\n\t\t\t\t\tGuy Montgomery returns to ABC… with a new season three sidekick.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Guy Montgomery\u2019s Guy Mont Spelling Bee returns for a third season later this month with new sidekick Sam Campbell (Taskmaster, Sam Pang Tonight) replacing Aaron Chen.<\/p>\n
Playing this season are Hamish Blake, Melanie Bracewell, Myf Warhurst, Charlie Pickering, Andrew Denton, Urzila Carlson, Anne Edmonds, Matt Okine, and Nazeem Hussain.<\/p>\n
Following two breakout seasons and host Guy Montgomery taking home the Logie for Most Popular New Talent, Australia\u2019s favourite spelling competition is back for round three.<\/p>\n
The 10-episode season delivers new games and a brand new assistant. Comedian and gloriously self-effacing oddball Sam Campbell steps into the role of TV\u2019s most unserious sidekick, bringing a disconcerting presence that baffles contestants and audiences even more than the wordplay itself.<\/p>\n
Each Wednesday, Montgomery and Campbell will test four of the nation\u2019s sharpest comedians as they battle it out across five high stakes spelling rounds.<\/p>\n
New challenges this season include \u201cNoah Thing or Two\u201d, where comedians must spell pairs of animals boarding Noah\u2019s ark (some may exist only in Campbell\u2019s imagination); \u201cMixologist\u201d, which sees an extremely uncoordinated Campbell attempt bartending while contestants guess and spell his mystery cocktail; and \u201cDo Feed The Birds\u201d, where competitors attempt spelling whilst dressed as ducks and pigeons.<\/p>\n
Transforming everyone\u2019s least favourite high school activity into a fast-paced, offbeat and extremely wholesome panel show, Guy Montgomery\u2019s Guy Mont Spelling Bee continues to prove there\u2019s a whole lot of fun to be had with the alphabet.<\/p>\n
