Season 19's line-up consists of Ghosts star Mathew Baynton, podcaster Rosie Ramsey, The Good Place comedian Jason Mantzoukas, stand-up Fatiha El-Ghorri and sketch comic Stevie Martin.
They’re all currently active, mostly have comedy backgrounds, and mostly don’t do touring so scheduling them is probably fairly easy? Plus a lot of the contestants are talked into it through their celeb mates, so once you have one person from a show it’s easier to get their fellow cast members in.

Derek!
Should be fun. I got excited for a second seeing Steve Martin listed, but it's not the movie star.

What's the reasoning behind their obsession with actors from Ghosts?
