Co-host of The Last Leg for C4 & Host of the Paralympics - Funny Guy
Since 2012, Alex Brooker has co-hosted Channel 4’s comedy panel show The Last Leg. He is also the host of Let’s Be Having You! The 00s Football Podcast, co-hosted with Chris Scull and Nick Lustig, which embarks on a series of 00s based football adventures.
Having graduated with a BA/Hons in Journalism from Liverpool John Moores University, Alex began his career as a sports journalist, first at the Liverpool Echo and then at the Press Association.
Alex then successfully auditioned for Channel 4 after seeing their advert for the Half Million Quid Talent Search to find new disabled talent for the 2012 Paralympics. He joined Channel 4 fully in March 2012 and reported at the Paralympics Opening Ceremony, interviewing Boris Johnson and then Prime Minister David Cameron in front of a TV audience of 11 million people.
The Last Leg has been a popular TV favourite ever since. Alex and his co-presenters Adam Hills and Josh Widdecombe won three RTS Awards in a row between 2017 and 2019, most recently for Best Entertainment Programme.
In 2020 and 2021 Alex co-presented C4’s show One Night in… with Josh Widdecombe. The show documented Alex and Josh spending nights with unlimited access to Britain’s theme parks and museums, including Alton Towers and the Natural History Museum.
