Alan Carr lands brand new ‘bucket list’ comedy series with streamer

Alan Carr lands brand new ‘bucket list’ comedy series with streamer

Published by Daniella Wilson

Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr is set to front another big TV series on a major streamer. The Picture Slam comedian, who’s been in demand since winning the BBC reality series last year, is set to front The F**k It List, a comedy series for Prime Video. The show will see Carr and other comedians – including Tom Allen, Joanne McNally and Jack Dee – head on a road trip to try out classic “bucket list” experiences, determining which of them are truly “try before you die” and which should go on ‘the f**k it list’. You can see the first preview image at the top of this article. Filming on the show has kicked off and will take place across Iceland, the Canary Islands, Scotland and England. It’s one of multiple new adventures on the horizon for Carr after he became the winner of the first season of The Celebrity Traitors last year, with the star also set to lead a new castle-based TV series for Disney+/Hulu.

The weather in Las Vegas wasn’t looking good. The plan had been that each employee of YC-backed Bucket Robotics would carry parts of their booth in their luggage to the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show. But CEO and founder Matt Puchalski didn’t want to take the chance that one (or all) of their flights would be delayed. So he rented a Hyundai Santa Fe and packed it up.  “It was… it was tight,” he said with a laugh on the show floor.   It took 12 hours driving in the rain, but the gear – and Puchalski – made it safely to Las Vegas, and so began the young company’s first-ever CES. San Francisco-based Bucket Robotics was just one of thousands of companies exhibiting at the annual tech conference, a speck of sand on a beach full of products and promises. But despite its modest setup in the automotive-focused West Hall, Puchalski said the trip was worth it. Part of that was a willingness to be tireless, observant, and always ready to pitch. An engineer by trade, Puchalski spent most of the last decade working on autonomous vehicles at Uber, Argo AI, Ford’s subsidiary Latitude AI, and SoftBank-backed Stack AV. At those jobs, Puchalski developed deep connections in the automotive industry, and we crossed paths all week. Techcrunch event San Francisco | October 13-15, …
