Iain Stirling is the voice you hear every night on Love Island USA, cracking jokes at the expense of the Islanders.
The comedian recently reflected on a joke he made on the Peacock dating series that didn’t land well with audiences.
In a recent interview, Stirling recalled mentioning beloved Islander Jeremiah Brown, who was dumped by his fellow Islanders in one of the shocking twists of the season. Following his exit from the villa, viewers have been hopeful he would return to the show to continue exploring after a tumultuous time with Huda Mustafa.
On Episode 21, Olandria Carthen and Nic Vansteenberghe were given another chance to return to the villa after being dumped, and Stirling joked Jeremiah was returning as their waiter on their date.
“I’ll be honest, it was, perhaps, a misjudgment by me,” Stirling told E! News. “I genuinely thought people would appreciate the nod to him, because we very rarely talk about it, but if you think about it, it’s an unwritten rule that I never really joke about the islanders once they’ve gone. I’ll maybe do a joke as they’re leaving. So it’s a big deal.”
Stirling noted that “it was a genuine statement of love that I mentioned Jeremiah after he’d already left the show,” adding, “I thought people would be, ‘Oh, that’s funny.’ He was such an intrinsic part of the show. Some people did take it as such, and then some people sadly didn’t, and I apologize to those people.”
The comedian not only narrates Love Island USA, but also continues narrating Love Island UK for ITV2.
Following the rise in popularity of Love Island USA, Stirling has set two dates to bring his stand-up comedy show to the United States. Stirling will perform at the Improv in Los Angeles on October 22, 2025, and then in New York City on October 29, 2025, at the Manhattan Gramercy Theatre.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Stirling talked about his excitement about bringing his comedy to the U.S.
“Hopefully, people that have enjoyed me on Love Island, and particularly enjoyed my voice, just sort of seeing what I’ve been doing for 15 years, which is stand-up,” he said. “It’s my chance to show America that this is what I do and I’m not just a guy in a dark room behind a microphone.”
