The contact_groups value in a host escalation replaces the
contact_groups value from the host definition.  To accomplish what you
want, you need to set contact_groups to be
"<original_group>,servicedesk".  Of course, you are using a wildcard for
the hostgroup_name, so you would probably need a separate escalation for
each hostgroup since they may have different original contact groups.
