On Last One Laughing, the comics are given six hours to make their opponents giggle.
Laugh or smile as soon as, and also you get a yellow card from host Jimmy Carr.
If you break twice, it is a purple card and also you’re out.
Maisie says the environment is a bit like being in school in the back of the classroom.
“You’re not meant to be laughing, but you can see all your mates trying to make you laugh, and they’ve got that twinkle in their eye,” she says.
“You see them trying to stifle a laugh. It’s that, for hours on end.”
Maisie’s rivals this collection embody comedians Diane Morgan, Mel Giedroyc and Romesh Ranganathan.
But she was most nervous about going through returning champion Bob Mortimer, who entered season two to a refrain of dismayed gasps.
Maisie says: “When we were doing our interviews beforehand, they were asking: ‘Who would be your worst nightmare?’
“And we mentioned Bob Mortimer, however fortunately he will not be in.
“He smashed it in season one, and because he was on season one none of us thought he’d be in this one.”
Maisie says Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr was additionally a fearsome opponent.
“Anybody who saw Alan in the Traitors knows he’s completely unserious,” she says.
“He’s funny before he even opens his mouth because of the looks he’s giving.”
