Spotlight Star
I think that the funniest cameo was Ken Jeong's, so I have chosen him as the Staged Spotlight Star. Perhaps a little bias from the Masked Singer family, but he's an incredibly funny man, and stood out in his scenes with Martin.
Alternatives were Whoopi Goldberg, Jim Parsons and the show's creator, writer, producer and starrer Simon Evans.
Opinion
I'll be honest here, I just didn't connect with it whatsoever. I laughed maybe once in all 20 episodes, and found the third series difficult to watch with the Zoom element taken away. I think it was too similar to No More Jockeys for me to like it. NMJ is so much funnier and more natural imo. Great cameos though, and the final episode was possible the best of all twenty.
