on the challenge of not laughing for six hours.

However, Oliver Pocher was not asked for any of the three seasons.

However, he himself cannot explain why.

Not laughing for six hours actually seems feasible until you are locked in a room with comedians like Bastian Pastewka, Anke Engelke or Kurt Krömer.

Luke Mockridge was also asked for the show, but gave Bully Herbig a tough refusal: "I was asked about season one and found the idea so stupid that I didn't want to participate in a flop," announced Mockridge in his Instagram story.

Only Oliver Pocher doesn't seem to have received an invitation to the show yet.

He can't explain why.

However, he fears: “Amazon has other ideas about the cast”.

It remains to be seen whether he will perhaps be seen in the fourth season.

"A fourth season 'Last One Laughing' is just a matter of when, not if"

Although a fourth season is definitely being planned, who will take part in it has not yet been determined.

"A fourth season of 'Last One Laughing' is a matter of when, not if," said Philip Prat, Head of Deutsche Originals at Amazon.

How far can comedy go?

Faisal Kawusi recently had to ask himself this question, who attracted a lot of hatred with a joke about knockout drops.

In a Stern TV interview, he apologizes to Edith Stehfest for the inappropriate joke.

In addition, Kawusi apologizes to Motsi Mabuse for a racist joke he made five years ago.
