Russell Howard will host guests including new The Masked Singer judge Mo Gilligan and Downton Abbey star Jessica Brown Findlay in upcoming episodes of his topical satire show The Russell Howard Hour.

The comedy show, which airs on Sky One and streaming service NOW TV, recently kicked off its fourth series and sees comedian Howard present his own satirical take on the biggest global news and entertainment stories.

He will soon be welcoming and interviewing new guests in the form of comedian and recently-announced The Masked Singer judge Gilligan and actress Brown Findlay, who played youngest Crawley sister Sybil in Downton Abbey and who has also starred in Black Mirror and Harlots.

Also added to the guest line-up are writer and journalist Elizabeth Day, who wrote How to Fail: Everything I've Ever Learned From Things Going Wrong, and comedian Kevin Bridges.

The show's new weekly feature 'Life Lessons' will continue to feature acclaimed performers including Aisling Bea, Phil Wang, London Hughes, Guz Khan and Love Island's Iain Stirling.

The show also features the 'Good Deeds' segment, which highlights acts of kindness and generosity from the public, as well as live performances from comedians and musicians.

Howard's previous guests have included singer Ed Sheeran, actor Jim Carrey and broadcaster Louis Theroux, so we should expect some quality chat.

The Russell Howard Hour airs on Thursdays at 10pm on Sky One and is also available to watch on NOW TV and on Howard's YouTube channel.
