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."
