Late Night Mash set for second series on Dave
Digitalbox plc (AIM: DBOX), the mobile-first digital media business, which
owns Entertainment Daily, The Daily Mash and The Tab, is pleased to announce a
new series of comedy, Late Night Mash. Nine episodes of the series have been
commissioned, which will air on Dave later this year, with Rachel Parris
replacing Nish Kumar as the host.
Late Night Mash was Dave's third-most watched programme of 2021, peaking at
600,000 viewers. Inspired by The Daily Mash, the UK's leading news satire
site, Late Night Mash is a continuation of the successful BAFTA-nominated show
The Mash Report, which aired on BBC2 for four series. As the owner of The
Daily Mash, Digitalbox licenses the brand's content for use on television to
the show's producers, Zeppotron.
Digitalbox CEO James Carter commented: "It is great to see the Late Night Mash
return to Dave later this year, with an exciting new host. The last series was
a great success and continues to show the strength of the Mash brand. We look
forward to continuing our partnership with Zeppotron."
