Episodes with Joe Wilkinson

Joe Wilkinson is a guest on Countdown. He is a stand-up comedian, seen on panel shows, such as 8 out of 10 Cats.

On 24 August 2012, he became the show's first male arithmetician, when he filled in for Rachel Riley during the second numbers game of 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown, and in every mash-up up to Series 4, he has appeared as Riley's "assistant" for the second half of every show.

Since Catsdown became a full series, he makes occasional appearances in episodes where he was not the Dictionary Corner Guest.

In that same show, he also appeared as a contestant, and was then the guest captain on 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown Series 6, Episode 9 and Episode 14 in 2015. He subsequently reappeared as the guest captain in 2016 to 2018.
