Kiwi comic Guy Montgomery is a Machiavellian puppetmaster wearing the skin and ill-fitting suit of a cheery game show host in Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling Bee.
and dubiously punny title, grew from informal spelling bees the dry, alternative Kiwi comedian remotely hosted on Zoom and YouTube during the COVID lockdowns featuring his pool of comedian pals, making them vulnerably display their shaky spelling acumen and get way too competitive. If you ever thought theatersports could use a lot less theater, a lot more Kiwi comedy, and a healthy dose of triggering childhood insecurities, this is the show for you.
When the TV game show version premiered , Montgomery was in full command of his hosting persona—a Machiavellian puppetmaster wearing the skin and ill-fitting suit of a cheery game show host. He is dry, off-kilter, but basically always smiling, happy to snap back at a “country of origin” or “definition” request with a silly one-liner, and talking in a booming, measured cadence that only slips when he’s mocking his contestants or laughing at how absurd this set-up is.
This lack of certainty enhances the inherent anxiety of taking part in a spelling bee, often driving contestants towards confusion, frustration, and delirious answers, like when Hayley Sproull connects a flag that reminds her of Greece with a piece of trivia about halloumi coming from the region “Halloumi.” “That is not how you spell Uruguay,” Montgomery bluntly tells her after she has spelled out the brined cheese.
