Hamish and Andy have taken their misplaced sense of adventure to all corners of the globe, and now it's New York's turn. They will broadcast their show back to Australia from a makeshift studio in a Brooklyn factory in front a live audience of Australian expats and holidaymakers.

Next in the boys' travels is a forest in Washington State, where they take part in LARPing, or Live Action Role Playing. Hamish and Andy also meet Tiger Hood, a street golfer who uses rubbish bins as holes and milk cartons as balls. Hamish and Andy head to a secrecy and truth expert and Hamish continues as Andy's Ultimate Wingman.
Next in the boys' travels is the city of New York itself, where they decide to play a game called New York Dreams, in which people email in their NY Dream for the boys to complete.

The boys also get excited for Hamish vs Andy Round 3, which is stranger racing. Susan Sarandon drops by to the Couch for a chat. It is revealed that during a night at her table-tennis nightclub Spin, Hamish broke six glasses with an aggressive forehand, so Andy decides that it is only fair for Susan to break something of Hamish's.

Little Miss Jocelyn is a British TV sketch comedy written by and starring Jocelyn Jee Esien.

Fist of Fun was a British comedy television and radio programme, written by and starring Lee and Herring. A lot of the show's comic material was adapted from Lee and Herring's radio programme Lionel Nimrod's Inexplicable World. Each episode of Fist of Fun featured several disparate sketches and situations. Fist of Fun began as a BBC Radio 1 series in 1993, before becoming commissioned as a television series on BBC Two in early 1995. It was broadcast at 9pm on Tuesday nights, and was successful, but not a major ratings-winner. The second series was aired on Friday nights, and although its ratings were relatively good, the show suffered from a lack of preparation and poor promotion. The show was not given a third series, and Lee and Herring went on to write This Morning with Richard Not Judy, for BBC Two. Many other comedians who appeared in the series went on to fame themselves, including Kevin Eldon, Peter Baynham, Ronni Ancona, Alistair McGowan, Al Murray, John Thomson, Rebecca Front, Mel Giedroyc, Sue Perkins, Ben Moor and Sally Phillips.
Using his trademark wit, host Graham Norton oversees 10 comedic stars, brought together to make each other laugh by using every unpredictable comedic tool in the box … without cracking a smile themselves. As the clock counts down and the tension rises, whoever can outlast their competitors will be crowned the winner and win a grand prize of €50,000 for their charity of choice.
Kings of Comedy was a reality television series broadcast made by Endemol for Channel 4. The show was presented by Russell Brand and narrated by Matthew Rudge.

The winner got the chance to make his own pilot show.
