Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont-Spelling Bee is a New Zealand television comedy panel show on Three, created and presented by Guy Montgomery and co-hosted by Sanjay Patel.[1][2] The show is loosely based on a spelling bee: each episode, four comedians participate in a series of rounds, where the goal is almost always to spell words or names in rounds that are "designed to be infuriating to take part in and entertaining to watch".[3] The winner of each episode competes again the following week, and the loser of each episode (the one who got last place) must wear a dunce cap in the Dunce's Corner.[1]
The first series of Guy Mont-Spelling Bee aired in 2023, and the second series aired in late 2024.[4] An Australian version of the show was commissioned by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) in 2024.
