Thrills! Suspense! Sesquipedalian! These are just some of the words that could be spelled correctly or absolutely fumbled, in the new season of ‘Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee’, returning this June.
Host, comedian Guy Montgomery, and his loyal assistant, Aaron Chen, will return to test whether Australia’s best and brightest comedians are bright in the world of spelling across ten episodes. There’ll be more hilarious misspellings, witty banter, and unforgettable moments.
Four comedians will take to the podiums each week, vying for the most prestigious prize on TV: the chance to defend their title the following week.
Guests in season two include Hannah Gadsby, Hamish Blake, Julia Morris, Rove McManus, Denise Scott, Becky Lucas, Kirsty Webeck, Josh Thomas, Dave Hughes, Dilruk Jayasinha, Susie Youssef, Lizzy Hoo and more.
Each episode features five high-stakes spelling rounds. . . And this season, there are new ones, including ‘The Love Spell’, where comedians must date potential matches in the hopes of gaining a ‘partner’ to help them spell. Plus, there’s ‘Speance’, a spelling-seance, where the comedians will connect to a spirit to help them spell the next words. And in ‘Show And Spell’, the comedians have been asked to bring in something from home they can spell. . . But all is not as it seems.
Season two of ‘Guy Montgomery’s Guy Mont Spelling Bee’ hits ABC iview on 4 June.
